I am searching for information on George Adam RIPP, b. 1812 d. 1882, and
Catherine Ann BRILL, b. 1800 d. 1856, both immigrants from Germany who
settled in Franklin County, and their children, including Otto John
Franklin RIPP, b.1836 d. 1891.
Through the many helps afforded by Randy Klemme's website I have
determined that George and Catherine were married in Franklin County on
June 9, 1835, that George initiated his naturalization papers in
Franklin County in 1837, and that both George and Catherine received
land patents for land near Blue Creek in Highland Township in 1836 and
1837.
Extracts from a copy-book written by Otto John Franklin RIPP include
mention of Catherine BRILL RIPP's death on August 6, 1856 and of her
obituary in a newspaper or church bulletin titled "The Christian
Apologist", which mentions a Br. Muth in whose church she was a member.
I will appreciate any information received about any of the above
persons and newspaper, and any suggestions as to finding further
information as to church, cemetery, and other family relationships.
Thanks much,
Mason Ripp
