Gipe Family of NY/PA

Gipe Family of NY/PA

Posted: 14 Nov 2012 11:25PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Gipe, Lethbridge
My father is Warren (Gipe) Fox. Born in Sep 1936, son of Arthur Gipe. He was adopted at the age of 16. His father was Arthur Gipe, born in PA.
From the information I've found, Arthur moved to Dresden, NY at some point, and was the son of Jacob Gipe in PA.
If anybody has any information, it would be very helpful. Arthur married Eliza Lethbridge, daughter of Mabel Lethbridge, in NY.

I also have a Jacob in my tree and have run across yours as I was researching. Both were born about 1851/2, yours in September '52 and mine in April '51, assuming that I'm looking at the correct Jacob in your line. There are others born in the 1854/5 range. While researching, be aware of these guys are often confused with one another. Mine was likely born in Franklin County, PA and moved to Illinois and Iowa. Both had mothers named Elizabeth, and some researchers have made assumptions based on that and connected one or the other to the wrong family. In the end, it's believed that most of the PA Gipe family is from the same line further up the family tree. I've taken an autosomal DNA test and hope to someday identify which of my chromosomes carry the Gipe DNA.
