I am looking for John's mother, who I believe to be Mary Tribbett. John is documented in Lower Antietam Hundred, Washington County, Maryland on the 1800 census as "John Trippet". Located next to him on the census is a "Widow Trippett". Then I find listed on the 1803/4 tax records of Lower Antietam Hundred, Washington County, Maryland a "Mary Trippett" owning 2 horses worth $9, 4 cattle worth $7, 2 sheep worth $?, 3 pieces of household furniture worth $21. Could this be John's mother? Years ago I received documentation from Washington County with a letter stating there was a probate of a Trippett in Washington County. When I followed up a few years ago, they told me there was no such thing. I can no longer find that letter and wish I still had it. Any thought Tribbett family?
