I'm not a CRIPPEN researcher myself but I like to share info from my book 1891 "Biographical History of Pottawattamie Co, Iowa" - a bio on Page 379 for C.M. CRIPPEN, a merchant in Neola, Iowa, b. Great Barrington, Mass, April 1, 1847, son of MICHAEL and ELIZABETH (FOOTE) CRIPPEN of English origin on the mother's side. Their ancestry, which was of the agricultural class, can be traced back to the landing of the Mayflower. MICHAEL CRIPPEN had one child by his first wife (Andrew who resides in Massachusetts), and he also had one child by his second wife, namely the subject of this sketch, C.M. Crippen. Two months before his birth, C.M.'s father died; afterward an uncle resided with the family, and when C.M. was only a year and a half old, his mother also died, and he was brought up by the uncle. At age 18, C.M. graduated at Bacon Academy at Colchester, CT. In 1870 he came West with his uncle, settling in Iowa. In 1880, he opened a general merchandise store; he married April 22, 1880, to Miss Mary A. Breckenridge, whose parents were natives of Illinois. C.M. and Mary had children: Bessie May, Carlton F. END. I hope this is helpful to someone.
