Connie,
The info that you sent on William J. Rippy and "Bikkie" does connect...we have not "proved" this as yet but we show William J (this J. could actually be an I.) Rippy married first to Elizabeth Hart (our grandma) and Rebecca (Becky/Bikkie) Ann Hart..These girls were sisters and were the daughters of Isaiah Hart (b abt 1811) and Eliza Gill
(b abt 1813/d 24 Dec 1892/m abt 1827)..Eliza Gill was the dau of Reuben Gill and Tempie Jordan...
We have Morgan as the other side of our Rippys..William's son Izeah "Zade" M Sarah "Sally" Morgan...We have found no evidence that the Morgans are of Native American descent..I have no evidence that the Rippys are of Native American descent either...however given that info on the Rippys is so elusive; it could be that is where our "Indian" blood comes in..ours is supposed to be Choctaw..If there is Choctaw in us we think that the Rippys (possibly Irish/the Irish were known to marry Native Americans without prejudice) married into it..possibly the Hart sisters..the name Hart could be Welsh or it could be an anglicanized Native American name..it could be that there is no Native American blood there at all; just the myth of family lore
(this is what I suspect is true)
I will keep secondary email handy.
Thanks
Sherrie Wallace
