Glenda, I've been looking for a while now for documentation on these people.I posted the following in the Trevett forum.Its all I've been able to find:
Ann Tribute came before the Reverend Samuel Cooper of the Brattle Street Church in Boston on October 14, 1744 with two young boys - Samuel, three years old, and John, two months old, for baptism.
I think it is possible this is Anne Kess. Since Robert and Ann were married December 10, 1741, I have to assume it was possible that Samuel was born in the months prior to the marriage and that Trevett was mangled to produce Tribute. The latter assumption is based on previous observations involving butchered spellings:
- A supposed son of Samuel, Richard, is listed in the 1800 North Carolina census as 'Richard Tribute'. The same person is listed in the 1810 North Carolina census as 'Richard Tribbit'.
- Another supposed son of Samuel, John, is listed in his stepfather's will as 'Tribbit'.
- My great great grandfather, Nathaniel Trivett, is listed in Union military records as 'Tilbet'.
- There is no other record I can find of anyone named Tribute in New England at that time.
