Genealogy of the Tripp Family by Arthur D. Dean
"Our definite family records of Tripps begins with the 1st Isaac, born about 1700. We know nothing certain of his birth either as to time of place, and only inferentially as to his parentage. The vital records of many towns in Rhode Island are in a defective condition due to fire, ravages of the public enemy and natural decay. Hence it is not strange that many names are lost even if once placed upon the town records. We learn from history that Isaac was a Quaker in religion, a faith that had many followers in the early days of Rhode Island. That he was a man of ability and substance will appear from the circumstances herein recorded."
"Isaac Tripp, Sr., was killed by Indians after the Wyoming massacre, 16 December, 1778, while assisting his son-in-law, Jonathan Slocum, to feed stock from a stack in the field on the Slocum farm where now is the city of Wilkes-Barre. Slocum was also killed and a son William wounded."
"It would be interesting to many readers to find here an account of the capture of Isaac Tripp's granddaughter, Frances Slocum, by the Indians, and her long captivity and life as the wife of an Indian chief; but it would be too long for insertion in a family record of this character. It must suffice to say that when she was discovered by her brothers in 1837, she refused to leave her home and her children, near Peru, Indiana, and return to civilization."

Isaac married Sarah Dow about 1724-1726.

Isaac also married Sarah Sweet in Jun 1729.

Isaac also married Susanna Spencer, daughter of William Spencer and Elizabeth Jenkins.
