Earliest or First
Known Generation
1. Thomas? and Elizabeth (______) FLIPPEN
Thomas Flippen may be the husband of our earliest known ancestor Elizabeth Flippin. He was a resident of Gloucester Co., VA in 1704 where he was paying a Quit Claim Rent in Kingston Parish for 300 acres and was listed as Thomas Fliping. The Quit Rent was required of all Virginian landowners who had to pay the King one shilling for each 50 acres bought. Since his name was the only one found at that time in Gloucester Co., he is believed by many researchers to be the husband of Elizabeth Flippen who left a will in Cumberland Co., VA.
Elizabeth and her children removed from Gloucester Co. (perhaps after her husband's death) to Goochland Co. with the Bedfords and Lilles (her children's families). Goochland was eventually divided and they found themselves in Cumberland Co. in 1749. Her husband was already deceased by the time Elizabeth wrote her will on 21 Jun 1747 in Cumberland Co. The will was probated 23 Jan 1758. Nothing else is known about Elizabeth or her maiden name. According to the will, Elizabeth (and Thomas?) had six children. The birthdates are approximate dates and should not be accepted as a fact.
