** items quoted are from page 204+ of The Missouri Crosthwaits (...) and Their Descendants, A Study of the Ancestry and Posterity of William Crosthwait (...) by Vida Vance (SLC 929.273 C884v). Chapter is titled The Rippetoe (Rippeteau) Family.

**"The earliest record found for a Rippetoe in Virginia is a deed from Thomas Walker to John Rippetoe dated 20 Jun 1759 in Louisa Co VA. This land was in Orange Co so John and Elizabeth moved there with their family. Later, John deeded the land to their son, Peter on 16 Mar 1772. John, then bought land in Louisa Co, on 20 Sep 1768 and more on 16 Mar 1771. When John received a grant for 83 acres of land from the English Crown on 16 Mar 1771, he became an original land owner. (Can be used for membership in DAC)".

1759 He bought land in Orange Co VA (Evd 97, deed book 13 page 28) and sold same land in 1772 to his son Peter, proving that John (RN 454) is father of Peter (RN 1144).
