From Jackie Brooks:
After the death of John Hand, his widow married John Edwards of Edisto who left a will by which he bequeathed most of his estate to his wife and her daughter Elizabeth, the wife of John Fripp
The LDS has Anne Chaplin (Wife of David Adams) as William's daughter but the book "TOMBEE" has her parents as Benjamin Chaplin & Eleanor Reynolds
The following information is from Jackie Brooks' files:
*************** From old genealogy chart in FRIPP file , SC Historical Society, Charleston= John Fripp came to Carolina from England sometime between 1670-1690. A record made in 1875 by E. James Fripp who at that time was a cotton broker in Charleston said "The elder John, a widower, with an only son also named John, came to America in 1670 with grant of land on St. Helena Island. One brother William remained in England. There family there is represented by William Fripp of Bristol and W.C.Fripp of London and W.C. Fripp Sr. of London Graphic." We have not been able to prove this by any documentary evidence extant. However there is documentary evidence that shows one John Fripp was living on St. Helena early 1690. Fripp Island & Inlet were named for him. He purchased a plantation on Edisto Island in 1696 and registered his stock mark. He was administrator of the estate of Richard Frampton in 1699 and was High Sheriff of Colleton County in 1701. He was mentioned in an Act ratified June 12, 171, apparently he was living on Edisto at that time. Records show he owned about 500 acres on Edisto and about 1000 acres on St. Helena. His will dated May 1, 1742. His son predeceasing him so his property was left to his grandchildren. ***************
SOME HISTORIC FAMILIES OF SC; Frampton Erroll Ellis, 1962; SC 929.3; Beaufort Public Lib. FRIPP John Fripp was the first of the family who came to America. He was born in Wales as early as 1673 for on Feb.5, 1695, he had a plantation on Fripp’s Island and registered his cattle marks from there. On May 12, 1699 he registered his marks from Edisto Island, and on June 12,1714 an act was passed by the Assembly authorizing the laying out of a road from John Fripp’s place in Edisto to Wilton. In 1702 he served as High Sheriff of Colleton County. His wife Sarah was probably the daugter of Richard Frampton, because on Mar. 22, 1699 after extensive litigation, he was awarded the right to the administration of Frampton’s estate and the guardianship of his minor children. He also owned Hunting Island and several plantations on ST. Helena, where he died and was buried May 29, 1742. The St. Helena Parish Register estimates his age at 61 at death but he was at least 69 at that date. The will of John Fripp was dated May 1, 1742 and proven Aug.12, 1743. It mentions his wife Sarah, his son, John Fripp,Jr.’Lately deceased” and his grandsons, John, William, Paul. Sarah Fripp died and was buried on St. Helena, Jan.9,1756. SC Hist.

They began planting around 1725. One of the largest families on the island, the Fripps owned more than twelve thousand acres on St. Helena and the surrounding islands by 1860. Tidalholm, an elegant townhouse in Beaufort, was the property of Edgar Fripp. Another St. Helena family, the Chaplins, also began planting around 1725. Their plantation, Tombee, was named to honor Tom B. Chaplin, the man who built the family home around 1795. The manor house at Tombee is still in existence......... pg.144-145 Fripp Island was named for the same John Fripp who planted some of the fields of St. Helena Island. Fripp was a British privateer who used his namesake island as a base of operations in the late 1600s. In fact, he was so successful that King George gave him the island. Many of Fripp's descendents still live in South Carolina. Some are buried in nearby island churchyards. No one knows just where John Fripp is buried, but it is said that his ghost occasionally returns to Fripp Island. Unexplained boot prints have been seen on the sandy beach, leading romantic beachcombers to believe that Fripp has come back for his buried treasure. In fact, one man puts so much faith in the tale that he refuses to stay in his luxury home alone.......Title: Jackie Brooks, personal communication, 2000 Repository: Call Number: Media: Other Text: (Cites St. Helena Parish Records 1722-1816, p. 116, and FRIPP GENEALOGY by Albert Newton)

My wife, Joy Fripp Canady is a direct descendent of Sarah Frampton and John Fripp of South Carolina c.1720. We have conflicting info on her parents; common consensus names her father as Richard Frampton, but we have an abstract of Jonathan Frampton naming her and her brother as children of his brother John Frampton. We would like to clear this up. Let me know if any of our info would help.

The Chaplins of Beaufort County By Jim Littlejohn For the Carolina Morning News
You don't have to look far in Beaufort County before you come across a Chaplin. That name seems etched beyond memory across the face of the South Carolina Lowcountry, and those who bear that name today are indelibly linked to that family. Here on Hilton Head Island, one of our major communities that existed far before modern development is still fondly known as "Chaplin."
The large number of today's Chaplins are all descended from an indentured servant from Barbados, John Chaplin, or from those whose ancestors were slaves to the Chaplin family.
John Chaplin came to the Carolinas as a servant of Lord Colleton, one of the Lords Proprietors who founded the colony, barely two years after the settlement was established. It is not known, but it is surmised, that Chaplin was a free man on Barbados, and agreed to the indenture as a way of getting to the mainland of North America.Six years was the agreed term of indenture, and six years later, his period of service done, Chaplin and his wife, Ann, were granted 140 acres on the northern shore of the Stono River, which would have been on James Island. The law then stated that a man who had completed his term of indenture would be given 70 acres and that a "free" woman would be given the same amount. Since the two were granted 140 acres, it can be assumed that they were married before he left Barbados.
John Chaplin did not fare well with his landholding, and wound up losing it because of debt. He then moved south, across the Combahee River into what was then known as St. Helena Parish, and today as Beaufort County. His son, John Jr. sired eight children in his marriage to Phoebe Ladson, whose name is also a memorable one to Lowcountry historians. It was from this family that the other Chaplins received their surname.Of the eight children, William Chaplin went on to become a major landholder in the parish, marrying Sarah Saxby. Their five children included a son, Thomas Benjamin Chaplin, who was the grandfather of another Thomas B. Chaplin, whose name lives on as the owner of Tombee Plantation on St. Helena Island.
It was, by the way, the custom throughout South Carolina to blend families by more than a single tie. Cousins wed cousins, almost at will, and the Chaplins were not far behind in that race. One of Sarah Saxby's daughters by her first marriage to Caleb Toomer married Benjamin Chaplin, brother of her second husband. Phoebe, sister of the two senior Chaplins, married John Jenkins, whose bride was Mary Fripp. Intermarriage of the three clans continued on down to the late 1800s.
One of Sarah and Thomas's children was Saxby Chaplin, who married Isabella Field, whose grandparents were the original John and Mary Chaplin of our story. Saxby died young, and their son Thomas B. Chaplin, born in 1822, became the owner of the family plantation on St. Helena known as "Tombee." Actually, Saxby's will gave half the family land to Thomas, and the other half to his wife, Isabella, with the understanding that the second son, Saxby, would inherit that portion at her death.
Thomas attended "the Richland School for Classical, Scientific and Practical Education," which was located between the present city of Columbia and the town of Camden. As his mother, Isabella, had married her third husband, an Episcopal minister named John S. Fields, the family had moved to the Greenville area where he owned property. There is some evidence that young Thomas might have been a bit of a disciplinary problem to his new stepfather. Indeed, this appears to be borne out by his marriage, a few days shy of his 17th birthday, to a young Charleston miss, Mary McDowell, who at the time was only 15.The young family moved back to the Lowcountry, where Thomas began working on his landholdings -- he would not receive them officially until his 21st birthday - and his family. By the time he reached his majority, the couple had four children.
The plantation house was large for its day, boasting six rooms, each of which had windows on three sides, by virtue of the house's cruciform design. While not the storied mansion of the movies, the house did boast a columned front with a veranda on the bottom and a sizable porch on the second floor.
Thomas B. Chaplin is remembered today for his journal that he kept of life on Tombee Plantation from his youth until his death after the Civil War, and which gives much detail about plantation life during the days of slavery.
This article is based on the scholarship of Theodore Rosengarten's book Tombee: Portrait of a Cotton Plantation, together with Chaplin's journals.
