General Notes: Wife - Mary Rippey

---

"Hugh Rippey's daughter Mary," James Magaw wrote, May 21, 1733, [was] "berried yesterday; this will be sad news for Andrew Simpson when he reaches Maguire's Bridge. He is to come over in the fall when they were to be married. Mary was a very purty girl; she died of a faver, and they berried her up on rising groun, north of the road or path, where we made choice of a piece of groun for a graveyard. She was the first berried there. Poor Hugh has none left now but his wife, Sam and little Isabel." This is the earliest story of domestic grief in the Cumberland Valley that has come down to us.
