Memorabilia of the Tipling Family |

These fine family items, the will of Thomas Tipling and obit of his son Charles A., were graciously submitted by researcher Scott TIPLING. Previously Scott contributed the Tipling and Brown Bible Records.
Scott tells us that: "Here is some stuff I transcribed back in the 60s. Thought it might find a place in the Wayne Co.
website. My ancestor John TIPLING was brother to this Thomas and uncle to Charles A. Of course
the lines have faded over time and I do not know if any of Thomas' descendants remain. I keep looking.

Charles A. TIPLING, referee in bankruptcy for nearly thirty years and one of Long Island's most

Mr. TIPLING's grandfather enlisted in the War of 1812 from New York State, and his great

a member of the Republican General Committee of Long Island City and has always been prominently
identified with the Republican Organization.
Mr. TIPLING was born in Clyde, Wayne County, NY, on February 24, 1863. After graduating from
the Clyde High School he went to Union College at Schenectady and later to the Albany Law School.
He was graduated in 1889 and was admitted to the bar the same year.
