John RIPLEY Notes: Historical Sketch of the First Baptist Church of the Town of Summit by Thomas Broxholm originally printed in a publication called Stars and Stripes, 1913 ' 'The brethren conspicuous in attending the Association meetings from 1810 to 1820 were Deacon Levi Lincoln, Elder James Mead, Elder Julius Beeman, Deacon Chase Hix, Waitsill Cleveland, James Brown, Thomas Stillwell, John Ripley, James Stillwell, Jonathan Owen, John B. VanBuren, Seymour Boughton, Alfred Boughton, Seth Fancher, and Noah Beeman.... On June 19, 1824 at the church meeting held at the house of John Ripley, Byram Palmer was elected moderator and John Ripley chosen as clerk of the day. It was moved to employ Elder E. Spafford half of the time if he could be obtained... At a church meeting held at the house of John Ripley June 18, 1825, James Ingalls and wife Betsy were received by letter. It was voted to give James Ingalls a license to preach. No doubt James Ingalls now acted as pastor. He was ordained about a year later.... On August 26 1826, it was resolved that the church meeting ' 'take place at the house of John Ripley, once in two months, on South Hill.' ' John Ripley's house must have been not far distant from old Henry Albert's, where Elder Ingalls was ordained. On alternate months the church meeting was at the schoolhouse near Matthew Burnett's. Miss Emily Hix says that it was the same schoolhouse that was near John Johnson's, and about a mile east of the old edifice of the Jefferson Baptist Church, organized in 1827, perhaps early in 1826...' ' Last entry showing John Ripley... Dec. 23, 1826
