Crippan, Crippen, Crippin, Crippon, Cripan, Cripen, Cripin, Cripon, Grippan, Grippen, Grippin, Grippon. It's entirely possible, based on handwriting observation and image translations, the surname of Griffin may be added. All these variations can be found and have been used interchangeably in the Federal census and other records.
This website is an extension of Donna's Crippen Family Trail website. Many Crippen descendents have a clear, documented descendency back to Thomas and Francis Crippen.....Many do not. Some barely able to carry their research back beyond the 1890's.
For that reason, this website was created. The information presented here is the result of recording the more elusive members of the Crippen family line. Not all information has been uploaded as of yet and the database will be changing weekly for quite some time. Currently the database is primarily New England, Northern and Middle States. Future additions will branch into Virginia and Southern U.S. Additions, corrections and suggestions are welcome.
Finally, all Crippen researchers have Donna to thank for her devotion and hard work in creating the Crippen Family Trail website; a site for the use of us all. Our website would not be complete without referring you back to the Family Trail website and in particular, Donna's reconstruction and Background statement under the Thomas and Francis Family History. Her word's should be our inspiration to continue her work and the work of those who came before us.
