Tipton's of Tybbington Before and Beyond, Part Two

Fifteen hundred years ago, or thereabouts, a family set sail from the cold, windswept marshes of Frisia on the coast of what is now Northern Germany and crossed the North Sea to Brittania (England) in search of a new life. This tribal family settled on the River Tame and farmed in the West Midlands of England. The tribal chief's name was Tybba. The settlement was known as Tybba's Tun (Tybba's farm or village) or Tybbington and finally Tipton.
After living in Brittania (England) for over a thousand years, they were known as gentlemen, meaning men of some wealth. A descendant of this family would make another journey across a greater expanse of water, to the West Indies. He and his family would eventually establish a home in Jamaica. Working through fact and fiction, legend and lore, and including people both real and imaginary, this Two-Part Book explores their stories from the first settlement on the River Tame to the first descendant to step foot on the Chesapeake Bay.
Jonathan Tipton, born in Jamaica, was a real man and the first ancestor of this family to establish his home in a land soon to be known as the United States of America. The name of this epic story is The Tipton's of Tybbington-Before and Beyond. It is written by one of Jonathan's descendants, and is included in The Tipton Chronicles.
