Newsletter for the interchange of genealogical data and history of the Tipton families who came to America in the 1500's from England, Scotland, and Wales. Focus is on (but not limited to) Jonathan Tipton, who was born in Jamaica, and immigrated to Anne Arundell County, Maryland, ca. 1680. He married Sarah Pearce. Their children were Thomas (1693), William (1696), William [sic] (1699), and John (1702). After Sarah died in 1709, Jonathan married Mary Chilcoat. Jonathan died in Baltimore, Maryland in 1757. During the 1700's, some of Jonathan's descendants and other Tipton families lived in Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Virginia. During the 1800's, some moved to Alabama, Mississippi, and Missouri. Later descendants also lived in Ontario (Canada), and in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and elsewhere.

In lieu of vol. 6 no. 2 (spring 1998) and vol. 6 no. 3 (summer 1998), the Association published in vol. 5 (1997-1998) collection a reproduction of "John Tipton, John Sevier, and the State of Franklin" originally published by Dale Reed. It is a history of the State of Franklin, with focus on John Sevier, John Tipton, and others who took opposing sides in its struggle for statehood from ca. 1780-1788. The State of Franklin was made originally in 1784, from part of western North Carolina. It only lasted about four years, and was later merged into northeastern Tennessee, now included in Davidson, Greene, Hawkins, Sullivan, and Washington Counties. John Tipton (b. 1730) of Maryland, moved to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia as a teenager, and later settled in the Holston community in 1783. John Sevier (b. 1745) left the Shenandoah Valley for Holston in 1773. Holston is now located in Hawkins County, Tennessee.
