I am reproducing the scanned bible pages here for review by readers of this blog. The only thing I know about these Tiptons are that this bible was from a Tipton family in Eastern Kentucky, Estill County. I have forwarded copies of the bible pages to Paul Tipton of California. Paul has the master records of all the Tiptons in the United States. I'm sure he will come up with the definitive answer which I will share with readers of this blog.
Below is the information provided by the finder of this bible which may help explain who these Tiptons are:
"I found an interesting list within a bible I just found. All the names are Tipton, birth, death, and marriages. The document is in excellent condition. I'm tracing my family tree and have Tipton's as relatives. If your interested in this please let me know.
Finally have the documents scanned. If you have any trouble reading the details, I could probably translate them for you if would like.
There are no geographical locations, but I'm pretty sure that the names on the list are from Eastern Kentucky, probably Estill County or the surrounding area.
I'm tracing my family tree and have come to a dead end on my grandmother's side. Her maiden name was Woosley, her father; William married a Tipton. Unfortunately this is where my trail stops. Any help would be greatly appreciated."

Ron,
Yes, that was how I established some links in my family. When I found those old Family Bible pages locked up in the safe at the Chester County Historical Society I was like a kid getting a birthday present.

Lar,
The old family bibles are the best source of information.
Hello!
I'm one of the Estill County, Kentucky Tipton's. My grandfather was James Allen "Rabbit" Tipton, his father was Clyde Mortan Tipton and his father was Samuel Tipton.
Good luck on all of your research!

My name is Jennifer Tipton, and my grandfather, Hubert Tipton is from Estill county. In fact our family(tipton) still holds property there. I remember attending a family reunion there when I was a child, near Clay City Kentucky if I recall. I am also direct descendant of Major Jonathan Tipton. We live in Louisville Kentucky, about 3 hours away from the Tipton homestead in Estill co.
My grandmother was Florence Tipton (1892-1973), daughter of Joe and Mattie Mackey Tipton from Estill County. I've found records that her grandfather ran a distillery. Her grandparents and two of her sisters are buried at the Mackey Cemetery in Estill County. One of her grandmothers was Malinda Crowe, daughter of Job Crowe. My grandmother always wanted to be in the DAR but she couldn't document her patriot ancestor. Is the Major Jonathan Tipton you mentioned?
