Thomas Lypps, one of the old settlers of western Ontario, is descended from German ancestry on the paternal side, and the first of whom there is any definite knowledge was his grandfather, who was born in Germany, and founded the family farm in Ontario at an early day. His children were: John; Hannah, who married Henry Wright; Elizabeth, who married William Wright; and Henry.
John Lypps, the father of Thomas, was born in Pennsylvania, where the grandfather first settled upon coming to the New World. He settled in Colchester South, where he died in June, 1831, at the age of forty-two years, from an injury received while going to mill, having been thrown from his cart. He married Hannah Lidwell, and they had the following children: Eliza, widow of Jeremiah Sissions, was born in 1821, and is now living in Michigan; Thomas is mentioned below; Robert is a farmer of Colchester South; Abner died at the same time as his father, and they were buried the same day.
