Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 606:
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.
Thomas Lypps was born in Colchester South, Sept. 1, 1827, and grew to manhood on the old farm, where he remained until 1890, when he located in Amherstburg, although he still retains the old farm on Lots 84 and 85, on the Gore Road. Since locating in the town he has lived retired from active pursuits. In 1850 Mr. Lypps married Miss Janet Anderson, daughter of John and Mary (Brock) Anderson, and granddaughter of John Anderson, Sr. She was born in Scotland, June 10, 1828, and in 1835 came to Ontario, locating in Malden township, County of Essex, where the father followed farming and died at the age of ninety years, about 1875. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were: Agnes, deceased; John deceased; Margaret, widow of Wheeler Brush; Mrs. Lypps; and Robert, deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Lypps have no children. They are members of the Presbyterian Church. In politics Mr. Lypps is a Conservative, and is justly numbered among the responsible and representative men of the community in which he now makes his home.
