[Bourbon County] [Clintonville Precinct] JOHN STIPP, farmer, P. O. Clintonville. The ancestors of Mr. Stipp, like those of many others of the section of Kentucky were Virginians. His grandfather was Michael Stipp; his father was Frederick Stipp, who emigrated from Virginia and settled near Strode's Station, in Clark County, at quite an early day, where he married Mary, the daughter of William Clinkinbeard. On April 22, 1817, their son John was born. Receiving the rudiments of a common education, he began life as a farmer, which pursuit he still follows with gratifying success. He now owns 104 acres of good land, having given to each of his children 70 acres. Mr. Stipp was united in marriage with Miss Martha Schooler, daughter of Benj. Schooler, of Clark, in 1834, by whom he has had four children: Wm. C., Isaac, Benjamin, and Mary C., now the wife of H. C. Weathers. He is a Deacon and leading member of the Clintonville Christian Church. In politics he affiliates with the Democrats.
