This researcher has not been able to confirm a gravesite location for John Wesley Rippey. Given the location of the Rippey property, purchased from William Noah Combs on Sep. 3, 1869, the Cedar Lane-Easter Cemetery is a possible final resting spot. There are a large number of unknown graves there, marked only by flagstones. Other possible locations of interment include the family's farm/property and the nearby Flower Gap Primitive Baptist Church.
John Wesley Rippey spent most of his life in Orange/Alamance Co., NC, before moving to Carroll Co., VA, in late 1867 or early 1868. He arrived with his second wife, Mary A. (Albert) Rippey; their six children (ranging in age from 4 to 12); two adult daughters (Eliza and Cornelia) from his first marriage to Catherine McAdams; and one granddaughter, Martitia Angeline Adams. His stepdaughter, Margaret A. Underwood Morris (second wife's daughter from her first marriage to Johnston Underwood) soon followed, arriving in Carroll Co. before 1880.
