Frederick tudor scripps (1850-1936), the third of five children born to James Mogg and Julia osborn scripps, occupied the role of the ‘problem’ sibling in the scripps family. He never settled on a career, instead moving from one venture to another, losing money along the way. He reminded E.W. of their father who also had more enthusiasm than talent for business. In the mid-1880s, Fred ran up such large debts on the rushville farm that creditors threatened to seize the property. Ellen and her brother george bailed him out against the advice of family members who thought, “Fred will never learn his lesson at this rate.” E.W., infuriated, later accused him of using Miramar’s credit to buy supplies for his own farm. Fred, meanwhile, claimed that E.W. had undermined his ability to borrow money in san diego. In 1893, he married sarah Emma Jessop (1872-1954), daughter of Joseph and Mary Jessop of Miramar, Ca. they produced three children: thomas osborn scripps, Julia Mary scripps, and annie Jessop scripps. Joseph Jessop had a 40-acre plot adjoining the Miramar ranch at the southwest. He helped Fred to build the surr dam, completed in 1894. scripps, A Genealogical History, 46; annie to EWs, n.d., sC 27/48; EWs to EBs, May 1, 1885, sC 2/26; annie to EBs, rushville, april 10, 1885, sC 3/38; EWs to EBs, West Chester, august 27, 1892, sC 2/38; EWs to EBs, Miramar, november 4, 1892, sC 2/39; EWs to Fred, Miramar, January 25, 1916, sC 27/28; Map of scripps landholdings in Miramar ranch, Patricia a. schaelchlin/scripps Family research, denison library, scripps College (hereafter Pas/sC) 42/50; “dams Jessop Helped to Build,” San Diego Tribune, november 18, 1959.
