I have never found the material that Harold Bolles wife sent me years ago. As I recall it was 5 Rippy brothers who came to Laclede Co Mo area. She is now decd and my cousin is remarried. Would you like his home address to write him? He has a married dau who lives in KS but I dont know her maiden name. She could be interested in genealogy? Or if you like I will write him and ask what he knows. they were married for many years. Also cant remember if I checked the Laclede Co Mo history book which I have for Rippee/Rippy. there is one reference to Rippee, Rippy has 13 refrences-did I look those up for you?
