Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=5149 Surname: Hipps ------------------------- I am inquiring about the Jacob and George Hipps. I have found records in Burke County North Carolina about a Jacob and George Hipps who recieved land grants in Burke County. Jacob received 50 acres in 1779 and George received 40 acres on 5-24-1861. Is there any connection? Trying to trace my family tree and have hit a wall any help appreciated.
