Unfortunately I don't know anything about the Koch line but I can tell you a little about Phoebe Trippett if this is the same person. The Phoebe Trippett I have was born about 1842 to parents Caleb Trippett (b. 1813) and Elizabeth Unknown (b. 1818). They were married 29 Jan 1867 in Wirt Co. 9 children are listed with Caleb and Elizabeth in the 1860 census for Dist #5, Monongalia, VA. They are: Phoebe, Mary Elinor, Matilda, Sarah A., Elihu, Lucy, Topliff, Martha J., and Alice. Caleb and Elizabeth are listed again in the 1880 census for Burning Springs Dist, Wirt Co, WV at ages 67 and 62 respectively. Also listed is a single daughter, Ellen, age 27. This name was not listed in the children on the 1860 census. That's about all I know about the family with the exception of Mary Elinor. My line is through her. If this was helpful and I can answer more questions, feel free to contact me.
