Selden Nelson, in The Tipton Family of Tennessee, has this to say; "The Tipton family claims its origin in Scotland. In the seventheenth century some of the Tipton went to England and there established a town known today as Tipton, but the American ancestor went to Ireland, where the progenitor the Tennessee family was born in the early part of the eighteenth century in or near the city of Cork, and was, therefore, in a sence an Irishman. There is a family tradition that Jonathan and William Tipton with other brothers took passage in a ship bound for America; that this ship was attacked on the high seas by vessels of some of the American Colonies under the impression that it was a pirate ship and that before the mistake was discovered the brothers were Killed except Jonathan and William."
This writer has been unable to find any records in Ireland to establish this. But as for the ship being mistaken for a pirate ship, this is feasible because there was a great deal of piracy going on those day, and most of it centered around Jamaica.

The brief obituary of Jonathan TIPTON (1639-1757) appearing in the Maryland Gazette, cited below, shows that he was born in Jamaica. From this fact we infer that his father, Edward Tipton was residing there in 1639 and probably before, for this was the year in which Jonathan was born. It is likely that the arrival of Edward, Samuel, and Joseph on these shores matched fairly closely the declining years of their father -- Samuel Tipton of Bristol, England about 1677. This date is indicated by the suit January 1, 1664 in which Mr. Edward Tipton and Mr. W. M. Downing are mentioned as having had a sloop and rigging belonging to John Roach for a period of seven years. Jamaica had been an important port in English trade - rum, sugar, and molassas being the most important items in commerce. It is likely that Edward had gone there to see after his father's interests. This was a time when the English were swarming. England offered but limited opportunities - oversees adventure called the English youth.
JONATHAN TIPTON (1639-1757)
The earliest record on Jonathan Tipton is supplied by the last -- obituary. From this source, an insertion in the Maryland Gazette of January 27, 1757, we learn teh date of his birth in Jamaica and the further fact that he left there when young and lived most of his adult life in Maryland. It is suspected that he spent some time among kindsmen in Northumberland Co., VA and went to Maryland on the invitation of his brother in law, William Pearce of Anne Arundel Co., MD. Jonathan Tipton was a witness to the will of Robert Goldsborough in Anne Arundel Co., VA on November 23, 1700. It is believed that he was resident in that county prior to 1700 because in 1719 William Pearce, brother in law of Jonathan Tipton, made his will naming "Thomas and William Tipton, my loving nephews" (sons of Jonathan) was overseers of his will. Thomas Tipton, son of Jonathan and his wife Sarah (Pearce) Tipton was born April 4, 1693 as is shown in the records of St. James Parish on Herring Creek. This Thomas Tipton was the oldest of three sons all of whom were baptized on April 25, 1699. This information indicates that Jonathan Tipton was a Maryland resident not later then 1698.
Jonathan Tipton, like so many of his contemporaries, was a land fancier. It is not possible to set down a record showing the sequence of his patents without making a careful survey of the records in the patent office in Annapolis, MD. By or before 1699 he was residing in Anne Arundel Co., MD about three miles southeast of Londontown. This community no longer exists. It is known that he acquired a tract called Salseas which was first granted in July 1695 to Richard Thornburg. By or before August 1, 1714, he was established on the "drifts of the Patapsco" River in Baltimore County. This tract was named Port Royal. By January 22, 1716 he had pieced together a tract of 929 acres, called "ye Jamaica man's Plague", on the north side of Patapsco River which adjoined his Salsea tract. By 1728 Jonathan Tipton had acquired 235 acres and by 1731 an additional 50 acres which he called Tipton's Puzzle. This parcel became the dwelling plantation of Jonathan Tipton in his later years. He was residing on this parcel in 1745 at which time he was ages 106!
(Patents and grnants in Maryland usually bore semi-humorus names assigned by their owners. These designations were accepted and entered in official land records.)Maryland Gazett, January 27, 1757
"We are informed that the beginning of this month, died in Baltimore Co., MD, Mr. Jonathan Tipton aged 118 years. He was born in Kingston, Jamaica, which place he left while young, and lived almost ever since in this province, and had his perfect senses to the last, especially a remarkable strength of memory. His youngest sons are reckoned among the oldest men in Baltimore Co."
Jonathan Tipton must have been a man of enormous energy and most resolute purpose. He engaged in land transactions at a time when most men would have been content to sit in the chimney corner. His last land acquisition seems to have been in 1731 at which time he was ninty-two. He gave a parcel of land called Tipton's Puzzle to his grandson, William, in 1745, he then being 106 years old. On the death of William, his second son, he undertook and carried out the administration of the estate in 1726; he was then aged 87. There seems to be no firm evidence that he had any children by his second marriage.
