John Tipton was born on August 15, 1730 in St. Paul's Parish, Baltimore County, MD. Although John Tipton was a captain in Lord Dunmore's, he was best known as Col. John Tipton during his service as a militia colonel in what then was Washington County, NC which later became TN. In the rank of Lieutenant he was also in charge of the Shenandoah County, VA militia during the Revolutionary War. He served in the legislatures of three states: the Virginia House of Delegates in 1776 and 1778-1781; North Carolina General Assembly as senator and representative, 1786-1787, and Tennessee State Senate 1796-1799, and was a key figure in the battle over the lost state of Franklin. He died in August 1813 and was buried on Sinking Creek, Washington County, TN.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
