{"product_id":"the-kipps-family-of-virginia-kenneth-lee-dabbs-9798186740438","title":"The Kipps Family of Virginia Volume 2","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe Kipps Family in Virginia, Volume 2\u003c\/b\u003e is a richly documented family history that follows the Michael Kipps branch from its German immigrant origins through Revolutionary War service, settlement in Montgomery County, and a lasting legacy in the Blacksburg, Virginia community. Centered on Michael Kipps, brother of Jacob Kipps from Volume 1, this volume traces how the family moved from the Shenandoah Valley into southwestern Virginia, where land, marriage, military service, faith, education, and memory shaped generations of descendants.\u003cbr\u003eReaders will find more than a list of names and dates. The book combines genealogy with narrative storytelling, showing how the Kipps family became connected to allied families including the Linkous, Hinegardner, Olinger, Bowers, Price, Knopp, Cook, and McDonald lines. It explores Michael Kipps's Revolutionary War service, his marriage to Catharine Mullenberger, his Montgomery County landholding, his will, his children, and the family's deep ties to the Linkous-Kipps Homestead and nearby cemetery.\u003cbr\u003eA major theme of the book is preservation: preserving records, family Bible materials, deeds, wills, cemetery evidence, pension documents, DNA connections, and the stories handed down through generations. The volume also highlights the educational legacy of Mae and Florence Kipps, the enduring presence of the Kipps name in Blacksburg, and the later reunion of the Jacob and Michael Kipps family lines through marriage.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is ideal for Kipps descendants, family historians, genealogists, SAR and DAR researchers, and readers interested in German immigration, Revolutionary War lineage, Virginia settlement, Shenandoah Valley families, Montgomery County history, and the ways family memory is carried forward. It is both a tribute to one family's ancestors and a useful resource for future generations seeking to understand their roots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth Lee Dabbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798186740438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Kenneth Lee Dabbs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997934694655,"sku":"9798186740438","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-kipps-family-of-virginia-kenneth-lee-dabbs-9798186740438","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
