(May have been brothers, but no proof exists other than a tradition among
some descendants of Stephen Hipp, Sr. that three brothers immigrated from
Germany and landed in the North. They stayed there for several years;
then one or two brothers came to the South. It is known that a George
Hipp - his descendants known as the "Dutch Fork Hipps" - about the same
age as Stephen Hipp, Sr. lived in the Newberry District of South
Carolina, and that many of Stephen's sons relocated from Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina to the Newberry District.)
