Isaac Tripp
(27 Jul 1743 - 28 May 1807)

He and his son Stephen built the first grist mill on Leggett's creek, and Isaac Dow Tripp was one of the wealthiest men in the valley. He was a large land owner in the early settlement of Providence, Pennsylvania, and was active in its material development. Isaac Dow Tripp, son of Isaac Tripp, the Immigrant, settled in the Lackawanna Valley about 1774 and took up a tract of land of about a thousand acres, upon a part of which the central portion of the city of Scranton now stands.
