- Dan Dalrymple's Family Tree.
. Year: Early 1700s. Place: Northern New Jersey. According to the oral tradition of the Morris County, New Jersey Dalrymple descendants, which has been passed from one generation to the next.
Andrew Dalrymple the progenitor of this family, together with two brothers, came from "Dunamoy" in Scotland. Andrew settled in Morris County where he purchased 1000 acres in Center Grove, extending to Walnut Grove (now Mt. Freedom). Above text is from Althea F. Courtot's "Some Descendants of Andrew Dalrymple from Morris County, New Jersey." We, the descendants of Andrew, are still searching for his origin.
- Since there seems to be no town called Dunamoy in Scotland we are thinking that it was possibly Donoughmore, North Ireland although two different Dalrymple histories are now pointing to Glasgow, Scotland. My cousin, Janice, has visited Scotland several times searching for this answer. Fact is . . . we still don't know the true origin of Andrew and his two brothers. Dan Dalrymple.
- Sailing old Cal Yachts homepage
This page is dedicated to Bill Lapworth, one of the greatest yacht designers in the world. Jack Jensen started Cal Yachts and Jensen Marine in 1959. The Cal 40, designed by Lapworth in 1963, revolutionized offshore sailing. The Cal 40 was super fast, comfortable, and "Oh My!, The rudder isn't attached securely to the keel! Wow, it isn't attached to ANYTHING!"
