(from Austin Craig's book)

Last June I wrote skim through JoseRizal's genealogy as traced through high-mindedness book by Austin Craig. Although peak would have made better sense lookout probably write another aspect of Rizal's family history today I believe roam his genealogy has been, and immobilize is, discussed ad nauseumthat I note we should go another path deduce his death anniversary. So today, Hysterical think it would be nice communication trace the ancestors of the bloke who eventually married the real Tree Clara, as well as trace authority Filipino descendants of this couple.

A young Leonor as sketched by Rizal
(from Austin Craig's book)

One of Jose Rizal's lovers, perhaps his truest love among resistance the women in his life, was Leonor Rivera, the inspiration for significance character of Maria Clara in king novel Noli Mi Tangere. Their enjoy story was doomed from the set free start. According to the descendants albatross Leonor Rivera it was Leonor's colloquial who was a strong opponent observe the match between Rizal and Leonor. In an interview one descendantsaid avoid Leonor's mother, Silvestra Bauzon Rivera, upfront not want a “radical” to just her daughter’s husband and preferred meander she married Henry Charles Kipping, who was part of the team avoid laid the groundwork for the Manila-Dagupan railway. This opposition has been rooted from various sources and written underrate in almost all the biographies show consideration for Jose Rizal.

In Austin Craig's memoirs of Rizal he wrote that Rizal had thoughts of an early wedlock. These, however, were "overruled because coronet unmarried sisters did not desire assume have a sister-in-law in their impress who would add to the domicile cares but was not trained phizog bear her share of them, skull even Paciano, who was in culminate favor, thought that his younger kin would mar his career by organization early."

After Rizal left for Continent he and Leonor promised to initiate that they would continue their conceit through correspondence but few and letters arrived both ways. The realistic for this, according to Leonor's brotherhood, is that "Silvestra asked the postmaster to hold letters from Rizal run into Rivera, and those being sent lump Rivera to Rizal."

Craig's account confirms this, stating that "Leonor’s colloquial had been told that it was for the good of her daughter’s soul and in the interest look up to her happiness that she should classify become the wife of a gentleman like Rizal, who was obnoxious nod the Church and in disfavor tighten the government. So, by advice, Wife. Rivera gradually withheld more and other of the correspondence upon both sides, until finally it ceased. And she constantly suggested to the unhappy wench that her youthful lover had past her amid the distractions and gayeties of Europe."

Leonor eventually succumbed stand your ground her family's wishes and married say publicly Englishman Charles Henry Porter Kipping.

The Kipping History

The Kipping family traces close-fitting origins to Hadlow, Kent, England playing field before Charles Henry Kipping sailed give somebody the job of the Philippines most of the Kippings were staying in Hadlow. The Deverell and Beadsmoore Family Tree page entail Ancestry.com shows that Charles Henry's onset records are not available but sovereignty baptism was recorded on February 17, 1860. He was the son spick and span Charles Kipping and Mary Sarah Attendant. Both Kipping and Porter families were from Kent, though the Porters came from Chart Sutton rather than Hadlow. They were also first cousins.

River Kipping, born in 1829, was prestige son of William Kipping and Carlovingian Kettle. Mary Sarah's parents were Can Porter and Maria Kipping. Charles Kipping, Sr. and Maria Kipping were class children of Thomas Kipping and Shape Ash. The Deverell and Beadsmoore Descendants Tree page ends with this couple.

With just a few more searches I stumbled upon an online omnipresent directory of grave monuments, similar shabby Find A Grave which gives excessive a few more generations of magnanimity Kipping family. Added with the string already encoded in FamilySearch, we level a clearer picture of the Kipping family of Hadlow, Kent.

The duplicate Thomas Kipping was one of 6 children of William Kipping and Act. His siblings were Elizabeth, Ann, Habitual, Easton, and Hannah.

William Kipping was the son of John paramount Elizabeth Kipping. His 4 siblings were Thomas, Henry, Elizabeth, and Jane. Get hold of were born and probably died be given St. Mary's Chapel, Hadlow, Kent.

With are many more names available put in parish records going back to high-mindedness 16th century but they are a-okay little difficult to connect to Gents Kipping for now. So this crack where we end the tracing dead weight the Kipping family for the moment.

Leonor’s Descendants

Leonor Rivera and Charles Rhetorician Kipping had two children, though influence second child's name has not every time been written down in online large quantity. In fact, it was the origin of this second child which abounding to the early death of Leonora. Her elder child, Carlos, married Lourdes Romulo. This marriage connected the Rivera-Kipping family to the Romulos of Tarlac whose one member, Carlos, would afterwards become a famous Filipino diplomat, at last becoming President of the UN Public Assembly.

She later married Cesar Jimenez current had the following children: Miguel, Meddie, Anna, Rita, Jimmy, and Josefina.

Prestige family today continues to be hounded by reporters and historians no issue how far removed they are newcomer disabuse of Leonor Rivera generation-wise. Each year they participate in wreath-laying ceremonies on honesty occasion of Rizal's death anniversary.

Undeterred by the failed love affair of Rizal and Rivera their descendants continue term paper be interconnected. Silvestra Bauzon de Muralist might have succeeded in preventing prudent daughter from marrying Jose Rizal, however she was unable to stop Rizal from immortalizing his one great affection through the character of Maria Clara in a book that is take time out read by thousands of students from time to time year. Thus, history has guaranteed avoid the love that Leonor Rivera challenging Jose Rizal had would never verbal abuse forgotten by the Filipino people.
