LIPPINCOTT FAMILY

"The family of Lippincott, it is said, took its name from Luffencott, a manor and parish at
the western extremity of the county of Devonsliire, on the borders of Cornwall, England;
which remained their property and the place of their residence from the time of King
Henry III until the second year of KingHenry V, A. D., 1414, or from 1243, or earlier to
1414. One of the family, John Lippincott, between 1430 and 1450, married Jane,
daughter and co-heir of John Wyberry, wliich brought the
estate of Wyberrys into the family, and continued their property until about 1775, when
Henry Lippincott, the last of the branch, sold it to Charles Cartcliff. There is a strong
reason to believe that the first ancestor of the, numerors family of Lippiucotts in America
was Richard Lippincott, born in Plymouth, Devonshire, England. He emigrated to
Dorchester, New England, between 1636 and 1640. In 1644 lie returned to Plymouth,
England, his native land, and about the year 1650 lie joined the new religious sect, the
Society of Friends, and suffered much therefor. On the 20th of January, 1660, at
Plymouth, he was committed to prison by Oliver Creely, mayor, and with others was
taken from a meeting house. How long he remained in prison we have no account. In
1663 he and his family left England and located themselves in Rhode Island. In 1669
he removed from Rhode Island /and settled in New Jersey, at Shrewsbury, in which
place he became a large landed proprietor. He died at Shrewsbury 25th of 9th month,
1683, and his widow, Abigail Lippincott, died 2d of 6th month, 1697. Richard, a short
time previous to his death, purchased 1,000 acres of land of John Fenwick, in
Cohausey precinct, being on the south side of Cohansey river, in Shrewsbury Neck.
Previous to the death of Abigail Lippincott, the widow of Richard, she liberated all her
slaves, which act is sufficient to perpetuate her name to the latest posterity.In the record
of the town of Freehold, N. J., mention is made of Richard Lippincott as one of the
overseers of the town of hrewsbury, in 1670. This book of records is said to be the
oldest deed book in New Jersey, it having been ommenced the 14th of 12th month,
1667. Richard and Abigail Lippincott had six sons and two daughters. Remembrance,
their eldest son, was born at Dorchester, New England, in 1641. He was baptized on
the 19th of 7th month, 1641, and died llth of 2d month, 1723. He married Margaret
Barber, of Boston; they had issue, four sons and eight daughters. He resided in Mon-
mouth county, N. J."History and genealogy of Fenwick's colony, New Jersey By

Information on Richard and Abigail Lippincott was found in the Historical Library in

Lippincott" by Judith M. Olsen.

Richard and Abigail Lippincott came from England. The name derives from Lovecott
betwen Heatherleigh and Holsworthy in the West of Devonshire England. This manow
was the property and residence of the family in the time of King Henry III in the year of
1243 until the second year of King Henry V 1414.

He came to America about 1639-1640 from Devonshire England and settled in the
Mass. Bay Colony which exhibited puritanical proclivities. The General Court of Boston
admitted him as a freeman on May 13, 1640. Later he became excommunicated and
returned to England where his son Restore was born. The name Restore means
Richard's restoration to his native land. In England he became a Quaker - was jailed a
few times for his religious beliefs. He was held in a jail near Exon or Exeter.

For about 5 years he lived in peace at Stonehouse, a suburb of Plymouth, England,
before his problems began again. He then returned to Rhode Island and then to
Shrewsbury, N. J."

disagreements with members of the church at Boston, involving conscientious

Plymouth England, where more liberty of conscience was encouraged by Cromwell. He
resided at Stonehouse for some years. He suffered imprisonment iwth other Quakers

"Richard Lippincott (1615-1683) was an English aristocrat who helped found
Shrewsbury, New Jersey.
Life
Born in Devon, England, he was descended from Ruald Adolphus de Lovecote. de
Lovecote was a Norman who was a companion of William the Conqueror.[1] Richard
Lippincott settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts Bay Colony and became a member of
the church, consequently being made a freeman on 13 May 1640. His first child, a son
was born and there and he was named Remembrance in the traditional Puritan
manner. However Lippincott soon removed to Boston where his second son John and
his eldest daughter Abigail were born. He was becoming disillusioned with New
England Puritanism and was formally excommunicated on 6 July 1651 for being
tenacious about his religious beliefs which became increasingly different from the
church doctrine. A year later he returned to England hoping to find greater religious
liberties than he did in Massachusetts Bay. He named his next child Restore in
commemoration of this event. After this he began to associate with George Fox and the
Society of Friends(Quakers)and stated debating with Fox's future wife Margaret Fell
about whether or not Christ or the Scriptures was the Word of God. Lippincott was jailed
at Plymouth, Devonshire for attesting that "Christ was the Word of God, and the
Scriptures a document of the mind of God". After his release
he found the occasion to name his next child, a son, "Freedom". Things were quiet for
awhile and during this time a daughter named Increase and a son named Jacob were
born. After this last child he was again jailed for the "faithfulness of his religious
convictions". Fortunately he was released with the help of Margaret Fell who had some
influence with Charles II. Deciding that he was treated more poorly as a Quaker in
England than he was in the New World he moved to Rhode Island were his last son
Preserved was born as Lippincott finally believed that he had found liberty in Roger
Williams' new colony. Later, he moved to New Jersey after buying patents for purchase
of which he was by far the largest shareholder. The reason given for the founding of the
patents was in order that the inhabitants could experience "free liberty of Conscience
without any molestation or disturbance whatever in the way of worship."

QUAKER BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES of Ministers and Elders, and other concerned
members of the Yearly Meeting of Philadelphia" [1682-1800] Edited by Willard Heiss
(Indianapolis: 1972) Page 85-86

"RICHARD LIPPINCOTT. Richard Lippincott, originally of Devonshire, England, was one
of the early settlers in Massachusetts, and we find him in the Second month, 1640,
residing in Dorchester, near Boston." [the article goes on for a page and a half - there
is copy of same in file] The last six paragraphs are as follows: "To return to Richard
Lippincott. Early in the year 1653, he went back to England to reside, taking with him his
wife, whose name was Abigail, and two children. Their first child he had named, after
the practice of the Puritans, Remembrance, in the recollection of the liberty he had
enjoyed on his first arrival in the western world. His second son was John, which
means the "gift" or "grace of the Lord." His third son, was born soon after his arrival in
England, he called Restore, being once more restored to the land of his forefathers. He
settled near Plymouth, and was soon convinced of the truth of the doctrine, which
George Fox was sent forth to proclaim afresh to a formal, priest-ridden people. In the
year 1655, he was imprisoned for this faithfulness to the testimony of Truth, and being
soon released, he named his fourth son, born after, Freedom. His next child was a
daughter, and in token of the enlargement of his family, he called her
Increase. His sixth child was born in 1660, and was named Jacob. Towards the close
of that year, he was imprisoned in Exeter, for having attended a meeting of Friends in
that city. A year or two after this, he returned to America with his family, and settled in
Rhode Island, where, in 1663, another daughter being added to the family circle, he, in
commemoration of the saving protecting mercy which had watched over him in his
varied trials and persecutions, called her Preserved. The English having taken
possession of "New Amsterdam" and the territories thereunto belonging, Charles the
Second granted by charter all the lands from the Delaware river to the Connecticut, to
his brother, the Duke of York. In 1665, a number of Friends of Long Island, having first
bought of the Indiana Sachems a large portion of land in what is now called New
Jersey, lying between the Raritan river and the ocean, applied for, and obtained a patent
therefor, of Nichols, governor under the Duke. When a settlement began to be made on
this tract, Richard Lippincott was induced to remove thither, where he soon became
one of the largest proprietors." Here Richard Lippincott lived an active, useful life,
surrounded by a family of children who bid fair to follow his example, performing their
religious, as well as social duties with alacrity. He was a useful member of the
religious Society of Friends, and so were several of his children, as we shall have
occasion hereafter to show. His death took place on the 25th of the Ninth month, 1683.
[Volume28 Page 388] Colonial and Revolutionary Families of Pennsylvania, Volumes
I-III Samuel Babcock Crowell Richard Lippincott was a son of Anthony Lippincott, of
county Devon, England, and a descendant in the twelfth generation from Robert de
Lughencott, who in the reign of Henry III held the Manor of Hughecott, Devonshire. He
was admitted a freeman of Dorchester, Massachusetts, May 13, 1640, and was a
member of the church there April 1, 1644, when his second son John was baptised at
the First Church of Boston. He does not seem to have been in accord with the rigid
creed of the Puritan church, and was, for some discrepancy of faith, as viewed by the
elders of the church, excluded from communion in July, 1651, and soon after that date
returned to England, where he became a member of the Society of Friends. In 1655 he
was arrested with other Friends at Plymouth, Devonshire, and confined for a time in the
castle at Exeter. He was again arrested in Plymouth in 1660 and was released at the
solicitation of Margaret Fell, who later became the wife of George Fox. In 1661 or 1662
he again sailed for America and founded an asylum from religious persecution in
Rhode Island, where in 1664 he joined in the formation at Newport for securing title
from the Indians and the Dutch uthorities at New York to a large tract of land in New
Jersey, and was the largest contributor of funds for that purpose. The purchase of the
land from the Indian sachem Popona was consummated April 3, 1665, and the title
confirmed the following day by patent from Governor Richard Nichols, of New York. By
the terms of this patent the settlers were to have "free liberty of conscience, without any
molestation or disturbance whatever, in their way of worship." Richard Lippincott settled
at Shrewsbury, Monmouth county, and was a representative in the first Provincial
Assembly of the Province organized in 1667, and again in 1668. He was made one of
the judges of the first court, in 1670; was again in the Assembly in 1677; and was
coroner of Monmouth county, 1681-83. He was one of the founders of Shrewsbury
Friends Meeting, and prominent in all the concerns of the pioneer settlement in East
Jersey. He died at Shrewsbury, November 26, 1683. He and his wife Abigail had eight
children, two born at Dorchester, and one at Boston, Massachusetts, four at Plymouth,
England, and one in Rhode Island."

ANCESTRY LIPPINCOTT FAMILY SEVENTEENTH & EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES
A Digest of a Manuscript by C. Tharp

"The name of Lippincott is one of the oldest English surnames of local origin, having
been traced back to the "Lovecote" of the Doomesday Book of William the Conqueror,
compiled in 1080. Without listing various families it is noted that the name is highly
regarded in England and numerous coat-of arms bestowed upon gentlemen of that
name, some as early as the 15th century. In one branch of the Devonshire Lippincotts
the name appears to have gone through the transformation of Leppingote,
Leppingcotte, Leppyncott, and Lippincott, and according to the latest authorities it is
from this branch that the American Lippincotts are descended, although the earlier
authorities favor one of the other lines.

Richard Lippincott, the founder of the family in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, although
belonging to a branch of the family of his contemporaries and fellow believers of too
mild and peaceable a disposition to be either happy or contented amidst the conditions
that prevailed in England during the latter years of the reign of Charles I, in
consequence associated himself at an early date with the settlers of the colony of
Massachusetts Bay, and taking up his residence at Dorchester he became a member
of the church there, and April 1, 1640 was chosen to one of the town offices, being
made freeman by the court of Boston, May 13, 1640. Here his eldest son was born and
was baptized September 1641. A few years later, however, he removed to Boston where
his second son and eldest daughter was born and there baptized entered on the
records of the First Church at Boston; in the entry of the son the father being noted as "a
member of the church at Dorchester." This baptism was November 10, 1644. Even New
England Puritanism, however, was of to militant a character for Richard Lippincott, and
he began to differ more and more from his brethren of the church in regard to some of
their religious doctrines, and so tenacious of his opinion was he that on July 6, 1651,
he was formally excommunicated. About a year later, in 1652, Richard Lippincott
returned to England in the hope that under the Commonwealth he might find a greater
degree of religious liberty than was obtainable among his fellow-colonists in
Massachusetts. That to some extent at least his hopes were gratified seems evident
from the name of his third son, Restore or Restored, who was born at Plymount,
England, in the following year, 1652, as there can be no doubt that he received his
name in commemoration of his father's restoration to his native land and to the
communion of more congenial spirits. Just what Richard Lippincott's religious views at
the time were can only be a matter of conjecture, but they evidently harmonized more or
less with those of George Fox and his adherents as became a member of the Society
of Friends, and soon after his profession of faith became a partaker with his fellow
believers in their suffering for their principles and in the persecutions to which they were
subjected. In February, 1655 while he was residing at Plymounth, Devonshire, the
mayor of that town caused his arrest and imprisonment in the town jail near the castle
of Exeter, his offense being it would appear that he had made the assertion that "Christ
was the word of God and the scriptures a declaration of the mind of God." Several
months, later, in May, 1655, according to Sewell's History of the Quakers, he, with
others, testified against the acts of the mayor and the falsehood of the charges brought
against them. In commemoration of this release from imprisonment he named his next
son, born that same year, Freedom. The following few years seem to have been
comparatively quite ones with him, the only noteworthy event in his life being his making
of a home for himself and family at Stonehouse, near Plymount, and the birth of his
daughter, Increase in 1657, and of his son Jacob in 1660. In this last mentioned year
he was again imprisoned by the mayor of Plymouth for his faithfulness to his religious
convictions, being arrested by the officers at and taken from a meeting of Friends in that
city. His release was brought by the solicitation of Margaret Fell and others whose
efforts in behalf of imprisoned Friends were so influential with the newly restored King
Charles II as to obtain the liberation of many. In comparison with this treatment in
Boston, Richard Lippincott experienced in Plymouth were such that he at lenght
determined to make another trial of the new world, and once more bidding farewell to
his native land he sailed again for New England in 1661 or 1662, and took up his
residence in Rhode Island, which he found to be a Baptist colony very tolerent of various
forms of belief. Here his youngest son, Preserved, was born in 1663, and received his
name in commemoration of his father's preservation from persecution and from the
perils of the deep. It is a curious fact that, omitting the name of his third child, Abigail
Lippincott, taken in the order of their birth, from the words of a prayer, which needs only
the addition of another son, called Israel, to be complete, thus Remember John,
Restore Freedom, Increase Jacob, and Preserve (Israel). Whether this arrangement
was accidental or due to a premeditated design cannot be determined; it is probably a
coincidence, as although in strict accordance with the ways in fashion among the
Puritans of that day, so complete an arrangement as this is extremely rare. In the
Rhode Island colony each of the settlements was at first regarded as an independent
establishment; but in 1642 it was determined to seek a patent from England, and
Roger Williams having gone to the mother country for that purpose, obtained in 1644
through the influence of the Earl of Warwick, a charter from Parliament uniting
settlements as the "Incorporation of Providence plantations in the Narragansett Bay* in
New England." Complete religious toleration was granted together with the largest
measure of political freedom, but owing to jealousies and exaggerated ideas of
individual importance, the settlement did not become really united until 1654 and it was
nine years later that they sough and obtained a charter of "Rhode Island and the
Providence plantations." from King Charles II, which served as the constitution of the
colony and state down to 1843. In the following year, 1664, the Dutch Colony of New
Netherland came into the possession of the English, and the next year, 1665, an
association was formed at Newport, Rhode Island, to purchase lands from the Indians,
and a patent was granted to them, This movement has been initiated by people of
Gravesend, Long Island, but the residents of Newport were considerably in the majority
and the success of the movement is mainly due to them and to their efforts in raising
the greater part of the money to pay the Indians for their land and in inducing persons to
settle on it. Of the eighty-three Newport subscribers who contributed towards buying the
Monmouth county, New Jersey, land from the Indians and towards defraying the
incidental expenses in treating with the natives, Richard Lippincott gave by far the
largest subscription, L16 10 shillings, which was more than twice that of any other
contributor except Richard Borden, whose amount was L11, 10 shillings. *
Narragansett Bay, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in the SE part of Rhode Island. The first
deed from the Indians is dated March 25, 1665, and is for the lands at Nevesink, from
the sachem Popomora and his brother Mishacoing to James Huddard, John Bowne,
John Tilton, junior, Richard Stout, William Goulding and Samuel Spicer, for and on
behalf of the other subscribers. April 7, 1665, Popmora and his brother went over to
New York and acknowledged the deed before Governor Nicolls, and the official copy is
in the office of the secretary of state, New York, liber 3, page 1. Another copy is
preserved in the records of the proprietors of East Jersey at Perth Amboy, where there
is also a map of the land embraced in the purchase, while still a third copy may be
found in the office of the secretary of state at Trenton. Two other deeds followed and on
April 8, 1665, Governor Nicolls signed the noted Monmouth patent, one of the
conditions of which was "that the said Patentees and their
associates,, their heirs or assigns, shall within the space of three years, beginning
from the day of the date hereof, manure and plant the aforesaid land and premises and
settle there one hundred families a least." The reason for the founding of the Monmouth
settlements is given in the patent as the establishment of "free liberty of Conscience
without any molestation or disturbance whatever in the way of worship." In accordence
with the terms of this patent, Richard Lippincott and his family removed from Rhode
Island to Shrewsbury, New Jersey, among the earliest settlers of the place. With him
went also a number of other members of the Society of Friends and they at once
formed themselves into the Shrewsbury Meeting, which for a long time met at Richard
Lippincott's house. He himelf was one of the most prominent in all public matters. In
1667 the inhabitants of Middletown, Shrewsbury and other settlements included under
the Monmouth patent, found themselves so far advanced, with dwellings erected and
lands cleared that they had opportunity to take measures to establish a local
government. Their grant from Nicolls authorized them to "pass such prudential laws as
they deemed advisable" and as early as June, 1667, they held an assembly for that
purpose at Portland Point, now called Highlands. On December 14 following another
assembly was held at Shrewsbury; and although Governor Carteret and his council
considered these assemblies as irregular they are nevertheless the first legislative
bodies that ever met in New Jersey. This "General Assembly of the Patentees and
Deputies" continued to meet for many years and its original proceedings are still
preserved. In 1669 Richard Lippincott was elected a member of the governor's council
as one of the representatives from Shrewsbury, but being unwilling to take the oath of
allegiance unless it contained a proviso guaranteeing the patent rights of the
Monmouth towns he was not allowed to take his seat. In the following year, 1670, he
was elected by the town as an associate patentee, one of the "five or seven other
persons of the ablest and discreetest od said inhabitants" who joined with the original
patentees formed the assembly above mentioned, wyhich according to Nicoll's patent
had full power "to make such peculiar and prudential laws and constitutions amongst
the inhabitants for the better and orderly governing of them," as well as "liberty to try all
causes and actions of debt and trespass arising amongst the inhabitants to the value
of L10." In 1667 the governo 's council passed a law providing that any town sending
deputies who "refused on their arrival to take the necessary oaths," shall be liable to a
fine of L10; consequently Richard Lippincott who was chosen to represent his town in
1667, did not attend, and as a result the council passed another act fining any member
who absented himself, ten shilling for each day's absence. In 1670 the first meeting for
worship was established by the Friends; and in 1672 this was visited by George Fox
who was entertained during his stay by Richard Lippincott. His residence was on
Passequeneiqua creek, a branch of the South Shrewsbury river, three-fourths of a mile
northeast of the house of his son-in-law, Samuel Dennis which stood three-fourths of a
mile east of the town of Shrewsbury. Soon after this Richard Lippincott made another
voyage to England, where he was in 1675 when John Fenwick was prepared to remove
to West Jersey; and on August 9, 1676, he obtained from Fenwick a patent for one
thousand acres in his colony, which he probably purchased as a land speculation
since neither he nor his children ever occupied any part of it. May 21, 1679, Richard
Lippincott divided this plantation into five equal parts, giving to each of his sons a two
hundred acre tract. Having at length found a fixed place of residence where he could live
in peace and prosperity, Richard Lippincott settled down to "an active and useful life in
the midst of a worthy family, in the possession of a sufficient estate, and happy in the
enjoyment of religious, and political freedom." Here he passed the last eighteen years
of his life of varied experiences, and here he died November 25, 1683. Two days before
his death Richard Lippincott made his will and acknowledged it before Joseph Parker,
justice of the peace, January 2, following his administratrix, her fellow bondsman being
her son's father-in-law, William Shattock, and Francis Borden. There seems, however,
to have been some irregularity in the will or its provisions, particularly in omitting
mention of an exuctor; for on the day when the widow gave her bond, Governor Thomas
Rudyard issued a warrant or commission to Joseph Parker, John Hans (Hance)and
Eliakim Wardell "or any two of them, to examine Abigail, the widow of Richard Lippincott,
as to her knowledge of any other last will made by her husband." An endorsement on
the will, dated May 21, 1681, states that the "said Abigail has no knowledge of any other
will and that she will faithfully administer the estate." The inventory of the personal
estate, L428, 2 shilling, including debts due L30, and negro slaves L60, was made by
Eliakim Wardell, William Shattock, Francis Borden and Joseph Parker. The Dutch
proprietors of New Amsterdam had long been engaged in the slave trade and at the
surrender to the English in 1664 the colony contained many slaves some of whom
were owned by Friends. As early as 1652 members of this society at Warwick, Rhode
Island, passed a law requiring all slaves to be liberated after ten years service, as was
the manner with the English servants, who however, had to serve but four years. In
1683 the court at Shrewsbury passed a law against trading in slaves. These are the
earliest known instances of legislation in behalf of negro emancipation. Richard
Lippincott was owner of a number of slaves; and in her will, dated June 28, 1697, and
approved August 7 following, his widow, Abigail Lippincott, frees most of them besides
leaving to her children and grand children much real estate and considerable bequests
in money. The children of Richard and Abigail Lippincott were Remembrance, John,
Abigail, Restore, Freedom, Increase, Jacob, and Presevered. Rememberance and
John remained in Monmouth County, where they have numerous descendants; Restore
and Freedom settled in Burlington County also leaving numerous descendants. Abigail
and Preserver died in infancy and Jacob left no descendants. 1. Remembrance
Lippincott the eldest son of Richard and Abigail Lippincott. lived at Shrewsbury,
married Margaret Barber, of Boston, and died in 1722, aged eighty-two years. He was
prominent in colonial affairs, a bitter opponent of George Keith, and clerk of the monthly
and quarterly meeting of Friends at Shrewsbury. His children, four of whom died in
infancy, were Joseph, Elizabeth, Abigail, Richard, Elizabeth again, Joseph, William.
Abigail again, Sarah, Ruth, Mary, and Grace. His descendants through is sons Richard
and William are numerous, and many descendants of Samuel, son of William, now
resides in Pittsburg and other western cities. 2. John Lippincott "yeoman of
Shrewsbury," second son of Richard and Abigail Lippincott, married first Ann Barber,
and on her death in 1707 he married Jeannette Austin, and died in 1720. The eight
children borne by his first wife were John, Robert, Preserved, Mary, Ann, Margaret,
Robert and Deborah. Their descendants are now found chiefly in Monmouth county,
New Jersey, Green county, Pennsylvania, and New York City. 3. Abigail Lippincott, born
January 17, 1646, died March 9, 1646. 4. Restore Lippincott is treated below.
5. Freedom Lippincott the fifth child and fourth son of Richard and Abigail married Mary
Curtis, of Burlington, as the following certificate from Book A, "Burlington Meeting
Records," shows: "Burlington, ye 14 of 8th mo., 1680"
"These are to certifie whom it may concerne that Freedom Lippincott, of Shrewsbury,
and Mary Curtis of Burlington, hath declared their Intentions of Marriage at two general
Monthly Meetings heare, & after ye consideration and consent of ffriends and relations
they weare Joyned in marriage at a Publique Meeting in Burlington, ye day and yeare
above written, in ye presence of us." The names of the witnesses number twenty-one.
Early after his marriage Freedom purchased lands on the Rancocas Creek near
Bridgeboro', where he settled. He died in 1697, aged thirty-seven, leaving five children,
Samuel, Thomas, Judith, Mary and Freedom. Samuel, the eldest son of Freedom and
Mary Lippincott, had two son, Jacob H. and Samuel who had large family, they being
prominent in Evesham, Burlington County, N. J. Thomas Lippincott, second son of
Freedom, an active and useful citizen, in 1711 purchased one thousand and thirty four
acres of land lying in present townships of Chester and Cinnaminson; has also
numberous descendants, as Rev. Thomas Lippincott of Illinois, his son, War of the
Rebellion General Charles E. Lippincott, politician and editor, California Senator during
his residence in that state, and one time auditor in Illinois, now banker at Chandlerville,
Illinois. James I. Lippincott, of Haddonfield, N. J. editor of the American revised edition
of "Chambers' Encyclopaedia,"and author and genealogist, who is now engaged in
writing a complete history of the Lippincott family. Many many more renouned
descenants are named not least of which is Charles Lippincott of Cinnaminson,
Burlington County, N. J., the originator and publisher of the Lippincott family, which
contains more than ten thousand Lippincotts, At the end of the nineteenth century it is
stated that "undoubtedly the most numerous family in New Jersey is the Lippincotts and
perhaps an exception of that of Haines, whose maternal ancestors were in many
instances Lippincotts." It was further noted that the family is found in nearly every part of
the United States and parts of Canada. The youngest son of Freedom and Mary
Lippincott, Freedom also settled in Evesham and had ten children; the descendants of
but few reside in Burlington County, N. J. Of the sons, Solomon and Samuel settled in
Gloucester County, 6.Increase Lippincott born in 1657 at the family home "Stonehouse",
near Plymouth, England. Increase married Samuel Dennis. They established their
home three-fourth of a mile east of Shrewsbury and three-fourth of a mile southwest of
her father. Being among the earlest settlers of Monmouth County, New Jersey. 7.Jacob
Lippincott settled in Gloucester County, N. J. but left no family, his children dying in
infancy. 8. Preserved Lippincott the youngest son of Richard and Abigail Lippincott was
born in 1663 in Rhode Island and died in infancy. His birth occurred the year following
his parents return to New England after the family's 10 years residence at and near
Plymouth, England. 4. Restore Lippincott is in the line of ancestry through his daughter
Rebecca Lippincott and it is with him and his family we take greater interest. Restore,
the third son of Richard, was a member of the Council of New Jersey several years, and
an active public-spirited citizen, who was much respected for his regard for truth and
justice. In 1692 he bought five hundred and seventy acres of land in Northampton
Township of Burlington County, N. J. upon which he settled, and in 1698 he, in company
with John Garwood, purchased two thousand acres of land near Pemberton. Restore
Lippincott married Hannah Shattock daughter of William Shattock, of Boston, in 1673-4
by whom he had nine children all of whom lived to marry except one daughter. His
second wife was Martha (Shinn) Owens, by whom he had no issue. Thomas Chalkley,
and eminent Friend, in his journal states that he was present at the funeral of Restore
Lippincott, at Mount Holly, in 1741, and was informed that "Restore left behind him
nearly two hundred children, granchildren, and great-grandchildren." Among the very
numerous descendants of Restore may be mentioned James, of Mount Holly, a
surveyor and conveyancer, well known throughout the county for his large experience
and ability in settling estates, who owns part of the old homestead farm of his
grandfather, Arney Lippincott, near Pemberton: the Rev. Caleb A., his brother, who was
a distinguished Methodist minister; Morgan and William G., retired farmers at Mount
Holly; Charles, of Burlington; Stacy B. James, Wilkins, Joshua, Joseph, and many other
thriving farmers near Mount Holly; also Crispin, of Vincentown, father of the Rev,
Benjamin C., an able Methodist divine, and Rev. Joshua A., now Professor of
Mathematics at Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa.; Albertson C. and Freedom W., of
Evesham, influential and successful farmers; Judge Benjamin H., of Moorestown, and
many others. It is proper to state J. B. Lippincott, the celebrated publisher of
Philadelphia, is a direct descendant from Richard and Abigail, through Restore 's son
James, and his fourth son Jonathan. Among the children of Restore and Hannah
Shattock Lippincott is: Jacob Lippincott who married Mary Burr in 1716, -- much is
reported of Jacob and his son Restore of Gloucester County, N. J. His. Soc. Bulletin
