• Notes

  [lippincott.FTW] Residences: Springfield, Twp, Burl. Co., NJ Occupation: Yoeman Remembrance Lippincott, the eldest of the children was born in Dorcester, in the MA Bay Colony, where he was baptized Sept 19, 1641. Crossing the ocean with his parents about 10 years later, living anoither decade and as he reached man's estate, became a resident of Rhode Island. Again a few years later, he joined the family final hegira, and settled permanently at Shrewsbury, in East New Jersey, he being then about 25 years of age. Of him a biographer has said that he "became there a prominent and useful citizen". He was a farmer and a large land owner and served in several public employments. In the Friend of August 25, 1855, there is a memorial of Remembrance Lippincott, which erroneously gives the date of his birth as the "15th of the Ninth month, 1650. It is set forth: His parents being convinced soon after his birth, of the truth of the principles led by the people called Quakers, he was brought under the restraints which the faithful members of that society endevoured to exercise on their childen. When George Keith endevoured to lead astray the society of which he had long been an advocate, his sophistries were plied with the most success in East Jersey, where John Barclay, father of his old Friend Robert, lent his influence to sustain him. It seemed for a time as if the meeting of Friends there would be broken up Amid the general shaking, the children of old Richard Lippincott stood firm for the truth. The testimony of the Yearly Meeting against George Keith, was signed by 4 sons of that suffer for the Truth, all indeed who were living, Remembrnce, John Restore and Freedom. Jacob had died in 1689. It appears that Remembrance received a gift in the ministry in the exercise of which he was useful. His Friends sum up his life in a few words: "Remembrance Lippincott departed gthis life the 11th day of the twelth month 1722. He was clerk of our Monthly and Quarterly Meetings many years, a diligent attender of our meeting for worship, his labour was acceptable to Friends". That Remembrance Lippincott was conpicuous in the developments of the day is shown by his signature to a notable petition which was forwarded to William III in 1701, protesting against the selection, by the Proprietors of Andrew Hamilton, as Governor and urging the Crown, in the event of a suitable person not being named by the Proprietors, to take the Province of East Jersey under its directy jurisdiction. The controversy was a critical one in the history of the colony. A further reference will be made to it where Restore Lippincott is reached for oddly enough the brothers were not united, as they had been in the Kethian Imbroglio. The petition above mentioned was signed by over 200 of Remembrance Lippincott's contemporaries. Besides the latter's signature, that of his son Joseph a young man who had just attained his majority was among them. WILL 1719-20 Feb 23.
