ROGER BURLINGAME, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (HOWARD) BURLINGAME, born Kent Co., England Jan. 24, 1620, died Mashantatack (Cranston), R.I., Sept. 1, 1718 (VR of RI, 1st series, vol. II:52); married, first, England, about 1646, Jacolyn HUNTINGDON, died England; married, second, Warwick, R.I., Oct. 3, 1663 Mrs. MARY (LIPPITT) BARLINSTONE, born Providence Plantations, R.I., March 3, 1643, died Mashantatack July 5, 1718, daughter of John and Martha (_____) LIPPITT and widow of William BARLINSTONE, whom she had married on March 23, 1661. See below for information regarding John LIPPITT.

At the age of sixteen Roger BURLINGAME enlisted in the British Army, serving in the regiment of his uncle, Roger BURLINGHAM, and eventually reaching the rank of Captain. After his marriage and the birth of his son, Captain Roger BURLINGAME and his company were ordered to America; he landed with his troops at Boston on May 10, 1650. Soon after reaching America he resigned his commission and went up into the Connecticut Valley for the purpose of purchasing a farm, with the intention of bringing his wife and child to America, only to learn that his wife had died.

He was a witness to Court held at Stonington, Conn. in 1654. He and Thomas GRIFFIAN (said to have been the brother-in-law of Roger BURLINGAME, having married his sister, Elizabeth BURLINGAME) purchased one hundred acres of land on Feb. 16, 1656 at Pequot (now New London), Conn. located on the east side ‘of the brook Called misticke’. (Suffolk Deed III:455). He sold this farm on March 1, 1659.

John HARRUD, Roger BURLINGHAM and Thomas RALPH were recognized as the first English settlers of Mashantatuck (Sidney S. Rider, History of Rhode Island Lands). The three settlers claimed to have had a grant from the Cooweeseette Indians bearing the date of June 6, 1662 for 4000 acres at Patuxet, at a place called either Mashantatack or Paquabuck (Providence Town Papers 0120,I:53). By order of the General Assembly of Sept. 25, 1671, they were ordered to make the rate and levy the assessments on the inhabitants of Mashantatack.

Roger BURLINGHAM was elected Deputy to represent Warwick at the General Assembly of May 6, 1690. However, he was not accepted as Deputy since he claimed residence in two jurisdictions (Warwick and Mashantatuck; the Assembly declared the election illegal, ruling that BURLINGHAM resided in Mashantatuck (Proceedings of the General Assembly May 16, 1690). At a Town Meeting of Elections on June 6, 1698 Roger BURLINGAME was chosen as one of seven members of the Town Council.

Roger BURLINGAME and his family were of the Quaker faith. For many years up until 1711, the “Friends” held their meetings in his mansion house (May Day Souvenir of May 2, 1882, The Oak Lawn Baptist Church of Providence).Roger BURLINGAME’s will, dated Nov. 28, 1715 and proved Sept. 13, 1718, named his wife Mary [who had predeceased him], daughters Mercy, Alice, sons Roger, Peter, Thomas, John, as well as several grandchildren and two sons-in-law. All children were to share equally, the moveable estate being valued at 199 pounds: 13: 8. Son Roger received fifty acres, and John, Thomas, and Roger received 20s. each.

Glen ALLEN, (hereafter GA), stated that Roger’s father was George Thomas BURLINGAME from Darwich, Kent, England. He wrote that Roger̓s first wife was Mary (_____) with whom he had one son, Roger, Jr., born in England. He then married in Rhode Island in October, 1663 Widow Mary BARLINGSTON with whom he had four children. In 1672 he married Mary LIPPETT with whom he had five children. ALLEN also indicated that Mary LIPPETT was the daughter of John and Mary LIPPETT and an older sister of Martha LIPPETT who married Roger BURLINGAME’s son, Thomas.

By author of FTM World Family Tree, Vol 6, tree 586:

Roger Burlingame, herein called of the first generation, first appeared in the records, when he was a witness to court held at Stonington, Connecticut in 1654. Feb. 16,1656 he purchased a farm near Pequiot, Conn. which he sold Mar. 1, 1659 and in 1660 was of Warwick, R.I. Next we find that Roger Burlingame, Thomas Ralph and John Harrud purchased from the Cooweeseete Indians, 4000 acres at Patuexet, at a place called Mashantack and called by some Paquabuck. This grant or deed is dated June 6,1662 and that section was called the Mashantack Purchase and included what is now Cranston, R.I. Sidney S. Rider in his "History of R.I. Lands" states that these three men were the first English settlers in that section. There are many references made to Roger Burlingame in the early records and he was a large land owner in both Mashantack and Warwick, R.I. He and his family were of the Quaker Faith, and the Oaklawn Baptist Church of Providence, R.I., in its May Day Souvenier of 1882 states that for many years, up until 1711, the "Friends" held their meetings in Roger Burlingame's Mansion House. Roger was born in 1638 and died Providence, R.I. Sept. 1, 1718, he married Mary Barlingstone, daughter [sic - should be widow] of William Barlingstone. She died a short time previous to Roger. (Some records of late years have given the wife of Roger as Mary Lippitt, which is an error and they have the name mixed with two of Roger's sons, both of which married into the Lippitt family.) Roger's will dated Nov. 28,1715 and proved Sept. 13. 1718. Ex: Wife Mary, but as she had died, the eldest son John, took administration. He makes mention of his sons, John, Thomas, Peter (died unmarried) and Roger Jr.; daughters Mary, Jane Alice, Mercy Elizabeth and Patience.

CAPTAIN IN THE BRITISH ARMY

CONSTABLE, PROVIDENCE, R.I., 1697

MEMBER OF PROVIDENCE TOWN COUNCIL, 1698

A BIOGRAPHY OF CAPT. ROGER BURLINGAME, by Larry Overmire (9G Grandson): At the age of 16, Roger enlisted in the British army in his uncle Roger Burlingham's regiment, eventually attaining the rank of Captain. His company was sent to America, landing at Boston, MA on May 10, 1650. Shortly after, he resigned his commission and moved to Connecticut, where he planned to buy a farm and send for his wife and son in England, not knowing that his wife (Jacolyn Huntingdon) had died. He took Mary Lippitt to be his second wife, settling in Warwick and Mashantatack RI. He and his family were Quakers.

Roger's father Thomas married one Elizabeth Howard of Norfolk. Though her parentage is as yet unknown, the Howards were the Dukes of Norfolk. Two of them were wives of Henry VIII: Anne Boleyn, whose mother was a Howard, and Catherine Howard.

ORIGINS OF THE BURLINGHAMS The Burlinghams were an ancient Anglo-Saxon family, the name meaning "the sons of the cup bearer." We can trace as far back as Simon Burlingham in the 15th century in Norfolk, England. Burlingham became Burlingame in America.

"ROGER, Stonington 1654, Warwick 1660, by wife Mary had John, born 1 Aug. 1664; and Thomas, 6 Feb. 1667, but nothing more is found of him, or wife or children except that his daughter Mary married 19 Dec. 1689, Amos Stafford, living 72 yrs. with him, had thirteen children as is said, was born six days after him, and died at equal distance, aged 97, some part of which may be true, but the newspaper that mentioned his (Stafford's) death at 97, makes the widow 92. Five yrs. discrepancy in a tradit. is not of high import. See Geneal. Reg. VIII. 368. THOMAS, Warwick, or Kingstown, son of Roger, married Martha, daughter of Moses Lippit, as from wills of her father and husband is gain. but I profit no more." --James Savage

Moses was one of the deputies for Warwick at the general assembley at Newport in 1681, 1684, 1690, and 1698. He died January 6 1703. He married, Nov. 19. 1668, Mary Knowles, daughter of Henry Knowles. They had: i. Mary, m. John Burlingame, of Kingston, R.I., son of Roger and Martha Burlingame. He was born Jan. 8th 1664. ii. Martha, m. Thomas Burlingame, brother of Joh, b. Feb , 1667 iii. Rebecca, m. John Lippit (son of father's brother John). iv. Moses, m Ann Phylliss Whipple.

read compiled history

one excerpt "I have a copy of a document "Burlingame Lineage Records" written by Henry Allen Burlingame of Pawtucket, R.I. in 1926.

In this document he describes the Burlingame "Mansion house" this way: "Roger's homestead site is about 1 1/2 miles northwesterly from Oak Lawn Depot, Cranston, R.I. After passing the Old Friends Meeting House (built in 1729) go up the hill to the second four corners, there turn to the right and go down to a point nearly opposite the Wilbur A. Searle place (so called) where the bridge crosses the Mashantatack brook to go up to said Searl Place westerly from the Old Furnace Road (so called) and here on the easterly side of said road is the tumbled in cellar, the old chimney mound of brick, stone and mortar with ivy twined about and the nearly filled up well that marks the Mansion House Homestead Site of our first known American Ancestor, Roger Burlingham, hame, game, which I located Friday November 25th, 1921.

Roger Burlingame's homesite was located about one and one-half miles northwest from the Oak Lawn Depot in Cranston, Rhode Island. This is the site of the mansion house homestead of Roger Burlingame. This house was built about 1666. It was about 35 by 60 feet and was two and one-half stories, with a common plain roof on each side and an ell at the northeast corner with the main house facing south. Also a gambrel roofed house was south, not far from it and fronted on the west, towards the Furnace Road. The old well supplied both homesteads. This tract included the "iron ore beds which are well known". On September 6, 1704 (Nelson Burlingame says 1684), Roger deeded to his son, Peter, a house and 50 acres subject to the use and profits for Roger and his wife for life." Clues to finding the Burlingame homestead site:

In modern-day Cranston, the Quaker Meeting house site is now a church that houses the Oak lawn Community Baptist Church at the intersection of Wilbur Avenue and Locust Glen Road. The Searle House amazingly still stands and is located at 109 Wilbur Avenue.There is no "Old Furnace Road" - but there is a Furnace Hill Road which crosses over Furnace Hill Brook. A reasonable guess would be that Roger Burlingame's homestead - marked by those bricks and stones would be found near near there. Google maps link: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Furnace+Hill+Rd/@41.755433,-71.48... "On June 17, 1662, the General Assembly granted the petition of Thomas Ralph, William Burton, Roger Burlingame, John Harrod and "divers" other Warwick men to "purchase of the natives that are the true owners, a tract not exceeding fower thousand acres . . . always provided it bee such land as not already granted." This grant, known at the Meschanticut Purchase, opened the Oaklawn area for settlement.

The oldest house in Oaklawn was built by Edward Searle, son-in-law of Thomas Ralph. He acquired the land in 1671. During the conflict between the Indians and English known as King Philip's War, most of the buildings west of Narragansett Bay were destroyed; all but one in Cranston were burned to the ground. Searle rebuilt in 1677, and his one-and-a-half story gable-roofed "stone ender" still stands as part of the house at 109 Wilbur Avenue. This area was known as Searle's Corner at the time.

The first church in Cranston, built by Quakers who had been meeting in the homes of members since 1705, was erected in 1729 near Moshantatuck Brook on the present site of the Oaklawn Community Baptist Church. They also built a small schoolhouse nearby.

Roger's first wife, Jacolyn Huntingdon Burlingame died in England shortly after Roger had been sent to Boston with his troops. a son from this marriage, Roger Burlingame, Jr (1648-10 Feb1678) lived to adulthood. He eventually came to America too. He is believed to have accompanied his aunt and uncle, Elizabeth and Thomas Griffian, when they came to Connecticut Colony from England in the mid-1650's. It is possible that Thomas Burlingham, Roger Sr's father may have also accompanied the Griffians. Roger Burlingame, Jr eventually married a Mary Elizabeth____? (B.1651-Engl-8 July 1672) in Mashantatack. She died there shortly after the birth of a son who also died. Roger Jr. died six years later, evidently having not remarried. Roger Jr.'s death must not have been unexpected. The same year, his father and step-mother (Mary Elizabeth Lippitt) had another son, their seventh child, whom they named Roger. This Roger then became known as Roger Jr. He lived from 1678 to 1765 and had many descendents. Source: Gary Burlingame Gen. Entered by lllippitt1Oct2014. /////////////Birth: Jan. 24, 1620, England Death: Sep. 1, 1718 Providence Providence County Rhode Island, USA

He was the only member if his family to escape an Indian attack(no record of where this happened of by what Indian Tribe. His parents and the rest of his siblings were massacred. Roger first appeared in Stonington,Connectiecut in 1654 where he appeared as a witness in court records,it was unknown from where he came from prior to his appearance. On Feb 15,1656 he and a Thomas Griffith bought 100 acres of land in Pequiot, Connecticut,which he sold March 1,1959. He next appeared in Rhode Island,where he and Thomas Ralph and John Harrud claimed to have a grant of 4,000 acres from Cooweesee Indians on June 6,1660 in place called Mashantastack. Sept 25,1671, the General Assembly ordered that Roger Burlingame, Thomas Ralph and John Harrud,or any two of them shall have levy assessment on people of Mashantatack. Sept 1,1687 he was taxed 6 shillings. In 1690,he was elected Deputy to General Assembly in Warwick, Rhode Island. Jun 7,1697, he was chosen Constable and July 6,1698 was elected to Town Council.

He deeded house and 50 acres to his son Peter Burlingame, Sept 6,1704. Roger died Nov. 18, 1718 at 98 un Providence, Rhode Island & his will was proved November 28,1718 Ececutor. His wife Mary Lippett(1620-1718) father was John Lippett, she apparently died the same year, but before he did.

My other source says that Roger Burlingame, Sr. died September 1,1718, not November 28,1718. Because Mary died, the oldest son, John Burlingame took administration with an over-seer, son-in-law, Thomas Arnold and Amos Stafford and Roger Burlingame, Jr.

• *Note** This information came out of the Burlingame record that I have rec'd by another family member. My grand-mother was a Burlingame from California, MO. She died in 1936.
