Biography

From http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~amorrow/fg04/fg04...:

Will bequeaths to his wife a 20-acre lot in Warwick, which goes to his son Moses after her death in addition to his house and various other property. His daughters got 20 shillings.

A family legend states that John Budlong (son of Francis Budlong and Rebecca Lippitt) was saved by a friendly squaw who hid him in a Dutch oven during the November raid, and that he was later traded to his uncle for a load of pumpkins. He was brought to the home of his uncle, Moses Lippitt, and raised there in Warwick along with his four cousins after the war. In 1692, when this sole survivor of the Budlong family massacre came of age, he bought twenty-five acres of land in Buttonwoods.

LIPPIT of MONMOUTH COUNTY

LIPPTH or Lippet, was of Providence, R. I., in 1638, where he had a house and a six acre lot.

  • 1640, July 27. He, with thirty eight others, signed an agreement for a form of government.
  • 1647, May 16. Be, with nine others, "well-betrusted friends and neighbors," were chosen, by the town of Providence, as Commissioners, to meet with Commissioners from the other three towns, at Porismouth, there to form a government under the charter. Having given this Committee full power to act, they close: "Thus betrasting you with the premises, we commit you unto the protection and direction of the Almighty, wishing you a comfortable veyage, a happy success and a safe return to us again. Austin.
  • 1648, June 5. He was located at Warwick, where, in 1655, he was a Freeman. Though a resident of this town, he had still landed interests in his former home, for, Apr. 27, 1653, he sold to Arthur Fennes, only reserving a five acre lot and three acres ei meadow, all his lands in Providence.
  • 1663, Feb. to. He bought six acres of John Gercardy.
  • 1665, Feb. 19. He had lots, in a division of lands in Providence.
  • 1669, May 22. He decided, for love, etc., and to shillings, in peage, sixteen per penny, to his son, Moses, his late dwelling house, etc.
  • John Lippit died some time after 1689, his wife is unknown.

Children

  • John Lippit, son of John Lippit, 1, married, Feb. 9, 1665, Ann Grove, who, after his death married, in 1670, Edward Searle. Issue: (1) John Lippit, born Nov. 16, 1665: married his cousin, Rebecca Lippit, Moses Lippit, born Feb. 17, 1668. Savage, Austinand Oliver Parson Fuller, in his History of Warwick, R. 1., have contributed extensively to the history of this family, whose name still exists in Rhode Island, and where many of them, (descendants of John Lippit, 7, and Moses Lippit, 8, sons oi John Lippit, 2) have attained distinction.
  • Moses Lippit: married, Nov. 19, 1668, Mary Knowles. See Austin's Rhode Island Geneological Dictionary.
  • Nathaniel Lippit, In 1676, he was a plaintifi in a suit.
  • Joseph Lippit; not traced.
  • Rebecca Lippit; married, first, Joseph Howard; second, Francis Budiong.
  • Henry Lippet, was among the "Associates," who bought the Monmouth 'Tract, in 1670, and his contribution was laid at L4. for which he, apparently, received one share, in the lands known as Newasink. Varumsunk and Pootapeck. It would seem as if lie might also have been a son of John Lippit, 1.

Children Geneology Notes

  • Savage suggests that Joseph and Nathaniel Lippit, sons of John Lippit, 1, died young. 'This may be correct, so far as Joseph Lippit is concerned, but Nathaniel Lippit was a settler on the Monmouth Tract, New Jersey, where, Nov. 21, 1676, Nathaniel Lippitt sued Christopher Allmey for breach of contract, and for detention of a "Barill of goods of Sondery Sorts. The verdict was in lavor of the plaintin. Court Records. Freehold N. 1.
  • Austin suggests that Moses Lippit, the progenitor of the Middletown, N. J., farily, was either the son of John Lippit the eldest son of John Lippit or of Nathaniel Lippit, as indicated above. I decidedly incline do this latter view, for Nathaniel Lippit was an early seller at Middletown. NJ is evidence against this supposition it may be noted that the name Nathaniel never appears among the descendants of Moses Lippit.
