If ever there was a stiffnecked, uncompromising sort of man, this Richard must have been it--just look at the names of his children! He came to MA, where he was listed as a freeman in 1640 in Dorchester, near Boston, where the first child wasborn. He moved to Boston in 1644 with his wife, and the next two children were born there. This period must have started out all right, for the names are rather normal, but the church cast him out because of his unyielding scruples and thefamily returned to England. The 4th child was born in Plymouth, England, and the next 3 in some other town in Devon before the family returned to America, going to a more lenient Rhode Island, where the last child was born. In 1669 they movedto Shrewsbury NJ as patentee under the charter of 1664.

Keep in mind that this was a period of tremendous turmoil in England, where their civil war erupted under Oliver Cromwell in 1642 after some 25 years of increasing stresses under Charles I. The last five children's names are a statement oftheir father's attitudes (only what does Jasab mean?); I have assigned the sex on the basis of other information that Richard had six sons and one daughter; Abigail is obviously female, but my list shows only five sons.

Additional insight on Richard comes from an old statement about the family which was used by some female relative for her membership in Colonial Dames many years back. It indicates that during the period back in England he had openly adoptedthe Quaker views and for that he was imprisoned in Exeter Castle in 1655 and 1660. That coincides with the birth of the children of strange names--defiant man!

The fact that the family settled finally in Shrewsbury, NJ, also underscores their identification with the Quakers, which would account for their being dismissed from their Puritan church on "scruples". I for one am proud that some of ourforebears were tolerant and strong enough to take persecution on behalf of others. It's much the same situation as that of the Jedediah Allen family where sons were whipped through towns for defending Quakers. Both families settled in the sameplace, and a few generations later a Lippincott married an Allen and brought their strength together for their descendants. I hope we are worthy of it but wonder just how much reached me.

General information about the surname itself is also in that old statement, a copy of which is in the supplemental notebook in the Lippincott section. Apparently the family was based in the extreme western section of Devon (which explains whyRichard was in Exeter), with some indication of aristocracy. Arms are described, with the notation that there are 3 feathers as part of the coat of arms, a sign of royalty, with only 70 families in the US having it--someone else said that, notI! But I do wish we had a copy of the design.

Richard Lippincott came to America and then returned to England, and became a Quaker. January 20, 1660, he was inprisioned by Oliver Gruly, Mayer of Plymoth, England for his religious activity, and was kept for a number of months, thenreleased. In 1663 he returned to America, stopped first at Rhode Island, then located at Shrensburg, New Jersey. He named three of his children Freedom, Preserved, and Resstored, in memory of different "epochs" in his religious life.
