Individual Details
Noah Pippin
(Abt 1768 - )
1790 Edgecombe Co NC Census. (Ancestry.com digital online) 1 white male over 16; three females.
3 Apr 1797, Noah & Appy drew one lot of the five lots of land of the estate of her father John Brown I, which they sold to Appy's brother Asa Brown on 4 Jan 1800. They also received a lot when her brother William died in 1804 - it was only 5 acres - they also sold this to Asa.
Noah was the guardian of his brother & sister, Benajah & Clara, after the death of their father. He was also guardian for John Brown II, Appy's younger brother.
Feb 1804 Noah was awarded administration of his sister Olive's estate. She had been absent from the state for seven years and was presumed dead.
26 Aug 1805
A warrant was issued for the arrest of Noah Pippin & Dicey Worsley to answer the plea of Thomas Newsom, Noah's brother-in-law. Thomas was the administrator of his sister Mary Newsom Pippin's estate and he alleged trespass against the estate and asked for damage of 50£.
May 1809 Court of Edgecome Co:
Noah PIPPIN ordered to pay Dicey Worsley £5 for lying in expenses &c of a bastard child begotten on her by the said Pippin ~ that he also pay 4 pounds per year for the support of said child for 5 years annually.
He may never have married Dicey as Dicey Worsley executed a will in 1831 which named daughters Polly, Elizabeth, and son Little [Littleberry] Worsley.
The Pippin Newsletter states that Noah's name last appears on documents executed in Edgecombe Co in 1814. The last mention of Appy was in 1807; she does not seem to appear in the 1810 census. The censuses indicate the couple may have had as many as 8 daughters.
Dicey Worsley, born abt 1770, was the daughter of Redding Adams. She was head of household on the 1800 Edgecombe Co census with two boys, two girls, and herself as age 26-45. Her husband is believed to have have been Pitman Worsley who was head of household on the 1790 Census for the Georgetown District of SC
Aug 26, 1805, warrant was issued by the county clerk of Edgecombe directing the sheriff to present Dicey & Noah to the justices of the court on the 4th Monday, Sept 1805 to answer a charge of trespass brought by Thomas Newson, executor of the estate of Mary Pippin. They were indebted to the estate for £50. Mary was Mary Newsom Pippin, widow of Benjamin Pippin, brother of Noah.
The liason with Dicey happened between 1805 and the 1809 record above. Dicey's will of 7 apr 1831, proven August Term of Court 1833, named Polly & Elizabeth who would have been the two daughters under 10 in 1800, and neither could have been the child of Dicey and Noah. Littlle Worlsey was actually Littleberry Worsley who inventoried his mother's estate and appears on the censuses from 1840 through 1880. Various birth years show he was born 1812-1814. His grave marker shows birth and death as 12 Jun 1812 and 8 Nov 1887. This would seem to make him too young to be the bastard child of Dicey and Noah in 1809. Worsley researchers claim Littleberry as a son of Pitman Worsley which also seems questionable.
