It has been recorded that Freedom LIPPINCOTT's name was chosen "in commemoration of his father's release from imprisonment [in Exeter]."Marriage
The following is the certificate from Book A of the Burlington Meeting Records:Burlington, ye 14th day of 8th month, 1680:
"These are to certifie whom it may concerne that Freedom LIPPINCOTT of Shrewsbury and Mary COUSINS of Burlington, hath declared their Intentions of marriage at two general Monthly Meetings heare, & after ye consideration and consent of friends and relations they weare Joyned in marriage at a Publique Meeting in Burlington, ye day and yeare above written, in ye presence of us."

Other references put the date of their marriage as 4 Oct 1860. I have chosen to use the date ascribed in the Friends Meeting records as the official date of marriage.
