Notes
Birth
It has been recorded that Restore LIPPINCOTT "received his name in commemoration of his father's restoration to his native land and to the communion of more congenial spirits."Immigration
Restore LIPPINCOTT was brought to America by his parents and he accompanied them on their removal from Rhode Island to Shrewsbury, Monmouth, NJ.Marriage
Billy Cox lists an additional child; Hope LIPPINCOTT, born in Oct 1681. It is my contention that Hannah and Hope are one in the same.Restore Lippincott and Hannah Shattock were married at the home of William Shattock.
Occupation
In 1703 and 1705, Restore LIPPINCOTT was a member of the governor's council of West New Jersey, to which he had removed in 1692. In that year, he purchased 570 acres of land in Northampton, Burlington, NJ from Thomas Olive upon which he resided until his death. He also owned 1000 acres at Pemberton NJ. The first Friends Meeting, authorized in 1704 in the vicinity of Mount Holly were held in his house, and that of Daniel Wills, Jr. Meetings were held there until 1716 when the meeting house was erected.Politics
In 1703 and 1705 he was a member of the governor's council of West New Jersey, to which he had moved in 1692.In 1701 he was elected from Burlington County to be a representative to the West Jersey Assembly and in the same year he joined with the Provincial Council and the members of the Assembly in the petition which they addressed to King William, asking for the confirmation of Andrew Hamilton as governor of the Colony. This Assembly was the last to meet under the West Jersey government, as in 1702, the Proprietors of the provinces of East and West Jersey surrendered their rights of government to the crown, whereupon Queen Anne united the two governments under one, naming it New Jersey, and appointing Lord Cornbury as governor. The first Assembly under the new regime met at Perth Amboy in 1703. Restore LIPPINCOTT was chosen one of its members and participated in its deliberations. He was re-elected in 1704 and continued to serve in such capacity until the Assembly was dissolved in October 1706.
Marriage
Martha SHINN was a widow. Her married name was Martha OWEN."Whereas Restore LIPPINCOTT of Northampton Twp., County of Burlington in the West division of New Jersey and Martha (SHINN) OWEN (a widow) of the same aforesaid township and county have declared their intentions of marriage with each other before several monthly meetings of the people of God called Quakers in Burlington . . . having the consent of friends and relations, their proposals of marriage was allowed . . . Know these are to certify to all concerned that on the twenty-fourth day of the tenth month in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and twenty-nine the aforesaid Restore LIPPINCOTT and Martha OWEN became husband and wife." [paraphrased]
Witnesses included: James Shinn, Mary Shinn, James Lippincott, Joshua Owen, James Shinn, Abigail Shinn, Rebecca Owen, Martha Owen, Joseph Shinn, Francis Shinn and Elizabeth Shinn.
Will
Will of Restore LIPPINCOTT of Northampton is dated 16 Mar 1733 and proved 8 Aug 1741; names sons, John Jr. and James; daughters, Rachel Dawson, Abigail Shinn (wife of James), Rebecca Gaskill (wife of Josiah), Elizabeth Shinn (widow of George).Burial
According to Billy Cox, the first meeting house is located at the site of the burying ground. Although the ground is still open for burials, it is currently an association cemetery administered by Lippincott descendants. There are no "old stones" because in 1828, the Philadelphia yearly meeting decreed that all markers should be removed and non erected for future burials. This went along with their tenet of anonymity in death. However, this decree was rescinded about ten years later and instructions were given as to the size of the marker; 6 inches off the ground with name and date on the face and/or top of the stone. This is why mid-nineteenth century Friends' Burial Grounds are so distinctive, with their tidy rows of small stones.Death
Thomas Chalkley, an eminent Friend, in his journal stated that he was present at the burialof Restore LIPPINCOTT, at Mount Holly, Burlington county, NJ in 1741, and stated that, "I was at the burial of our ancient friend, Restore[d] LIPPINCOTT; he was as I understood, nearly one hundred years of age and had upwards of two hundred children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren many of whom were at his funeral."Probate
