Felicia Belle Lippitt

Notes:

I am making an assumption that the following data for Frank pertains to a son of William & Lydia Lippitt, although I can't find this family group when Frank is a child. I think Frank must be a son of William because his son is named Burch, probably after Catherine Burch, William's mother.

In the 1900 Federal Census, Frank S. Lippitt is age 38, b PA, and living at Buffalo, Erie Co., NY. He is married to Sarah and has two children, Burch & Felicia, ages 6 & 4. In 1910, Frank S. is 48, b PA, and living at Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co., OH. Frank & Sarah have two children: Burch 16, and Felicia 14. However, it says that both of his parents were born in RI, but this is incorrect, and is different from the data in the 1920 census, which says that his father was born in PA and his mother in NY. In 1920 the family is still in Cleveland; Frank S. is 57, Sarah C. is 54, Burch M. is 25, and Felicia Belle is 24.

Frank is a portrait artist with his own studio.

Frank married Sarah C. Unknown Abt 1892. Sarah was born Feb 1865, NY; died Aft 1 Jan 1920. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1860 Federal Census, William & Lydia "Lippet" are ages 23 & 22. A marble cutter, William was born in NY, and Lydia was born in PA. They are living at Spring Twp., Crawford Co., PA, in the household of William & Olive Rundall. Also is the same town is Catharine Lippet, 58 VT, who (I am assuming) is William's mother.

I haven't been able to locate William & Lydia in subsequent censuses. However, I have made an assumption that Frank S. Lippett is their son, based on the time frame and family names.

William married Lydia Unknown Bef 1 Jun 1860. Lydia was born Abt 1838, PA; died Aft 1 Jun 1861. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Lydia's maiden name may have been Rundell. She and her husband William are living in the William & Olive Rundell household in the 1860 Federal Census.

Notes:

The following information has been provided by a descendant, Richard Allen Brownell, Sr.:

Daniel Lippitt's family on the 1850 Spring Township, Crawford Co., PA census shows the following: Family #64=Daniel Lippitt 53 m. born 1797 in Rhode Island, Catherine 48 born 1802 in Vermont, Jane 21 born 1829 in NY, Ann M. 18 born 1832 in NY, William 13 born 1837 in NY, Isaac B. 11 born 1839 in NY. Note: William and Isaac similar names to Catherine Burch's family in Otsego. The next family #65=Lorenzo Lippitt 26 born 1824 in NY, Mary (Ross) Lippitt 21born 1829 in PA, Martha L. Lippitt 2 born 1848 in PA, Louise 4/12 born 1849 in PA.

Daniel married Catherine Burch 27 Sep 1821, Otsego Co., NY. Catherine was born 13 May 1802, VT; died 23 Oct 1875, NH. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The following information is provided by Richard Allen Brownell, Sr.:
"I believe that Catherine Burch's father was Isaac Burch of the town Hartwick, Otsego Co., NY, and that her grandparents were Rev. William Burch d.13 Nov. 1853, age 92y 5mo 13d, b.31 May 1761, and Sally d.5 Sept. 1846 73y, buried West Burlington Village Cemetery, Town of Burlington, Otsego Co., NY. They were afilliated with the Baptist Church, as was Isaac Burch. Note: William and Isaac were children's names used by Catherine and Daniel."

The following information is from Kathy Downs Wolff:
"I notice in your notes for Catherine, you have a reference to an email from Richard Brownell, Sr. who thinks Catherine might be the daughter of Isaac Burch. That's quite logical given that Isaac was 23 years older than her, but it turns out Isaac is really her older brother and the William/Sally couple aren't related to them at all. Catherine's birthday is 13 May 1802 and she died in New Hampshire 23 Oct. 1875."

My notes:

In the 1860 Federal Census, "Catharine Lippet" age 58 b VT is living at Spring Twp., Crawford Co., PA. In the household with her are: Ann, 25; Mary, 22; and Ida, 3. Ida is probably the daughter of Isaac (see 1870 census), and Mary may be her mother, Isaac's first wife; but where is Isaac in this census?
