Israel — Freelove Burlingame. Freelove (daughter of Thomas Burlingame and Martha Lippitt) was born Abt 1694. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Thomas was a son of John (or Roger) & Mary Burlingame. His brother John Jr. married Mary Lippitt, his wife's sister.

The will of Thomas Burllingame of Cranston, yeoman, dated 6 June 1756 (proved 1758) mentions wife Hannah; sons: Thomas, Moses, Peter, Joshua, and Stephen; dtrs: Margaret Remington, Sarah Briggs, Freelove Gorton, Alice Westcot, and Patience Burllingame; grandsons Samuel Burllingame and John Warner; granddaughter Freelove Arnold.

I have roughly estimated the birth years of some of Thomas's children.

Thomas married Martha Lippitt 5 Oct 1686, Warwick, RI. Martha (daughter of Moses Lippitt and Mary Knowles) was born Abt 1670; died 1723, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Martha & Thomas were first cousins, because his mother and her father were siblings.

Notes:

I don't know if he had any surviving children by his first wife, who died in England. His will, dated 26 April 1711, mentions his wife Mary; sons Roger, Peter, Thomas, & John; and "all my daughters" -- although he only names Marcy & Alice. He also mentions sons-in-law Thomas Arnold & Amos Stafford. It is not clear whether all these children are by his wife Mary. Therefore, I have estimated the birth years of some of the children.

Roger married Mary Lippitt 3 Oct 1663, Warwick, RI. Mary (daughter of John Lippitt, I and Martha Unknown) was born 3 Mar 1642/43, Providence, RI; died Between 1719 and 1720. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

She was his second wife. Also, she may have been Mary Lippitt Barlingstone, widow of William Barlingstone who drowned in the Bay about six weeks after their marriage March 23, 1661.

According to the Burlingame Manuscript by Nelson Burlingame (1986), Vol. 1, pg. 8, Mary's will was dated March 6, 1719 and proved Feb. 3, 1720. The Executor was her son Moses. The will reads: To son-in-law Thomas Burlingame & wife Martha,

Notes:

Moses was five times appointed deputy from 1681 to 1699, was overseer of the poor in 1687, and when he died, January 6, 1703, at Warwick, he left an estate which included a stock of leather, green hides and bark, abd tanning instruments. TheLippitt Burial Ground, in which are still to be found the uninscribed graves of Moses, and probably his father as well, is situated in a pasture southeast of the road and a quarter of a mile east of the Quaker meeting house at Old Warwick.

Moses married Mary Knowles 19 Nov 1667, Warwick, RI. Mary (daughter of Henry Knowles and Elizabeth Potter) was born Abt 1649; died 28 Dec 1719, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The information for this family group comes from the 1719 will of Mary Lippitt. In addition to all these children and grandchildren, she also mentions her sister Martha Eldred, and a granddaughter Mercy/Marcy Gorton, wife of Othniel Gorton. There is additional information on the Lippitt familes in "The History of Warwick Rhode Island" by Oliver Payson Fuller; and in "Genealogies of RI Families." I have estimated the birth years of the three daughters. (will at Warwick, pp. 154 & 155)
