Thomas Burlingame

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]

1. Thomas Burlingame was born Abt 1688.
2. Moses Burlingame was born 8 Jun 1690, Cranston, RI.
3. Freelove Burlingame was born Abt 1694.
4. Margaret Burlingame was born 1696, Cranston, RI; died Aft 25 Jan 1771.
5. Peter Burlingame was born Abt 1698.
6. Alice Burlingame was born Abt 1700.
7. Joshua Burlingame was born 1706, Cranston, RI; died 17 Apr 1788, Voluntown, CT.
8. Patience Burlingame was born Abt 1708.
9. Stephen Burlingame was born Abt 1710.
10. Sarah Burlingame was born Abt 1715.

Thomas married Hannah Gardiner 29 Aug 1726. [Group Sheet]

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:

John was one of the original settlers of Providence, RI and one of those to whom was assigned a house and six-acre lot in 1638. John signed the "Agreement for a Form of Government" on 27 July 1640 and was chosen with nine others by the Town of Providence to meet with Commissioners from the other three towns to form a government under the Charter, 16 May 1647.

He is our direct ancestor through two of his children, Mary & Moses Lippitt. Moses' daughter Martha Lippitt and Mary's son Thomas Burlingame (first cousins) married each other and had a daughter Margaret Burlingame who married Joseph Remington, Sr. They are the ancestors of my dad, Norman Remington, through the male Remington lineage.

John married Martha Unknown Abt 1636, MA or RI. Martha was born Abt 1618, England. [Group Sheet]
