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)

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]

Henry — Elizabeth Potter. Elizabeth (daughter of Robert Potter and Isabel Unknown) was born Abt 1620; died 1670. [Group Sheet]

Robert — Isabel Unknown. Isabel died 1643, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

She died in 1643 as a result of the invasion by armed men from Boston who fought and arrested the men of the Shawomut settlement on Warwick Neck. She, along with Dr. Greene's wife Ailsce, may have died from the trauma of fright and exposure to the elements.
