Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Mercy Burlingame was born Abt 1673, Warwick, RI (daughter of Roger Burlingame and Mary Lippitt).

    Notes:

    Mercy (Burlingame) Gorton was mentioned in the 1719 Warwick will of her grandmother, Mary (Knowles) Lippitt. She was probably the daughter of either Thomas Burlingame or John Burlingame.

    Mercy — Othniel Gorton, Sr.. Othniel (son of John Gorton and Margaret Weedon) was born 22 Sep 1669, Warwick, RI; died 13 Jun 1733. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. Frances Gorton
    2. Othniel Gorton, Jr. was born 1 Oct 1718, Warwick, RI; died 1797.

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Roger Burlingame was born 24 Jan 1619/20, Kent, England; died 1 Sep 1718, Providence, RI.

    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]


  2. 3.  Mary Lippitt was born 3 Mar 1642/43, Providence, RI (daughter of John Lippitt, I and Martha Unknown); died Between 1719 and 1720.

    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,

    1. John Burlingame was born 8 Jan 1663/64.
    2. Thomas Burlingame was born 6 Feb 1666/67, Meshanticut, Cranston, RI; died 9 Jul 1758, Warwick, RI.

Generation: 3

  1. 6.  John Lippitt, I was born 1596, England; died 1667, Warwick, RI.

    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]
