Edited from the papers of the late James S. Lippincott
This book offers a genealogical history of the Lippincott family, tracing their lineage from their origins in England to their settlement in America. The author details the family's presence in Devonshire, England, starting with their connection to the manor of Lovecott, as documented in the Domesday Book of 1086. Information is gathered from various historical sources, including court records, parish registers, and heraldic documents, to shed light on the family's social, economic, and religious lives, including the Lippincotts' involvement in local government, their landholdings, and their connections to other prominent English families. We see their Puritan beliefs and the author's ancestor Richard Lippincott's early experiences as a settler in Massachusetts Bay, including his excommunication from the First Church of Boston, which led him back to England. This book serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the Lippincott family's history and their place in the social and religious landscape of England and America during the 17th and 18th centuries. Be aware of this original work containing faded typescript.
