Biography
"John Lippitt is the sixth name on a list of fifty-two persons who, in 1638, had 'home-lots' in Providence, R.I. Two years later (May 27, 1640), he signed a compact containing proposals for a form of government; and, in 1647, he was on a committee from Providence, which with other committees from Portsmouth, Newport and Warwick, met at Portsmouth 'for the purpose of organizing a government' under the first charter. He soon after removed to Warwick, R.I., where we find his name in 1655 on 'Ye roll of Freemen."[1]
Settled first at Salem, circa 1635 and came with Roger Williams to Rhode Island. Assigned a house and six acre lots in Rhode Island in 1638 as one of the original settlers. Signature appears on 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.
According to Cutter and Beckwith, John had the following children:[2][1]
- John, m. Ann Grove (or Ann Green?)
- Moses, m. Mary Knowles
- Nathaniel, died early? (Savage's Gen. Dic.)
- Joseph, died early? (Savage's Gen. Dic.)
- Rebecca, m1. Joseph Howard, m2. Francis Budlong
- daughter Mary (Lippitt) Burlingame is not mentioned by Cutter or Daniel Beckwith in his NEHGR article on the early Rhode Island Lippitts. .
Cutter states that John died after 1669, but he does not give any information about the year or place of death.[2] Beckwith says that John probably died in about 1670, stating (incorrectly) that his wife remarried in 1672.[1] His FindAGrave memorial, with no citation, no cemetery and no picture of a gravestone, shows that he died in 1667 in Warwick, Kent, Rhode Island.[3] Torry shows that he died about 1670.[4]
This profile originally stated that John's wife did remarry at Warwick on 21 Feb 1670[5] (which would be 1670/1671). A marriage of Edward Searle and Anne Lippett, widow appears on that date but she was apparently the widow of John's son, John Jr who had married Anne Green on 9 Feb 1664 (possibly 64/65, double year not shown in R.I. vital extract) where the groom was listed as "John Jr".[6]
Therefore the wife of John Sr. remains unknown.

Or a Lippitt descendant might pick one up hopefully.
This work is fresh off the press. It was announced in the "Quarterly News" section of NEHGR Summer 2021 issue.
While I may have overlooked something, I did not find an entry for it yet in the FamilySearch catalog or WorldCat.
If you give it a little time, I would imagine the work will be stocked in libraries at Providence or Warwick, hopefully also at FamilySearch Salt Lake. When that happens, you may be able to arrange to have a few pages duplicated for you.
If you are really anxious, perhaps place a call to the Rhode Island Genealogical Society to learn if anyone close to that organization might have plans to purchase the book. --Gene

“who possibly immigrated from Warwick England sometime before 1638” ….”although no records of John Lippitt appear in Salem, Massachusetts, he was probably a resident there before traveling south two years after pastor Roger Williams.”
