"QUAKER BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES of Ministers and Elders, and other
concerned members of the Yearly Meeting of Philadelphia" [1682-1800]
Edited by Willard Heiss (Indianapolis: 1972) Page 87
"REMEMBRANCE LIPPINCOTT. Remembrance Lippincott, the son of Richard
and Abigail Lippincott, was born at Dorchester, New England, on the 15th
of the Month , 1650. His parents being convinced, soon after his
birth, of the truth of the principles held by the people called Quakers,
he was brought under the restraints which the faithful members of that
society endeavor to exercise on their children. When George Keith
endeavored to lead astray the society, of which he had long been an
advocate, his sophistries were plied with the most success in East
Jersey, where John Barclay, brother to his old Friend Robert, lent his influence
to sustain him. It seemed for a time as if the meetings of Friends there
would be broken up. Amid the general shaking, the children of old
Richard Lippincott stood firm for the truth. The testimony of the Yearly Meeting
against George Keith, was signed by four sons of that sufferer for the
Truth, all indeed who were then living,---Remembrance, John, Restore,
and Freedom. Jacob had died in 1689.
It appears that Remembrance received a gift in the ministry in the
exercise of which he was useful. His Friends sume up his life in a
few words, "Remembrance Lippincott departed this life the 11th day of
the Twelfth month, 1711. He was clerk of our Monthly and Quarterly
Meetings many years; a diligent attender of our meeting for worship;
his labor was acceptable to Friends." [THE FRIEND - Volume 28, Page
