New Jersey's first permanent European settlement was in 1660.
Hannah Bonham Lippington was born on October 8, 1659 in Barnstable, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Her parents were Nicholas Bonham and Hannah Fuller.
When she was 18, she married Daniel Lippington (Lippentone, Lippentoune) on September 19, 1677. They lived in Piscataway, New Jersey and their children were born there.
Their children included:
Richard Lippington (1678, died at birth),
Dorothy Lippington (1679, died age 3),
Hannah Lippington (1681/82, died 11 months), and
Daniel Lippington (1687, died age 7).
Hannah (the mother) died on August 19 1689 when she was only 29.
Reseachers disagree about the date of Daniel, Sr.'s death. In 1697 Hezekiah held land that belonged to Daniel.
Old Style Calendar
Before 1752 the year began on Lady Day, March 25th,. Dates between January 1st and March 24th were at the end of the year. Old Style (O.S.) and New Style (N.S.) are used to indicate whether the year has been adjusted. Often both dates are used.
Barnstable, Massachusetts was settled in 1639 when Parson Joseph Hull came to Cape Cod with and his congregation from Weymouth. A little later in the year, the Reverend John Lothrop brought his Congregationalists. They incorporated as the Town of Barnstable.
