The Lippincotts of Woodstown had many kinsfolk, some of whom are featured here. The kinsfolk were multi-dimensional in their life’s occupations. They tended to have not a single occupation but several, one of which usually was farming. They also tended to be long-lived, many living well into their 70’s and 80’s. They were sociable. We see them celebrating birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and enjoying themselves at parties, dances, county fairs, and other occasions. Other themes are their reputability and industriousness. They were individuals of conscience and consequence. They lived life with energy devoted to place and purpose. They were doers. They bore responsibility not only for themselves but their community. We see them working together on committees and projects and events in Woodstown. They were virtuous, high-value citizens. They were patriotic. They celebrated Independence Day and the founding of Fenwick’s Colony in 1675. Another remarkable attribute was the active role of women not merely as housewives but as eager contributors to the well-being of the community through a variety of useful roles. As seen in this and subsequent volumes, the Lippincotts of Woodstown were related by blood or marriage to almost every person of consequence in the community, including town mayors, council members, bank presidents, schoolteachers, school board members, ministers, attorneys, farmers, businessmen, civic leaders, state legislators, and others who contributed to a thriving community. All were descendants of the early settlers in New Jersey, most of whom were Quakers. The strength of the Quaker influence on Woodstown is evident, but not excessively so. The kinsfolk did not operate as a consortium. They were not a self-serving clique and were not regarded as such by other townspeople. Yet they were the fruition of a common ancestry that collectively formed the flesh and bones of the town and was firmly embedded in its heart and soul. Never again will there be such a unique family as the Lippincotts of Woodstown and their kinsfolk whose collective ancestry survived with such persistence and pervasive impact on a single community.
