A propos de cet article

4to (approx. 9¾" x 8"), docketed on verso of integral leaf; previous folds else very good and legible. Agreement between Charles Lippitt, Benjamin Aborn, George Jackson, Amasa Mason and William H. Mason on the one hand, and Christopher Lippitt on the other: "That the said Christopher covenants & engages with the party of the first part that he will faithfully to the best of his skill & ability . for the period of one year, act as superintendent & agent for the Lippitt Manufacturing Company . in building a mill or mills, building dwelling houses, erecting machinery, & carrying on all the manufactories which the may eract or establish on their estate in Warwick, & generally in all their business according to their orders and directions, to which he is to devote his time & attention exclusively for said term."

His regiment's enlistment expired in the spring of 1777, and Lippitt returned to Rhode Island, having received a Brigadier General's commission 'by brevet' from Gen. Washington. He later became a brigadier-general in the Rhode Island militia and participated in the battle of Rhode Island, under Maj. Gen. Sullivan. He served as a member of the Rhode Island General Assembly throughout the remainder of the war, and was appointed a Judge of the Superior Court of the state in 1783. Lippitt had a saw mill and engaged in farming after the Revolution. In 1809, he and his brother Charles - also a signatory on the document - and several other Cranston area men founded a cotton mill, called the Lippitt Manufacturing Company (see his brief biography in Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography and on the Find-a-Grave website).…
