244. FREEDOM LIPPINCOTT SHINN (5).--JOHN (4), JACOB
(3), JOHN (2),
JOHN (1).
Freedom Lippincott, seventh child of John and Mary
(Norton) Shinn, born in Springfield Township,
Burlington County, New Jersey, 10/10/1792. In his
seventeenth year went to Philadelphia and placed
himself under the care of Dr. John White, who directed
his studies and prepared him for college; in 1815 was
graduated from the "Old University Medical and
Surgical College"; married at Camden, N. J.,
10/15/1815, Hannah Ackley; settled at Camden, where in
addition to the practice of his profession he
conducted a drug store and a chemical laboratory. In
1823 removed to Tom's River, N. J., where his practice
extended from Freehold to Barnegat, and from New Egypt
to the ocean. In 1846 he married the second time, Anna
Imlay, daughter of William and Mary Anderson Imlay of
Philadelphia, and removed to Cedar Creek, where he
remained for eleven years; he then removed to
Cassville, where he remained seven years; he then
located at Manchester Station or Lakehurst Postoffice,
where he passed the remainder of his life, practicing
his profession and enjoying the comforts of home and
cultured companions. His professional life embraced a
period of sixty-four years, fifty-six of which were
spent in Ocean County; he was a Presbyterian, and a
member of Harmony Lodge, F. A. M., at Tom's River. He
was of large and imposing physique; his presence
commanding; his personality gracious and winning. His
courteous manners won respect and gained for him the
title "Gentleman of the Old School." His generosity
prevented him from amassing wealth, and he died a poor
man comparatively. It is said that his account books
at the time of his death showed a large number of
uncollected accounts, which, if added to the unwritten
accounts, those which a noble physician always
dedicates to the poor, would represent a sum almost
sufficient to endow a college or equip a hospital.
Full of wit and good humor, he lived a happy life and
died, leaving his escutcheon untarnished by a single
mean act.
