1. Thomas1 Lillibridge, the founder of the Lillibridge family in the United States, was born in England in 1662. His name first appears in this country attached to a petition, dated Newport, Sept. 26, 1699, to the Earl of Bellomont, to use his influence with "his Majesty" William III, for the establishment of an Episcopal church at Newport . This was Trinity Church, in which Thomas Lillibridge was a warden till 1713, and where he owned pew 8 till 1719. He was admitted a freeman at Newport, May 6, 1701, and is mentioned as a vestryman in Narragansett church, 1718. He settled in old Westerly in 1720, where he died Aug. 29, 1724. Besides personal estate inventories at £1160, 18s., and two slaves, he left by his will 1724, two houses in Newport, land in the "Narragansett country," and old Westerly, besides other "unsettled lands"; also a maintenance to his brother Edward, "if he shall come into this country"; and a bequest "unto John my brother’s son"—perhaps he who married Mary Joslin in South Kinston, Mar. 29, 1730. Many of the records in Newport being destroyed by the British during the Revolution, the records in Newport being destroyed by the British during the Revolution, the records of Thomas Lillibridge’s Newport life are meager, but indicate that he married first Mary, daughter of Henry and Mary Hobson ; and secondly Sarah Lewis, who died Jan. 22, 1760, aged 85, her name being signed as his wife, with his, to a deed of Newport land, July 5, 1706.
