Jemima and John were married about 1758 and they were the parents of:

Rhoda Sylvanus/1759 (Mrs Jacob DeCamp)
Joseph/17 Mar 1763 m. Hannah, a Shawnee woman
Phillip/
George/
John, III/abt 1767 m. Sarah Carter; 2) Eleanor Slater


John Pipes Jr. married Jemima Harriman in New Jersey about 1760. We believe they had at least three sons although there has been much speculation about who were their sons and how many there were. We know that Joseph Pipes who lived in southwest Pennsylvania was a son of theirs because he said so, he stated that he was born in March of 1763 in Morristown. There is some certainty that John Pipes who lived in North Carolina and returned to live in Pennsylvania near Joseph was also a son of John and Jemima. He was born about 1764. The others who have been named but not proven are Matthew, Hiram, Phillip and George. I believe that the Phillip often mentioned is really John, Jr.'s brother; and the George mentioned is a son of Sylvanus. For information on Hiram and Matthew, see the Hiram Pipes story elsewhere on this site. They were definitely related to John Jr., but not his sons. Recent work by John Hawkins has discovered a possible daughter named Rhoda. This Rhoda married a man named De Camp and they moved to upstate New York.

We would really like to know what happened to Jemima, but she apparently passed away before 1775. I suspect that the story may be connected to Washington County, Pennsylvania and the fact that their son Joseph said that he was captured by the Indians when he was very young and was held by them for 4 years. From the tax records, it appears that John Sr, Phillip, and Abner may have moved to North Carolina, with Windsor moving to far southwestern Pennsylvania, as he is recorded as selling land there in 1772. Court records continue to mention John, Jr and Windsor in Morristown until 1767, with Windsor suing Job Allen in 1765 and John, Jr. signing a mortgage with John Harriman in 1767. Jemima is mentioned in her father's will in Morris County in 1772, and that is the last reference to her that is known.

NOTES: The Pipes, the Hathaway's and other families leaving New Jersey and heading to southwest Pennsylvania were attacked by Indians along a river and had to turn back. It has been speculated that this is the time when Joseph Pipes, son of John, Jr. and Jemima (Harriman), was kidnapped and that perhaps Jemima was killed by the Indians. The next year some of the same group made another attempt and this time they were successful.

He signed a mortgage with father-in-law John Harriman on 20 October 1766 in Pequannack, Morris Co., New Jersey.

Note: Her father was minister of the church.


Her parents were John Harriman and Miriam Blackman.
