I never heard this story before but sounds interesting. Thanks for telling it. We would be very interested in seeing the picture of Leonard Slipp.
Did you get a letter about the Slipp Family Reunion planned for next summer?

I had always heard the story that Leonard also had all of his silver melted down while in NY and made into garters and shoe buckles so that he could run with his fortune when need be- what with the revolution in sight. When he had settled in NB, some time later, his daughters convinced him to melt the garters back down and have a set of pure silver spoons made. Has anyone else heard this story? (I also have a photo of Leonard G. for anyone interested- I come from his line).

Great photo, yes. It is not “believed” to be the Duncan Slipp house, but truly is since I was the one who identified it for the PANB and have others from the set.

Its good to have these pictures on the site. I am sure I say the real thing at the Museum at Gagetown some time back.

Lynn thank you for posting this very interesting will. No question Leonard Slipp was very religious. The amounts he bestowed upon family were large for those days. Would be interesting to know how much 180 pounds was worth back then, in comparison to today’s dollar. Great find Lynn!
