History

The Hinchmann-Lippincott house is associated with the earliest founders of Haddon Heights, New Jersey. The first permanent settlement in the Haddon Heights area was established by various families from Flushing, New York.[1] John Hinchmann purchased a 1000-acre plot from John Hugg in 1699.[1]

In the early 1700s John Hinchmann built two farmhouses on the property: the Hinchmann-Lippincott House and the Col. Joseph Ellis House.

The Hinchmann family owned the property until it was divided and sold by Isaac Hinchmann in 1762. The Hinchmann-Lippincott House and 100 acres was bought by David Hurley. In 1807, James Hurley sold the property, including the house, to Nathaniel Lippincott. Benjamin Lippincott, who built the first railroad station in Haddon Heights, was also the last Lippincott to live in the house.[1] In the early twentieth century, he subdivided the land for housing.
