On Jan. 5, 1707/8, Faith m. as his first wife Capt. Samuel Bingham, s. of Dea. Thomas Bingham & Mary Rudd. He was b. of record Mar. 28, 1685 at Norwich, Conn.

Seven children of the family. • ii. Abisha Bingham, b. Jan. 29, 1709/10; m. Dec. 28, 1731 as "Abithai Bingham of Windham," Mary Tubbs at Lyme, Conn. [Lyme 1st Chh. Rec.], dau. of Isaac Tubbs, b.

[1]** Faith is erroneously called Judith in the original handwritten manuscript of Rev. Peter Hobart, born in Sept. 1686, the day not entered. There was no separate child named Judith and in 1686 female children did not have double or middle names. Regardless of where born, all of the children of Joshua and Hannah (Bradford) Ripley are recorded in the Windham, Conn. town records with Faith, "daughter of Joshua and Hannah, b. Sept. 20, 1686, at Hingham" (Wind. VRs, p. 206). A transcription of Hobart's Journal was printed in NEHGS Register 121:270 and added details not found in the original handwritten copy of Hobart's Journal. Notwithstanding, in the original journal the immediate preceding entry is for the Sept. 6, 1686 birth of Mary Gill, daughter of Samuel. The modern transcription of the journal inserted a Sept. 11, 1686 baptism between Mary Gill and "Judith" Ripley whereas the 1893 History of the Town of Hingham miscopied the erroneously named "Judith" as born in "Oct. 1686." Still further, the date Sept. 20, 1686 has been attributed to Faith as the date of her baptism at Windham, Conn. The town of Windham did not exist in 1686 as the first organizing town meeting was not held until May 18, 1691 with Windham not legally a town until approved by the Connecticut Assembly on May 12, 1692 [Conn. Colony Public Records, 4:67]. There are no surviving church records for the Windham First Church prior to the year 1700 and no surviving baptism records of children at that church until after 1720. There also are no surviving church records at Norwich, Conn. prior to the year 1699, where the Joshua Ripley family first resided before finally settling at Windham. Explanatory note added 12/20/21
