Although the Totten and Kipp families had seemed
very close before the Revolution (Samuel Kipp's father, Squire
Benjamin, witnessed the making of Freelove Totten's father's will) Freelove's
father stated that he had always backed the Revolutionary side, and he
may have influenced his daughter not to follow her Loyalist husband
into exile. In addition, Freelove and her children remained in a Quaker
congregation, and may not have approved of Samuel's active military
role in the Revolution].[Samuel went to Canada and married a second time.
As was fairly common when wives of Loyalists refused to follow them into
exile, Samuel Kipp took advantage of an English law of 1760 which
allowed remarriage after three years of desertion. He married Mary
Knapp, the oldest daughter of Moses and Elizabeth Hatfield Knapp in
Nova Scotia. Captain Moses Knapp had also served with the Loyalist troops).
