1821 · Financial Relief for Public Land
A United States law to provide financial relief for the purchasers of Public Lands. It permitted the earlier buyers, that couldn't pay completely for the land, to return the land back to the government. This granted them a credit towards the debt they had on land. Congress, also, extended credit to buyer for eight more years. Still while being in economic panic and the shortage of currency made by citizens, the government hoped that with the time extension, the economy would improve.
Name Meaning
English: apparently from an unrecorded Middle English personal name Pipkin, perhaps a pet form of Philip . A pipkin was also an item of brass or other metalware, or a smaller form of a wine-pipe, but whether that is relevant to the surname is not known.
