When James M. Pipkin was born on 19 April 1869, in Texas Township, Dent, Missouri, United States, his father, Thomas S. Pipkins, was 39 and his mother, Nancy Billingsley, was 36. He lived in Missouri, United States in 1870.
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.
