Biography

A 1938 publication claims she died childless in 14 Dec 1648, but no record of this death has yet been found.[1]

She was not mentioned in her father's 1669 will, but Anthony Potter received a bequest from her father, who named him "my sometimes son-in-law" implying that he had been at some time son-in-law of John Whipple.[2]

  • General William Whipple, of Portsmouth, N. H., signer of the Declaration of Independence, was born January 14th, 1730, in Kittery, Me. He was the son of Captain William Whipple, senior, of Kittery, grandson of Major Matthew Whipple* of Ipswich, Mass., great grand-son of Captain John Whipple, and great-great grandson of Elder John Whipple, both also of Ipswich.
    • * Major Matthew Whipple, of Ipswich, Mass., grandfather of General William Whipple, is stated in the Appendix to "The Presentation of Flags to the Schools of Portsmouth, N. H.," Portsmouth, 1890, page 20, to have been a grandson of Matthew Whipple of Ipswich (brother of Elder John Whipple), through his son John. As both brothers, Matthew and John, had sons John, "these three Johns are grievously confounded by most writers who have noticed them," and following the authority there quoted the mistake occurred. It is now corrected on the authority of a scarce pamphlet, entitled "A brief Genealogy of the Whipple Family,' compiled by John H. Boutelle of Woburn, for Oliver M. Whipple, Esq., of Lowell, Mass., Lowell, 1857, where "the earlier generations especially have been traced through, and several important points, hitherto wrongly printed, are now satisfactorily investigated," as stated in the "N. E. H. G. Register," vol. XI, page 360.

  • "The Whipple family in this country undoubtedly descended from Matthew Whipple of Bocking, county Essex, England, a clothier. Will of December 19th, 1616, probated January 28th, 1618, mentions son Matthew, son John, daughters Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Anne [Amce?], Johane, Amye ; 'my sister, wife of Richard Rathbone; Hercules Stephens, grandchildren Hercules and Margaret Arthur, and Henry and Anne Coldham [Caldham]'.
  • The two brothers, Matthew and John, who were settled at Ipswich some time before 1638, were probably the sons mentioned above. They settled at the 'Hamlet,' now the town of Hamilton. John was a deacon or ruling elder of the First Church. He was freeman 1640, and representative for eight years between that and 1653. By first wife he had children- Mary, John, Susanna, Sarah, and probably others."

  • It is said in the Virginia branch of the Whipple family, that a history of the family from the time of William the Conqueror down to the time of Col. John Wbipple of Prince Rupert's division of the Cavaliers, who emigrated to Virginia in 1662, can be found in the ancient Library at Birmingham, England, where the Dugdale and Thorpe MSS. are deposited, which manuscripts give a full account of the aristocratic Colonial families, and were collected by G. P. R. James while British consul at Norfolk, Virginia.
  • This history relates, it is further said, that the Whipple family originated with Henri De V : Hippie, a gentleman of Normandy of the Vale de Suere (or Vale de Suede). For his gallantry he was granted the manorial estates of Wraxall — taking the name of Wraxall. Richard Wraxall— that is, Richard de V: Hippie — was knighted on the battlefield of Agincourt, and given the motto : "Fidele et Brave." Leaving Wraxall on account, of persecution, the name of De V: Hippie was resumed. which in the time of Henry VII. (1485-1509), was anglicized into Whipple.
    • In America.
  • "We learn that there were three of the name of Whipple who settled early in New Eneland : Matthew and John (born about 1605), brothers, settled in Ipswich, in that part called the Hamlet, since Hamilton [If these two brothers are identical with Matthew and John Whipple, sons of Matthew Whipple of Bocking, England, good reasons for believing which have been given, both were doubtless born earlier than 1605 ; Matthew must have been of age in 1616, when appointed executor of his father's will, and was therefore probably born several years before 1595. Matthew died September 8, 1647, and John died June 30, 1669. ages not known.] The other, named David, settled In Rhode Island on a hill called Study Hill [No connection between him and the Ipswich family has been traced]"
  • "Matthew Whipple settled early in Ipswich Hamlet: (Land was granted to him in 1638. His house was sold July 10, 1647, to John Annable, tailor.— J. B. Felt.) His will, dated 3m. 7d., 1645 [of which an abstract is printed in the "Antiquarian Papers," Ipswich, Mass., April 1884], is on record at the Register of Deeds for the county of Essex, in which he mentions his eldest son, John, sons Matthew and Joseph, and daughters [Mary — see abstract] Anna and Elizabeth. He leaves to his eldest, John, one half of his estate; the other half to his two youngest sons Matthew and Joseph. He left wife Rose (Chute?), whom he married (Nov. 13. 1646 ?). His children were by a former wife. He died September 8, 1647."
  • ("A brief Genealogy of the Whipple family," Lowell, Mass , 1857, page 3.)
    • Elder John Whipple.
  • Elder John Whipple, great great grand-father of General William Whipple, "resided at the Hamlet [part of Ipswich, now Hamilton, Mass.], and was Deacon and Ruling Eider of the First Church. [Edward Johnson (in his" Wonder-Working Providence", London, 1654, reprinted in 'Massachusetts Historical Collections", 2d series) "mentions Mr. Whipple" (Vol. IV. , page 25), "as 'one, whose godly sincerity is much approved.' " — "Felt's Ipswich," page 159.] He and his brother Matthew sustained various offices of trust. He was born about 1605 [or earlier — see above] "
  • .... etc.
  • "He had two wives, [Sarah (wife of John Whipple) who died June 14, 1658, stated in "Felts Ipswich" page 159, to have been the wife of Elder John Whipple, was probably the wife of his nephew John, — "Whipple Genealogy", pp. 4, 13] his children were by his first wife. His will is dated May 10, 1669 ; his son Cornet John, Executor."
  • "He left a widow Jennett (first husband Thomas Dickinson) whose will is on record at the Probate Office, Suffolk, Vol. 11, page 85, and children John, Susannah, relict of Lionel Worth, Mary Stone, Sarah Goodhue, and Anthony Potter, son-in-law." ["Savage" adds a daughter "Elizabeth", who, he says "married perhaps Anthony Potter."]
  • Sarah, just mentioned, "married Joseph Goodhue [of Ipswich], July, 1661, died July 23, 1681".
