The proof that Abraham4 Whipple of Enfield, Conn., was the son of Th o mas3, Samuel2, Captain John1 has been sought for many years. The follow in g land records of Providence, R.I., and Tolland, Conn., are, therefore , o f especial interest to descendants of this branch of the family.

CHILDREN: According to Clair A. Hemenway Newton, Captain John Whipple, 1 6 17-1685, and His Descendants (Naperville, Ill., 1946), p. 52, Thomas a n d Abigail had three additional children, named Enoch, Daniel and Noah . Ch arles M. Whipple, Jr., in email to Weldon Whipple dated 13 Jan 2005 , sugg ests otherwise. He writes:

I have been diligently searching the records for Noah, Enoch, and Da n iel, the supposed sons of Thomas Senior (636). I am presently writin g o n his history and have entitled it--from the Louquisset Meadows to Th omas ' Pond. I have come to the conclusion that that they never existed . Do yo u know off hand where the present information on the website wa s obtained ? I think Newton took her source from Jillson. I would like t o hypothesiz e what might have happened. The sons of Noah (635) were als o Noah, Enoch , and Daniel. Could it be that they were mistakenly added t o Thomas? .. . McGuigan, (p. 36) the most authoritative source on the Sam uel Whipple f amily I've consulted, does not know of these three sons o f Thomas.

Thomas married Abigail Jenckes in 1692 in Pawtucket, Providence, Rhode Island, United States. Abigail (daughter of Joseph Jenckes, Jr and Esther Ballard) was born in 1676 in Providence, Providence, Rhode Island, United States; died on 12 Mar 1756 in Providence, Providence, Rhode Island, United States; was buried in Rhode Island, United States.
