In my latest book, [Captain John and Sarah Whipple....] on pages 84 an d 8 8, I indicate that John Whipple III sold his father's home lot, whic h Joh n Junior inherited from his father in 1663, to his uncle Col. Josep h Whip ple 21 July 1705. Actually he sold (quitclaimed) the property to h im o n 8 Feb. 1708-9 (according to The Early Records of Providence on pag e 274 .) The 1705 date was an apparent mortgage to Joseph. The records ar e conf using, but I believe this to be the accurate account.

"There is confusion as to when John Junior was christened. John Whipp l e Junior was christened on 1 November 1641. His mother Sarah 'Goodwif e Wh ipple,' which was one of the lowest social class designations, was a dmitt ed to the Dorchesteurch 29 October 1641. Because only children of c hurc h members could be christened/baptized, John Junior, who was over tw o yea rs old by then, was finally permitted to receive the sacrament 3 da ys lat er. Their second Child was christened three months later. It is no t know n why Sarah was so tardy in becoming a member of the church. Recor ds of t he 1st chuch of Dorchester 1636-1743, page 6"

The date of his birth was "3 days after his mot her 's baptism," she beiaptized 29 Oct 1641. Records of the First Churc h at D orchester, 1636- 1734, lists his birth as "9-1-41".
