Alice Whipple was the fifth daughter and seventh Child of Capt. Jo b a n d S ilence (Pray) Whipple. Genealogists have spent days and hours u ncov er in g the genealogical and unhappy story that Alice Whipple endure d dur in g he r short life. We have to go to the Vital Records of Glouces ter, P rovi denc e County RI. in Chepachet to uncover the facts. The reco rds rev eal t hat a t the age of eighteen, as reported by Alice, she go t involve d wit h Abraha m Angell, a young man and cousin of hers, unde r the age o f twent y-one. Th e result was an illegitimate male Child bor n to her, a s an unwe d mother. The birth date of the son is not given i n the vital s tatistic s of Smith field-Gloucester, but we found it was r ecorded in th e Archive s of the R.I. State House, being July 17th, 1733 . The date is c orrect ac cording to la ter research.

The deed having been done, Alice's father, Capt. Job Whipple, quickl y t o o k action by filing a Law Suit against Abraham Angell as the fathe r o f t h e newborn Child. The Warrant called for his Arrest and Judgemen t a s th e P arent of Alice's newborn Child. The court papers are date d 8 Sep t. 17 33, 20 Nov. 1733, and Dec. 1733. The documents filed are fo und in V ita l Rec. Vol. 4 1734 in the State House of RI. When they got A ngell int o c ourt t he charge of Paternity was denied by Abraham Angel l and he con vinc ed th e Judge that he was not a resident of Smithfiel d and thus th e charg e wa s invalid. In the confusion, the case was thro wn out of Cour t and th e Pat ernity case was lost.

Alice having lost the Paternity case, she now named her son "Job Whipp l e . Capt. Job and Silence, however, reared the boy after he was 2 o r 3 ye a r s old, when his mother died in 1736. Capt. Job in his will i n 1750 ne v ert heless refers to the son of Alice by the name, "Abraham A ngell", us in g th is name as an irate grandfather expressing his righteo us indignat io n of t he whole affair.

So this explains how, "Job Whipple", a blood relative, became our Whipp l e ancestor.
