      SOURCE: Email from Barbara Carroll to Weldon Whipple 29 Jul 2003. Barba r a writes:

      Although the Newport Common Burial Grounds records state that Jose p h (2) is buried there, without a stone, that isn't necessarily the cas e . Just a few words on Newport research, from Vincent F. Luti's "Mall e t & Chisel:Gravestone Carvers of Newport, Rhode Island, in the 18th Cen tu ry," p. 8:

      "Genealogical research on colonial Newport is complicated by t h e poor state of many of the surviving documents, which were damaged dur in g the Revolution. In 1778, after nearly three years of British occupat ion , Newport was under heavy siege. Walter Chaloner, the town sheriff a n d a Tory, fled on a British man-of-war with all the probate records, de ed s, and vital records under his jurisdiction. His ship ran aground in N e w York Harbor. Retrieved from the watery depths, the boxes were left i n s torage for some time. When they were finally unpacked, the extent o f th e damage was revealed. The remnants of the records are now preserve d in b ound volumes at the Newport Historical Society, but the contents o f any g iven page may be from different documents, often of different dat es. Furt hermore, almost all are faded to differing degrees of indecipher ability.. ."

      Fully 1/2 or more of the documents were lost, so it's hard to draw m a ny conclusions in Newport.



      SOURCE: Email from Charles M. Whipple, Jr., to Weldon Whipple, 4 Oct 200 3 . Charles writes: "I am now convinced that Lieutenant Governor Joseph W hi pple Jr. was Anglican not Quaker. I received a reply from Harvard Univ ers ity finally. His son, William, graduated in 1749 at the head of his c lass . His biography notes that he was indeed Church of England as was Co l. Jo seph Whipple, his father. So, although Lieutenant Governor Joseph W hippl e III and his mother, as well as some siblings may have been Quaker s, a t least it is now known that this was indeed a religiously mixed mar riage ."
