  • Notes 
    • SOURCE: John Osborne Austin, _Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island (A l bany, N.Y., 1887; reprinted. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 19 78 ) p. 223. Lists Christopher's birth (to Joseph and Alice (Smith) Whipp le ) 6 Mar 1707.

      NAME: 10th sibling also had name Christopher.

      SOURCE: Henry E. Whipple, A Brief Genealogy of the Whipple Families Wh o S ettled in Rhode Island (Providence: A. Crawford Greene, 1873), p. 39 . Giv es Christopher's birth (to Joseph and Alice (Smith) Whipple) in Mar ch 170 6. On page 19, the author states that it was this Christopher wh o marrie d a Sarah Whipple, who (after Christopher died, leaving Sara h a widow) su bsequently married Ezekiel Whipple, the son of Daniel). (Se e MARRIAGE no t e below, which seems to contradict Henry's conclusion.)

      SOURCE: Dean Crawford Smith, The Ancestry of Emily Jane Angell, 1844-19 1 0 (Boston: NEHGS, 1992), p. 474. Gives birth on 6 Mar 1706/7, to Alic e Sm ith and Joseph Whipple, citing James N. Arnold, 2:1:256.

      SOURCE: James N. Arnold, Vital Record of Rhode Island, 1636-1850, Vol . 2 , Providence, Part 1 (Providence, R.I.: Narragansett Historical Pub . Co. , 1892), p. 256. Records Christopher's birth 6 Mar 1606-7, to Josep h an d Alice Whipple.

      Marriage: Was it really this Christopher Whipple whose wife Sarah Whipp l e later married Ezekiel? [No, even though] Henry E. Whipple (A Brief Ge ne alory of the Whipple Families) thinks so. N. Combs, in a note to the W hip ple Website dated 28 Mar 2003, points out that volume 15 of Arnold' s Vita l Record of Rhode Island (the one that indexes marriages from th e Provide nce Gazette), records the marriage of Mrs. Sarah Whipple, wido w of Christ opher, and Ezekiel Whipple, at North Providence. However, Nor ma further s tates that Arnold's Vital Record of Rhode Island 2:4:43, "re cords the M a ch 6, 1785 marriage between Christopher Whipple, of Thomas , dec'd. an d Sarah Cushing, of Elijah, dec'd."
