Thomas Whipple Family
(Thomas was the son of Samuel and grandson of Capt. John, the emigra n t.)

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.
