Gives birth 1660 in Providence, R. I. (Dat e previously entered as about 1658.) SOURCE: Reprint of the "Brown genealogy of 1851," Submitted to the Whipp l e Website by Ian Mackie, 20 Oct 2003. Birth: Dick Weber, in a printout from the Sprague Database dated 7 Nov 1 9 97, citing Robert Charles Anderson's "The Great Migration Begins: Immig ra nts to New England, 1620-1623" (Boston: New England Historic Genealogi ca l Society, 1995), p. 1973, gives birth date of "about 1658." Judith Wh ipp le gives birth date 1660. The 1665 date given by some sources seems l ate , especially if compared to a marriage date of "about 1772" given b y othe r sources. SOURCE: Email from Charles M. Whipple Jr. to Weldon Whipple, 26 Jan 200 5 . Charles notes the following regarding Abaigail's birth date: As far as Abigail's birth is concerned, it undoubtedly occurred earli e r than 1660. Austin does not know her date, page 223. And Henry E. Whip pl e states 1665, as it known to be much too late seeing that she was mar rie d around 1672. Again the best source for the 1657/58 date is from [Ro ber t C.] Anderson, [The Great Migration Begins, Immigrants to New Englan d, 1 620-1633 (Boston: NEHGS, 1995)] 1972-3. The absence of a christenin g dat e from Dorchester likely resulted from the family's religious heter odoxy , and/or was due to the below. James Blake, Annals of the Town of Dorchester (Boston: David Clapp, 18 4 6) 1:20. "The Records of Births and deaths that was before this year (1 65 7/58) is said to be accidentally burnt in Thomas Millit's house, and s o a ll was lost, yet a few families that kept the Account of their childr en s births, entered them into the next Book of the Records of births." C onc eivably, a possibility of faulty memory and/or error by the church cl erk , could explain much error that has been found regnant in the genealo gie s of several Dorchester families of that time.
