"There is confusion as to when John Junior was christened. John Whipp l e Junior was christened on 1 November 1641. His mother Sarah 'Goodwif e Wh ipple,' which was one of the lowest social class designations, was a dmitt ed to the Dorchesteurch 29 October 1641. Because only children of c hurc h members could be christened/baptized, John Junior, who was over tw o yea rs old by then, was finally permitted to receive the sacrament 3 da ys lat er. Their second Child was christened three months later. It is no t know n why Sarah was so tardy in becoming a member of the church. Recor ds of t he 1st chuch of Dorchester 1636-1743, page 6"

TITLE: Previously this John's rank was entered as Captain. Changed to En s ign on 18 Jan 2005, after receiving a note from Charles M. Whipple, Jr . , stating that they "have been unable to locate the source of the ran k o f 'Captain' for John Whipple Jr. (368). The only military rank we'v e foun d is in a letter from John Sanford to John Whipple Jr., 15 Nov. 16 86, RIH S manuscript 9003, V:27, where John Junior was addressed as 'Ensi gn.'"
SOURCE: Email from Charles M. Whipple Jr. to Weldon Whipple, 26 Jan 200 5 . Charles writes the following regarding John's birth:
The best source for the (Nov. 1) date for John is Robert C. Anderson , T he Great Migration Begins, Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633 (Bost on : NEHGS, 1995) 1972-3. The date of his birth was "3 days after his mot her 's baptism," she beiaptized 29 Oct 1641. Records of the First Churc h at D orchester, 1636- 1734, lists his birth as "9-1-41". This Translate s fro m the old Puritan calendar to Nov. 1.
SOURCE: Mail from Charles M. Whipple, Jr., to Weldon Whipple, 8 Dec 200 6 . Adds birth year (1639), citing Early Records of the Town of Providenc e , XVII:53-4: "On 24 Nov 1684, John junior made a declaration that he w a s 45 years old at the time, making his date of birth 1639." His parent s l ikely married in 1638 or earlier.
