  • Notes 
    • Alice Whipple was the fifth daughter and seventh Child of Capt. Job an d S ilence (Pray) Whipple. Genealogists have spent days and hours uncover in g the genealogical and unhappy story that Alice Whipple endured durin g he r short life. We have to go to the Vital Records of Gloucester, Prov idenc e County RI. in Chepachet to uncover the facts. The records revea l that a t the age of eighteen, as reported by Alice, she got involved wi th Abraha m Angell, a young man and cousin of hers, under the age of twen ty-one. Th e result was an illegitimate male Child born to her, as an unw ed mother . The birth date of the son is not given in the vital statistic s of Smith field-Gloucester, but we found it was recorded in the Archive s of the R.I . State House, being July 17th, 1733. The date is correct ac cording to la ter research.

      The deed having been done, Alice's father, Capt. Job Whipple, quickly to o k action by filing a Law Suit against Abraham Angell as the father of t h e newborn Child. The Warrant called for his Arrest and Judgement as th e P arent of Alice's newborn Child. The court papers are dated 8 Sept. 17 33 , 20 Nov. 1733, and Dec. 1733. The documents filed are found in Vita l Rec . Vol. 4 1734 in the State House of RI. When they got Angell into c ourt t he charge of Paternity was denied by Abraham Angell and he convinc ed th e Judge that he was not a resident of Smithfield and thus the charg e wa s invalid. In the confusion, the case was thrown out of Court and th e Pat ernity case was lost.

      Alice having lost the Paternity case, she now named her son "Job Whippl e . Capt. Job and Silence, however, reared the boy after he was 2 or 3 ye ar s old, when his mother died in 1736. Capt. Job in his will in 1750 nev ert heless refers to the son of Alice by the name, "Abraham Angell", usin g th is name as an irate grandfather expressing his righteous indignatio n of t he whole affair.

      So this explains how, "Job Whipple", a blood relative, became our Whipp l e ancestor.
