    • SOURCE: Henry E. Whipple, A Brief History of the Whipple Families Who Se t tled in Rhode Island (Providence: A. Crawford Greene, 1873), p. 13. I t ap pears that Henry *might* have skipped a generation in his book. Samu el' s children listed on page 13 appear to be his grandchildren--the chil dre n of Samuel Jr. in other sources. Furthermore, the Elizabeth Eddy lis te d as Samuel's wife on page 13 is listed as Samuel's daughter-in-law (w if e of Samuel's son named Samuel) in other sources. (A corrected copy o f th is source in the R.I. Historical Society Library also indicates tha t ther e are major problems with this information.)

      As you will note from my book on Capt. John and family that Samuel was i n deed a most enterprising fellow. Currie was his son-in-law.
