In my project to make the pages of the the whipple.org sites more friendly to mobile devices (such as iPhones and Android phones), I revisited a page first posted in 1998–nearly 15 years ago!
It tells of Alice Whipple, the underage daughter of Job and Silence (Pray) Whipple of Rhode Island. (Click here to see the page on the main site.)

Apparently Alice had a son fathered by Abraham Angell, out of wedlock. Alice’s father, Job, tried to make Abraham marry his daughter, but he refused. Father Job then sued Abraham and lost.
It makes for interesting reading (especially when compared to similar events in today’s world.)
I notice that Abraham Angell has no father listed. Another Abraham (Captain Abraham Angell) has an estimated birth date within two years of the first-mentioned Abraham’s estimated birth date. One Abraham died before 1750, the other on 13 Jan 1739.
Are the two Abrahams the same person? I think they might be. What do you think?
