Brown, Justice of the Peace !SOURCE: Email from Barb and Ray Bass (email hidden) to the Whipple Website, 8 Aug 2012. Includes scanned typescript from the commissioner of the Rev. and 1812 War Section, which (transcribed by Weldon Whipple) reads: Rev. and 1812 War Section July 8, 1925 Mrs. F. O. Struckmeyer 765 E. Portland St Phoenix, Ariz. Madam: I have to advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary pension claim, W. 18391, it appears that Nathan Whipple enlisted in January 1780 and was a private in Captain Samuel Pell's Company, Colonel Philip Van Cortlandt's Second New York Regiment, he was wounded by a bayonet in the left arm at the battle of Yorktown and was discharged in June 1783. He was allowed pension on his application executed April 4, 1818, while a resident of Pownal, Bennington County, Vermont, aged about fifty-eight years. He died January 7, 1832, at Bennington, Vermont. Soldier married in September 1787 at Petersburg, New York (they were both then of said Petersburg). She was born in March 1765 and was allowed pension on her application executed September 5, 1838, while living in Bennington County, Vermont. In 1843, she was living in Charlton, Saratoga County, New York. Their eldest child, Nathan was born January 11, 1789. In 1830, son Daniel was eight years old and in 1838, son John G. was thirty-eight years old and a resident of New York City. Other children are referred to, but no names are stated. Respectfully, Winfield Scott Commissioner. !SOURCE: Email from Ray Bass (email hidden) to the Whipple Website, 15 Aug 2012. He writes: In the 1790 Census, Nathan Whipple 1761-1832 is listed in Stephentown, NY. He has a single male son within the age range of Nathan Whipple, 1789-1860?. Nathan Whipple 1789-1860? was almost certainly born in Stephentown, Rensselaer, NY, and not in Vermont. In the 1830 Censuses for Petersburg, Grafton, and Berlin, NY (all Rensselaer County) - there is only a single Whipple family listed -- in Petersburg. That family was headed by Nathan Whipple. There are two male children listed, one under the age of 5 and one between the ages of 5 and 10. As Henry Whipple is thought to have been born about 1837... neither of the two male children could be him. I firmly believe that one of the two was George W. Whipple, born about 1826-died after 1880. However, as Geo W. is my great great grandfather, I am not quite as objective as I might be on this subject. Except for a short period of 6 weeks when he enlisted in the 31st MA (disharged for medical reasons) George spent his entire life in either Berlin or Petersburg, NY and was born in one or the other town (likely Petersburg. Berlin was created out of Petersburg in 1806 and they are abutting communities.) There were, in fact, two George Whipples living in Petersburg at the time of the outbreak of the Civil War. The second, about 10-15 years younger, was likely born in nearby Grafton, NY and served in the 169th NY (his father was a Stephen Whipple from NH.) !SOURCE: Email from Hugh Hudson (email hidden) to Weldon Whipple, 10 Jul 2013. Cites Mary's gravestone at www.findagrave.com (memorial 22441376). Gravestone reads: "Mary, wife of Nathan Whipple, died June 22, 1852, aged 8[9?] yrs." (Note: Although the photo shows June 22, 1852, it is transcribed as Jun. 22, 1835.) From Mary's petition for pension increase on 20 Sep 1850, we know she was still living on that date.
