- !SOURCE: William Wyman Fiske, "The Whipple Family of Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire: Proposed Ancestral Origin of Matthew Whipple of Bocking, Essex, and a Whipple Ancestral Line for Arthur Gary of Roxbury, Massachusetts," The Genealogist, Vol. 20, No. 2 (Fall 2006), p. 203. The author states the following:
Robert Whaple, clothier of Braintree, may fit into this kindred. He was Churchwarden of Braintree in 1622. Thomas Trotter of London, in his will written 30 Nov. 1631, proved 12 March 1631[/2], names his cousin, Robert Whaple's wife, as well as a legacy to the poor of Bocking to be distributed under the supervision of Matthew Whipple, Lawrence Arthur (Matthew's son-in-law, see below), Isaac Ansell, and John Keightlye. This is presumably the same Robert Whaples of Braintree, clothier, who is named as joint executor in the 1627 will of William Barnard of Braintree, who held land in both Braintree and Bocking. The 1612 Essex Feet of Fines contains the "agreement made between Robert Whaples, plaintiff, and Robert Myerris and Barbara, his wife, deforciants, of one messuage in Braintree, in the county of Essex. The said Robert Myerris and Barbara have acknowledged the said messuage to be the right of the said Robert Whaples as those which he has by their gift and those which they had remised and quitclaimed from themselves and their heirs to the said Robert Whaples and his heirs for ever [in consideration of £41].
