Notes - !SOURCE: David Jillson, "Descendants of Capt. John Whipple, of Providence, R.I.," New-England Historical and Genealogical Register, 32 (1878): 406. Does not give maiden name.
!SOURCE: Email from Joanne Lahr-Kreischer to Weldon Whipple, 2 Nov 2001. Gives Mary's maiden name (Stevens).
!SOURCE: Email from Gene (email hidden) to Weldon Whipple, 24 Jun 2004. Indicates that surname of Stevens is "doubtful." Indicates that her second husband is "probably" James Redway.
!SOURCE: Charles M. Whipple, Jr., Captain John and Sarah Whipple: A Multigenerational Study of the First Whipple Family in America (Victoria, B.C.: Trafford, c2007), p. 194: "William Senior married Mary Ibrook about 1708." (It appears that Charles identifies this individual as Mary Ibrook.)
!SOURCE: Email from Eugene C. Zubrinsky, FASG (email hidden) to the Whipple Website,, 24 Jun 2015. He writes: "While there's no doubt that her forename was Mary, it is highly unlikely that her maiden name was Ibrook (the attribution of which is presumably based on the fact that William and Mary Whipple gave a son that forename). First, Richard Ibrook (Hingham, 1635) had no sons who lived to adulthood (Robert Charles Anderson, _The Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634–1635, Volume IV, I–L_ [Boston, 2005], 1–2). And second, it was on William Whipple’s side of the family that Ibrook appears, as the maiden name of his maternal grandmother, Margaret (Ibrook) Tower, and the forename of her son, Whipple’s maternal uncle, Ibrook Tower (ibid., 2; Charlemagne Tower, _Tower Genealogy: An Account of the Descendants of John Tower, of Hingham, Mass._ [Cambridge, Mass., 1891], 1, 47, 54–55)."
