Cites Westfield (NY) Republican, 8 Oct 1884, p. 2, col. 3 [mid-column] (marriage); New York State Census, 1892 (inferred spouse); 1900 U.S. Census of Sheridan Township (southern part), Chautauqua, New York. !SOURCE: Email from Boyd Nielsen (email hidden) to Weldon Whipple, 1 Jun 2020. Cites the following synopsis: John A. Whipple and Laurentia Bumpus, a childless married couple of Forestville, a village next to Hanover, Chautauqua, New York, take in a young ( less than 8 years old ) girl named Hattie, about 1870 - 1875. Hattie is subsequently known as "Hattie Whipple". Laurentia died at home 19 February 1883, leaving then 16 year old Hattie living alone with her "adoptive father", John A. Whipple ( 1819 - 1909 ). Hattie turned 17 years old on 20 June 1883. Hattie left John’s home about 01 September 1883, pregnant, sheltering at the county poor house. Hattie’s guardian ad litem, George Higgs, entered a civil lawsuit 20 October 1883 against John Whipple in New York Supreme Court, Chautauqua County ( Case No. 19083 ) seeking compensation for the pregnancy 64 year old John forced upon then 17 year old Hattie in July - August 1883. John and Hattie apparently settled out of court, John marrying Hattie before the child, a son, John A. Whipple, Junior ( “Alfred” ) was born in March 1884. A second child, a girl, Alice, was born in October 1885. The family lived together for at least 17 years, parting before 1905, possibly subsequent to the 1904 death of Hattie and John’s first born. Father and son are buried near each other amongst other Whipple graves in Abbey Cemetery, Arkwright, Chautauqua, New York. The search for Hattie and Alice continues KEY POINTS FROM NY SUPREME COURT, CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY CASE NO. 19083 "Hattie Whipple an infant by her Guardian ad litem George Higgs vs John Whipple" Hattie’s natural parents are unnamed, presumed dead. Hattie’s birth place is unstated. Hattie came to the John Whipple family in "the Village of Forestville in [ Chautauqua ] county" as a young girl, took on "Whipple" as her surname. Hattie was 17 years old on 20 June 1883. Hattie has no general guardian, petitions the court to appoint a guardian ad litem. Hattie considers John Whipple to be an adoptive father only, not “her own man”. John Whipple’s wife [ Laurentia Bumpus ] died at home about February 1883. Hattie and John continued living alone in the house after Laurentia’s death. John allegedly forced himself carnally on Hattie without her consent in July and August 1883. Hattie left the house 01 September 1883, "pregnant, and quick with child." Hattie seeks $5,000 in damages and suffering from John Whipple.
