- !SOURCE: Email from Anne Billeter (email hidden) to Weldon Whipple, 29 Oct 2022. Cites/notes the following:
- Birth: In the first land record found for Joseph Whipple recorded in Montgomery County, New York he is “Joseph R. Whipple”: U.S., Land Records, 1630-1975, Montgomery, Deeds, 1837-1838, v. 42-43; v. 43, p. 448, film 506514, image 515, familysearch.org
- Censuses, New York, Montgomery, Canajoharie (Ancestry.com):

- New York, United States, Wills and Probate Records, 1659-1999, Montgomery, General Index, 1787-1905 Wills, V. 1, 1787-1910, General Index to Wills and Proceedings, p. 225, film 506564, image 230 of 524, familysearch.org
- U.S. New York Land Records, 1630-1975, Montgomery, Deeds, 1846-1847, v. 53-54, film 506520, image 273
- Children: in 1865 census Joseph Whipple reported that he had had 7 children and been married twice and was currently widowed. Daughter Mary (Whipple) Robert’s obituary states: “Besides her husband and one sister, Mrs. Mercy Bullock, the last of a family of six daughters, a number of nephews survive.” [source: Obituary, Canajoharie Courier, Canajoharie, New York, 22 Feb 1898, Canajoharie_NY_Courier_1897-1899_00402.pdf, https://fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html ] From the children’s birthdates and Rebecca’s probable age, I believe all of the children were the first wife’s.
