  !SOURCE: Email from William Whipple (email hidden) to the Whipple Website, 15 and 23 Nov 1998. !SOURCE: Email from R. Gilebarto to Weldon Whipple, 7 Nov 2003. Cites gravestone in the Starr Cemetery, Groton, Connecticut: "P. (for Philip) Wendell Whipple June 4, 1918 - Apr 9, 2003 Flora O. (his wife, same stone) Dec 13, 1917 - Dec 4, 1995" !RELATIONSHIP: "Descendant of Capt. John Whipple of Providence, R.I." --Wm. Whipple !NAME: William Whipple writes: "My father has always spelled his name with one 'L' in Philip. I learned tonight for the first time though that the correct spelling has two 'Ls'. His explanation is that as a boy he chose to use one instead of two and it stuck. It would follow that his father's name has two 'Ls' as well." --Wm.
