    • !SOURCE: John Osborne Austin, _Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island (Albany, N.Y., 1887; reprint ed. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1978) p. 222.

      !SOURCE: John Whipple Hill, _Genealogical Notes of the Whipple-Hill Families_ (Chicago: Fergus, 1897), p. 34. Gives birth place and date. "Died young." The "died young" claim is contradicted by email from Joanne Lahr-Kreischer to Weldon Whipple, 22 May 1999. She gives this David as the father of Silas Whipple.

      !SOURCE: Post to the Whipple Website Facebook group, 6 Jan 2019. He writes:
      When David Whipple (1674-1755) died in New London 30 Oct 1755, Joshua Hempsted writes in his DIARY: "...old David Whipple died aged 80 odd." The next day, 31 Oct he writes: "...old Whipple buryed." Also, the New London Vital Records name "David" Whipple as Father of Jonathan Whipple (who married Elizabeth Dart), disproving the contentions of some who name a "Jonathan Whipple, Sr." married to an Angell as Jonathan (of New London's) parents.


      !SOURCE: Representative Men and Old Families of Rhode Island (Chicago: J.H. Beers, 1908), 3:1677.

      !CHILDREN: In Email to Joanne Lahr-Kreischer 26 Jul 1999, Greg Bishop (email hiddenom.com) lists four "proposed" children of David. (The first, Rebeckah, is confirmed as David's child by J. Lahr-Kreischer). Greg writes:
      "Based on the records found in the Second Book, New London, I [gb, June 1999] propose the following family group:

      Proposed children of Unknown Whipple (birth dates estimated based on marriage at 20):

      1. Rebeckah, b. roughly 1711, mar. 20 May 1731, John, son of Eleazar and Sarah (Dart) Bishop of New London. Note: John Bishop moved from Connecticut to Kings County, Nova Scotia in 1760/61. The Bishop surname appears prominently in early Horton Township, Kings County, Nova Scotia records.
      2. Anthony, b. roughly 1716, mar. Jane Chapel, 30 Dec. 1736. Note: the Chappel surname appears in early Cornwallis Township, Kings County, Nova Scotia records.
      3. Jeremiah, b. roughly 1721, mar. Hannah Beebe, 8 Oct 1741. Note: Beebe surname appears in Nova Scotia.
      4. Elisabeth, b. roughly 1729, mar. Daniel Eames, 21 Feb. 1749. Note: This could be Elizabeth, d/o Zachariah and Elizabeth Rogers."

      !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. 83-84. Confirms that David's birth was "before 30 Oct 1674"--before the marriage of his parents.
