Katharine Whipple, the daughter of John Whipple and Katherine Leighton, was born 25 August 1685 in Ipswich, and died 16 August 1702 in Ipswich. I found three children born to John and Katherine Whipple in the vital records, and Katharine was the eldest daughter. She was the great grand daughter of Matthew and Jane Whipple, the immigrant ancestors of the Whipples of Ipswich. Matthew Whipple (1560 - 1619) died in Bocking, Suffolk, England and his two sons, John (1595 - 1669) and Matthew Whipple (1588 - 1647) came to Ipswich, and I descend from both of them. Katharine descends from John Whipple and his wife, Susannah Clark.

I don't have my Whipple notes handy, but I know that a man born in 1590 could not possibly have fathered a child in 1588. A correction is in order.
ReplyDeleteYes! You are correct! He was born in 1560, not 1590. Thanks for pointing out the typo. I have corrected that error.
