Notes - !SOURCE: Email from B. Huckins to Weldon Whipple, 10 Aug 2009. "Jabez E. Whipple also has a male child under 10 in the 1810 census in New Salem, Hampshire, MA."
!SOURCE: Email from B. Huckins to Weldon Whipple, 17 Feb 2018. B. Huckins writes:I have Virgil as son of Jabez E. Whipple I10224 and Abigaill Hammond but do not have an actual record for proof. I do have enough circumstantial evidence to convince me of his lineage as follows:
- The obit for Virgil indicates he was born in New Salem, Franklin County, Massachusetts (this is where Jabez was living in the census and where his daughter Augusta was born; additionally, it is where Jabez and his second wife are buried).
- The names of Virgil's children mirror those of others in this line - Welcome - Virgil - Augusta - Jabez - Homer (middle name Ellis which would have been the maiden name of Virgil's grandmother).
- The census indicates Virgil was born in Massachusetts and his obit indicates he came to McHenry County from Massachusetts in 1844.
!SOURCE: Email from B. Huckins to Weldon Whipple, 17 Feb 2018. B. Huckins additionally writes:Virgil H. Whipple born Mar 10, 1810 in New Salem, Franklin, Massachusetts, and married Jane Durant on March 14, 1848 in Illinois. Jane was b abt 1832 in Indiana, daughter of Cornelius Durant of Massachusetts.
Virgil and Jane appear in the census 1850-1880 in Dunhan, McHenry, Illinois which is where he died in 1892.
