Notes - !SOURCE: Email from Liz Bennett (email hidden) to the Whipple Website, 3 Oct 2012. She writes: "I am researching John Whipple, whom I believe is my ancestor. Based on numerous genealogies and the fact that he was born in Coventry, RI in 1778, I believe this John Whipple was married to Sophia Potter, also of Coventry, RI (marriage date 10/30/1802 per online genealogies). They appear to have had at least one daughter in Coventry, Almira, in 1805. She is mentioned in the Gove book (along with parents John and Sophia). John shows up in the 1810 and 1820 census residing in Stamford, VT where they had my ggg grandmother, Susan Whipple Walden, in 1820/1. They moved to the Berkshires, MA (Adams and Clarksburg). Sophia Whipple appears in the 1840 and 1850 census without John, so an 1836 date of death is consistent with the records I have. I'd like to know if anyone has any additional information regarding John Whipple and wife Sophia Potter."
!SOURCE: Email from Beverly H (email hidden) to Weldon Whipple, 24 May 2020. Cites The Gove Book, William Henry Gove, 1922 and NEHGS First Baptist Church records of North Adams, census and birth records. "Almira was baptized at the First Baptist Church of North Adams Massachusetts. She was dismissed 1821 when the family moved. I found a birth record Dec 26, 1805 in Coventry. She married Nathan Gove Jr. on Dec 26, 1819 as his second wife and moved to South Adams. (If that date is correct she married him very young.)"
