Whipple of Rutland, LaSalle County, IL" [Connecticut Probate Records, 1759-1931, Probate Court (Stafford District), v. 21, p. 71, FHL film 1,320,436, images 65-66] b. 31 Dec 1842 [probably Union, Tolland, CT] [exact date from gravestone at find-a-grave memorial # 93918215][Springdale Cem records say he was born Ashford, Windham, CT (find-a-grave memorial [ 137252155])[Yes, he has 2 find-a-grave memorials] d. 13 Feb 1891 bur.
