    Dea. Simon Stone ..., born in Boxted, co. Essex, England about 1630, was brought to New England by his parents in 1635. He was brought up as a farmer on the paternal homestead at Mount Auburn in Watertown, Mass., to which he succeeded on his father's death in 1665... [He] married about 1655, Mary Whipple, born in Bocking, co. Essex, England, about 1634, daughter of Elder John and Susanna (--------) Whipple, and when a child brought to New England, by her parents. Her father, Elder John Whipple was baptized at Bocking, 29 Aug. 1596, son of Matthew and Joanna (--------) Whipple, was a clothier ... emigrated with his children to New England about 1638 and settled in Ipswich, Mass.

    !SOURCE: Mail from Dean Roe to the Whipple Web Site, October 1997: "He was brought up as a farmer on the parents' homestead at Mount Auburn in Watertown, Mass. (Now the site of the Auburn Cemetery near Harvard University). Upon his father's death, in 1665, he took over the Auburn Homestead. In 1662 he became proprietor of lands in Groton, Mass., totaling 88 acres, which were recorded 17 Feb 1670/1; these lands he eventually settled on his two eldest sons, Simon and John Stone, who located there. But Deacon Simon Stone always resided on the Auburn homestead in Watertown, and became more prominent in local public affairs than his father had been. From 1672 to 1679 (inclusive) he was elected a selectman; in 1672, 1673, 1676, 1677, 1679, 1681, 1682, 1684, 1687, and 1690, he was deputy for Watertown to Massachusetts General Court. In his later years he was a deacon of the Watertown Church. "During his lifetime, Deac. Simon Stone divided all his property, both real and personal, among his large family of children, giving the homestead at Mount Auburn to his youngest child, Ens. Jonathan Stone, and a hundred acre farm adjoining on the west to another son David Stone; so at his death he left no will and no administration was taken out of his estate. He had conveyed a farm (55 acres) to Simon Coolidge on 3 Feb 1668/9, in Wtertown (now Weston), late of the widow and heirs of Henry Greene, clerk, deceased. His farm was bounded east by Benjamin Wellington, south by Nathaniel Coolidge, west by Robert Jennison, and north by Samuel Hyde, Sen. (Middlesex County Deeds, vol. 3, fol. 336.)"

    !RESIDENCES: "John Whipple's house, which is one of the most famous homes of its period and locale, was built on a lot formerly belonging to Mr. John Fawn, who received a grant of a house lot recorded 13 January 1637. He had previously received a grant of a six-acre tillage lot in December 1634, and since tillage lots were granted only to house owners, we may infer that he acquired both at the earlier date. Mr. Fawn built a house on the lot, which he sold in December 1638. Franklin Waters in _Puritan Homes_ says that the present John Whipple house cannot possibly be the same structure erected by Mr. Fawn, for Elder John left 'an humble estate.' The estate of his son, Captain John Whipple, was inventoried at 3,314 pounds, and therefore the present house must have been built between 1669 and 1683. At what exact date John Whipple took possession of the Fawn house is not certain, but the town records state that he was living there in 1642." --D.V. Norris, p. 6.

    !SOURCE: Email from Blaine Whipple to Allan Lewis, 16 Jun 2004. Blaine writes:
    John Whipple's first marriage is not listed in St. Mary's parish register. Some genealogists have identified his wife as Sarah Hawkins, others as Susannah Stacy or Clark. It seems more plausible to this author that it was Susannah Stacy or Clark.

    Hawkins has been proposed by those who claim that the Whipple brothers married Hawkins sisters. Sarah and Anne Hawkins were married in Bocking in1622: Anne to Matthew Whipple on May 7 and Sarah to William Coppin on September 26. Their brother, John Hawkins, Jr,. by will dated September 3, 1633 (proved October 18) made a bequeath to "my sister Whipple." Hawkins' used names and identifying terms throughout the will: wife Sara, children John, Robert, Sara, Margaret, Mary, Judith, mother Mary, brother Francis, sisters (by married name) Kent, Edes, Archer and Whipple, and brother-in-law John Kent. To be consistent, if he had two sisters who married Whipple men, he would have distinguished be-tween them.

    That John married Susannah Stacy is suggested by Elizabeth Stace's (Stacy) 1670 nuncupative will made in Ipswich, Mass., her daughter Ann Stacy's will in 1681-82, and a letter written by John Whipple's daughter Sarah in 1681 to her husband Joseph Goodhue.

    Elizabeth married Simon Stacy, Sr. a clothier from Bocking November 6, 1620. Her maiden name was Clerke which may have evolved into Clark. The Stacy's immigrated at the same time as Matthew and John Whipple and Simon was granted "six acres of planting ground beyond the swamps next to John Whipple" in 1638. Elizabeth's verbal will, proved 29 March 1670, was expressed by her to her children Simon, Sarah, and Ann. In that will, She referred to her cousin John Whipple [Jr.]. Ann Stacy names her brother Simon Jr. and sister Sarah in her will dated February 13, 1681-2 and appointed "my cuzen John Whipple [Jr.] senior executor". Whipple later presented the inventory of the estate to the court.5 In anticipation of death (she died a week later), Sarah Whipple wrote a letter to her husband deacon Joseph Goodhue on July 14, 1681 suggesting her husband give their 2-year-old son John to "her cuzen Simon Stacy" to raise after her death.

    At that time, in addition to meaning the children of your aunt or uncle, cuzen was used to claim kinship or a relationship, hence the conclusion that Elder John Whipple's wife was either a sister of Simon Stacy or his wife Elizabeth Clerke (Clark). Other Whipple-Stacy relationships are suggested by the fact that seven of the 12 persons named as heirs to Simon Stacy Jr.'s estate sold their rights to Col. Francis Wainwright of Ipswich, husband of "cuzen John Whipple's" daughter Sarah. Also, Matthew, Jonathan, and James Whipple, grandsons of Matthew Whipple, were in possession of land in 1709 that had belonged to Thomas Stacy, son of Simon Stacy, Sr.
