Other Whipple Websites

• Quakertown Online. Although not exclusively a Whipple website, the descendants of Samuel Whipple (including great grandson Samuel and great great grandson Noah) are a significant part of Quakertown, in Ledyard, Connecticut. Among the site's many useful resources are the full text of The Battle-Axe by Timothy Watrous, Sr., and sons (ca. 1810), as well as Anna Williams's chapter on the history of Quakertown from The Rogerenes (1904).
• The Political Graveyard. Besides including a page entitled Index to Politicians: Whipple, the site lists "occupants" of numerous graveyards throughout the U.S.
• The Gaspee Virtual Archives and Gaspee Days web sites have information about Commodore Abraham Whipple's role in the burning of H.M.S. Gaspee--before the official outbreak of America's Revolutionary War with Great Britain.
• The Whimple History Society (www.whimple.org) from Whimple, Old England, presents a compelling argument that the name Whipple means other than "white stream". Under archives-Placenames Background, it asserts that Whipple probably should have been interpreted as "fair" or "fine" stream.
