Notes
!SOURCE: Email from Neil Whipple (email hidden) to Weldon Whipple, 20
Oct 2024. Neil has been researching this family, including bible records and
the book "Whipple Line" by Mrs. L.E. Freeman (cited below). He writes the
following:- Manna "Nancy" Whipple was most likely born in Brattleboro,
Vermont (although Vermont did not exist at the time as the provinces of New
Hampshire and New York were in the middle of a land dispute over the region).
The second most likely place of birth would be Deerfield, Massachusetts (a few
miles down river from Brattleboro). She almost certainly was not born in
Canada. Nor was she born in Boston, although she had a son the was living in
Boston many years later.
- Manna's older sister (by 17 years), Lucy
Whipple, married a man named Oliver Wells. Oliver was the son of Samuel Wells,
who was probably the most powerful man in Brattleboro in the years leading up
to the Revolutionary War in the 1770s. History notes that Samuel Wells
remained loyal to the British throughout the war (and may have served as a
spy), so life after the British defeat would have been difficult. But the
extended Wells family remained in Brattleboro for many years after war. When
the once wealthy and powerful Samuel Wells died in 1786, his estate owed more
than its value. It took a few years to settle affairs, but in 1798 all of his
children were offered land in Canada by the British Government to repay their
father Samuel Wells for his support in the war years. They all moved to
Canada, including Oliver Wells and Lucy (Whipple) Wells with a large family of
young children.
- I suspect that Manna (who would have been 23 years old
and the time) moved to Canada with her sister and several others connected to
the large Wells family. The land grant of land by the British was in the
township of Farnham, Missisquoi County, Quebec (not far from Montreal) and
represented 15,600 acres of land. Mannaus mother-in-law was Abigail Nash.
Several of the last name Nash were included in the pioneers of Farnham
Township.
- In addition to Lucy and Manna, their brother Daniel and
members of his family also moved away from Brattleboro at about this same time
to near Buffalo, NY. For you see, the father of Lucy, Manna, and Daniel had
been the High Sheriff Daniel Whipple in the area surrounding Brattleboro under
commission of King George III. This Sheriff Daniel Whipple was closely tied to
Samuel Wells in the early 1770s, although he was removed from his position as
sheriff a few years before the war. So his family would probably not have been
loyal to the British.
!SOURCE: L.D.S. Ancestral File (Internet). Gives birth "<Boston, ,
Massachusetts>" Gives name Manna Whipple.
!SOURCE: "Whipple Line" by Mrs. L.E. Freeman (Houston Public Library), cited 27
Mar 2024. Adds nickname Nancy.
!SOURCE: Email from Beverly H (email hidden) to Weldon Whipple, 14 Nov
2018. Gives name Nancy "Anna" Whipple. Cites the following:
- Genealogical
History of the Hoyt, Haight, and Hight Families, David W. Hoyt.
1871.
- Athol, Massachusetts, Past and Present, By Lilley Brewer Caswell,
1899
- A History of Deerfield, Massachusetts: The Times when the People
..., Volume 2. By George Sheldon 1896
- A Genealogical History of John
Hoyt of Salisbury and David Hoyt of Deerfield, Davied W. Hoyt, 1857
- The
History of the Pollard Family in American, Maurice Pollard, 1964
She
writes:I have not been able to determine the ancestry of Nancy
Whipple. I think perhaps Nancy may have also been a nickname for Anna or
Hannah or some other name. I have seen reference to Nancy having been born in
either Brattleboro or Lower Canada and married in Missiquoi Quebec Canada but
I cannot verify that info in fact. One of the book sources below published in
1857 indicates that Ebenezer did spend the first three years of his marriage
in Enosburg VT and then Farnham, Lower Canada during the War of 1812 and that
two of their children died in Canada. Further, that they returned to
Deerfield MA after the death of a daughter in 1815. I have corresponded with a
descendant of Daniel Whipple and Mary Pollard and she indicates that they did
have a daughter named Nancy and that at least one other of their daughters was
born in Lower Canada. I think this may be the one you have as (M)anna Whipple b
1775.
