!SOURCE: Email from email hidden to Weldon Whipple, 25 Mar 2005. Cites the following biography of Robert Nesbitt (from Biographical Review, Biographical Sketches of the Leading Citizens of Delaware County, NY, 1895, anon. pg 148):
The youngest of these sons, Robert, is the special subject of this sketch, and was named after an uncle. He grew up like any other lads of the neighborhood, working on the home farm and attending the districtr school. A year after he came of age he learned carpentry under Hector Cowan, and in 1849 he began for himself the business which for fisteen years he carried on uninterruptedly. . . In September 1868 he married. The bride was Jane Whipple, a daughter of Daniel Whipple and Maria (Chamberlain) Whipple. Daniel Whipple was born in the Green Mountain State [this would be VT] and his wife in Roxbury, Delaware County. Not only was he a successful farmer, but a tanner also, a trade much in demand in a new country. His declining years were spent in Kortright, where he died at the age of eighty-seven, his wife passing away at the age of sixty-six. They had ten children, of whom eight survived; and the family belonged to the Methodist body. Mr. Whipple was a Republican in politics.
