!SOURCE: Descendancy chart from Scott Russell (email hidden) to the Whipple Website, 10 Nov 1998. Gives name Robert Sterry.

!SOURCE: Email from N. Combs to the Whipple Website, 13 Apr 2003. Cites Walter Burgess Sterry, The Sterry Family (1973), which gives Robert's birth on 5 Jun 1711 in Preston, New London, Connecticut and the marriage of Lydia Olney to Robert Sterry in Providence, Rhode Island on 7 Sep 1742. Also cites Vital REcord of Rhode island, 1636-1850, 14: 307, which gives Robert's death in Providence on 20 Apr 1789. Sterling's North Burial Ground, Providence, RI: Old Section, 1700-1848, p. 147 gives Robert's burial in the North Burial Ground in Providence.

!SOURCE: Email from N. Combs to the Whipple Website, 13 Apr 2003. Cites The Sterry Family book: "The Providence Vital Records (1: 119) reveal that in 1739 Robert, a widower of almost two years, fathered an illegitimate child by Amey Potter, daughter of William and Martha (Tillinghast) Potter; Amey evidently kept the child when marrying a couple of years later."
