Notes

!RESIDENCES: "The family lives in the middle west." --F.E. Whipple/R. Whipple

!SOURCE: Email from Lynda Ozinga to Weldon Whipple, 23 Sep 2003. Cites the 1930 census of McHenry county, North Dakota. This individual is the father of Edward F. Whipple and grandfather of Francis Whipple (Edward F.'s nephew).

!SOURCE: "Descendants of Nathan Whipple," descendancy chart emailed by N. Combs to Weldon Whipple 27 Jun 2004. Cites the following:

• Census 1: June 20, 1900, Age 58, farmer, marr. 36 yrs., 7/7 children, living Twp. 139, Range 61, Barnes, ND w/wife Margaret 58, sons George M. 22 & Philanda 15 (Source: 1900 Census, Twp. 139, Barnes, ND, 108.)
• Census 2: April 27, 1910, Age 68, farmer, living Sweden, Monroe, NY w/2nd wife Lucy Kelly 46 (Source: 1910 Census, Sweden, Monroe, NY, 117.)
• Census 3: January 02, 1920, Age 77, living Flora, Benson, ND w/son William & his family (Source: 1920 Census, Flora, Benson, ND, 25.)
• Military service: Bet. October 25, 1861 - July 15, 1862, Civil War: enlisted as pvt. Company A, 96th Infantry Regiment NY; promoted cpl. 5/1/1862; deserted 7/15/1862 (Source: Historical Data Systems, comp., Military Records of Individual Civil War Soldiers, "Electronic.")

One interesting thing I found from the Civil War records--Jonah Whipple, Edward's father, deserted from his company on 15 July 1862. As Jonah married in Canada in abt 1863, it is probable that he went there soon after deserting. All his children except the youngest were born in Canada, the family apparently remaining there until 1882 when they relocated to ND. (I could find no information on Ruth Whipple, but census records indicated that Jonah and Margaret had seven children.)
