Heritage of Faith : A Chronicle of the Otis and Julia Whipple Family. 2nd ed. -- Enumclaw, WA : Pleasant Word, 2006. -- 699 p.
ISBN: 1-4141-0735-8
"This book is about the Otis and Julia Whipple family--people whose lives and experiences reflect unusual hardships and joys not common for most. It is a story of men and women who committed their lives to God's service as missionaries in China and as Christian leaders on the home front. Family letters and journals, miraculously preserved through the World War II years, give detailed accounts of missionary life in China and the faithful support and prayers of those at home. Here we have a record of births and deaths, of marriages and mission assignments, of living in the midst of political upheaval, bombings, war, internment camp, and miraculous deliverance." -- Foreword

Charles M. Whipple Jr. is pleased to announce the publication of his latest Whipple genealogy, by Trafford Publishing in Victoria, British Columbia:

A History of William Whipple of Dorchester, Massachusetts and Smithfield, Rhode Island : His Antecedents and Descendants, 1652-1712. -- Victoria, B.C. : Trafford, 2006.
ISBN: 1-4120-9304-X.

The William Whipple referenced in the title is the sixth child (fourth son) of the Captain John Whipple who settled in Dorchester (part of modern-day Boston), Massachusetts in 1632 at age 17, after sailing from England to the New World. (No, this isn't the William Whipple that signed the Declaration of Independence.) William is the author's 6th great grandfather.

The third chapter of the book is devoted to William. It follows the groundwork laid in the first two chapters, which are devoted to William's father, Captain John, and the 17th-century milieu into which William was born. Subsequent chapters are allotted for each generation between William and the author, with a final chapter for Charles' son, Chris.

Trafford (the publisher), prints "editions of one" as each order is received. Order your copy by visiting the book's link at Trafford Publishing
