"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

V. Inquiries Relating to the
Ancestors and Descendants of Job Whipple, of Cumberland, Rhode Island, and Greenwich,

- Discusses Job Whipple (30 Mar 1749-18 Sep 1822), who married Freelove
Carpenter, and his ancestors and descendants. After nearly persuading the reader that this
Job is the same person as the Job
who appears in the WhippleGenWeb with a birth date of 15 Mar 1752, he offers an alternate
(and more convincing?) hypothesis that Job is the son of Ephraim Whipple, and half
brother of Marmaduke.
(Marmaduke--a Rhode Island Whipple--married Wealthy Whipple--an Ipswich Whipple.)

"Frances Harriet Whipple (1805-1878) was born in Smithfield, Rhode
Island. Although descended from two of the state's foremost families, her
father's sudden impoverishment forced her to support herself from a young
age as a writer and editor. Her impressive oeuvre includes poetry, essays
advocating temperance and the abolition of slavery, a worker's journal, and
one of the few published narratives about a free black woman, The Memoirs
of Elleanor Eldridge.
"After leaving Providence for New York in her
middle years, Whipple became devoted to Spiritualism. She wrote for numerous
spiritualist publications and penned the biography of clairvoyant healer
Semantha Mettler. She also produced a lengthy antislavery work, a satirical
epistolary novel called Shamah in Pursuit of Freedom, or; the Branded
Hand. Whipple left the East Coast for California in 1861, where she
became a medium, speaking and writing antislavery messages that she said
were dictated to her from the spirit world. Still interested in workers'
rights, she served briefly on the board of the first female typographical
union in San Francisco.
"O'Dowd, deftly contextualizing her analysis of Whipple's key works in
nineteenth-century politics and culture, has created a fascinating portrait
of a woman well ahead of her time." --Back cover

"Third in a series of 21st century books on the Whipple Families of
America."
Dorchester (part of present-day Boston) is about 39 miles from Ipswich on
today's highways. One wonders why it has taken this long for a book about
John Whipple of Dorchester (who arrived there from England at the age of 17
in 1632) to acknowledge the existence of the two Whipple brothers that
settled in nearby Ipswich in 1638. (One of those other Whipples--also named
John and called "The Elder"--has been so hopelessly confused with
the Dorchester John in so many genealogical databases around the world, that
one wonders if the inaccuracies will ever be set straight) We can hope that
this book--together with Blaine Whipple's volumes on "Elder"
John and Matthew
Whipple of Ipswich--will clear up that confusion once and for all!

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. (Note: For those of you
who are wondering ... 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 in which William lived.
Subsequent chapters are allotted for each generation between William and the
author, with a final chapter for Charles' son, Chris.
