James Whipple, changed to Whippo, b. 1667, in Barnstable, Mass. Decendant Mary said to have "Indian blood" or "Indian ways about her" by family legend. She was born in Hagerstown, MD to James' grandson, George, and his wife Sussanna Osborn. Any family links, especially with anything to substantiate the Native American legend, would be helpful. I would also like to find James' parents, et. al.

Dear AJLF, Hi there. Click on WHIPPLE, I found an actual website for your surname. Maybe if you contact them direct they might have details on your ancestor/s.

Check out the links in the surname wiki page.

Good luck, Al.

Thanks AJ, let me know how you get on. My genealogy is at a standstill at the moment, so I've been on here doing my 'good fairy' bit helping others. Alison.

I have looked many times for Mary Whippo and an Indian connection. My mother-in-law left a very detailed family history (without any internet help) and her records state that Mary Whippo was part Indian. Nearly every fact she had written down has been proved by my internet search.

My husband's family connection is through Mary Whippo and her husband John Rowles and their son Harmon Fagen Rowles.

I would love to know if you have found any other information.

I have since found that "my" George Whippo is not the George Whippo decended from James @ Barnstable, Mass. The George in my tree came to PA from England in 1721 indentured to a Mr. Taylor. He was a Quaker.
