"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!

"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." --

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.
