My dad, Theodore Whippie, has all this same information but our family line stems from Ester's brother, David.Ruth Hoar Whippie remarried after William's death in 1791.We have a birthdate of 1737 for William and an immigration date of 1759 to Nova Scotia. William wass one of the very first grantees of land in the town of Onslow.Ruth was the daughter of another original grantee. As you may know, they had nine children-Ester was the second born.William's father was Allin Whippe; mother, Agnus Pitt, who, according to our information, immigrated as a couple to Boston (from England, I suppose.) According to family legend, there was some sort of scandal regarding Agnus, whom we believe was a close relative of William Pitt the elder-either a sister or a cousin.However, we have not yet found that relationship. I hope this was somewhat helpful.
