Eleazer Whipple, son of John Whipple (1), was baptized at Dorchester, Massachusetts, March 8, 1746, and was born probably within a month of that date. He was also a carpenter or housewright. He was a soldier in King Philip's war and was wounded. The town of Providence paid six pounds "for curing" him of his wound. He took the oath of allegiance in 1667. He was deputy to the general assembly in 1693 and 1701. He distributed his estate largely before his death. He deeded land to his sons Job and Eleazer, January 1, 1714. Later he gave the homestead to James, provided he pay legacies of fifty pounds each to his brother Daniel and his sister Elizabeth. His sons Eleazer, James and Job, all of Providence, deeded to brother Daniel, of Wrentham, certain lands. He died November 9, 1719, and his widow Alice and son James administered the estate. He married, January 26, 1669, Alice Angell, born 1649, died August 13, 1743, daughter of Thomas and Alice Angell, of Rhode Island. Alice, widow of Eleazer, made her home at Smithfield. She resigned as administratrix of the estate January 22, 1733. The children: Eleazer, Jr.; Abel, born at Providence, June 3, 1675; Margaret; Elizabeth, born 1680; Job, born 1684; James, born 1686; Daniel, see forward.
