The Whipple family arrived in Ipswich, Massachusetts, before 1 September 1638, when John was granted six acres of land there.^[4]

Fiske (the most recent work on Susannah's family) does not give a date and place of death for Susannah.^[1] Blaine Whipple's work states that Susannah died in Ipswich after 13 July 1661 and her husband remarried after April 1662.^[4] This is the date found in Torrey's New England marriages.^[6] However, Felt's History of Ipswich, cited by Blaine Whipple, states that John's wife "Sarah" died 14 June 1658.^[7][8]

Her husband left a will dated 10 May 1669 and proved 28 September 1669. In it, he named three daughters (listed above), his "beloved wife" Jennett, son-in-law Anthony Potter and his son, John Whipple, was named executor.^[4]
