George Whipple – The Eyebrow Man

I LOVE THE PRACTICE OF LAW. BY THE END OF A LONG DAY, I CAN BECOME EXHAUSTED. THEN I BECOME REFRESHED BY THIS-THE SOCIAL LIFE OF NEW YORK. IT’S ALL VERY EXCITING, AND STIMULATING, AND MAGIC.- George Whipple to the NY Times in 1998

Here is another illustrious family and their history being saved on the Peninsula, that is overflowing with computer experts, and not one of them is helping me – or anyone – preserve THE HISTORY that will be swallowed up by Heritage Plan 2025, that is going after ALL WHITE HISTORY. Why – is the question? I suspect Historic Societies have been targeted – for years! I demand Genentech fund me , or – get out of Oregon! Go back to Belmont – and clean up the mess you made of my family history!

I suspect cities that are being eye-balled by BIG TECH begin a cleansing of their Citizens, to make them look pliable, docile, and plump. They want Bubble-Blots and not – BOHEMIANS – who might nail a message to a stick and stand in front of their Monoliths. Consider The Time Machine. I’m going to send George and SOS and have him come to Belmont and save Weena!

“George! You have been drafted – by the future – where you are a Super Hero, who jumps in a river to save Weena. You are a Bohemian Browman – to the max!:

George Whipple, the Eyebrows Man, is a journalist, lawyer, philanthropist and farmer. A true renissance man to say the least. The New York Times have refered to him as an NYC Celebrity. George is an Ivy League educated powerful employment attorney by day, and a fierce yet likable, society reporter hitting all the hottest red carpets by night. Mr. Whipple has also been reconigized for his philathropic contributions to Putnam County NY civic, environmental and historic preservation movements.

The Whipple-Hull Family of San Carlos

Eureka! I just discovered one of my kin was the Mayor of San Carlos. The father of Asa Hull, was William Whipple Hull, a early pioneer of san Carlos that was named Phelpsville at one time. Sir Isaac Hull was the Captain of the U.S.S. Constitution – that sails through the Golden Gate past Black Point, where my kin Jessie Benton Fremont held a salon that Mark Twain attended.

Offshore of San Carlos, Captain Hull gives a canon salute to William Whipple Hull who is kin to Signer William Whipple! This is the first linage of a Signer I have encountered in the history of California. Let us hear a canon salute to Carl Janke, Founder of Belmont! The name San Carlos should be changed to…

Whippleville!

Happy Fourth of July – my beloved ancestors!

Willard Whipple

Bay Area Pioneer and Entrepreneur

[Note: This article—written by Weldon Whipple—first appeared in the Whipple Blog as “Who Is Willard Whipple?” on 19 May 2021.]

In 2010 I posted this photo of the Whipple Avenue exit in Redwood City California. At the time I wondered who the Whipple might be. Might it be Amiel Weeks Whipple, I wondered? He was an early explorer and surveyor of the American southwest.

Then, recently Tim Whipple of Woodside, California, posted the following photo to the Whipple Website Facebook page. It mentions two lumber mills established by Willard Whipple.

Tim also noted that “Willard’s first mill was built on the site now occupied by the Phleger Estate. The current occupant of that historic landmark is Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel.”

A Wikipedia article entitled “Phleger Estate” has this to say about Willard Whipple:

Willard Whipple was one of many area lumbermen who dragged logs to the port at Redwood City. His Whipple’s Mill Road has come to be known as Whipple Avenue. He was a Union sympathizer in the Civil War and named the creek on which his mills operated West Union Creek. Whipple built his steam-powered Upper Mill in late 1852 at the site of today’s Phleger House (now occupied by Gordon and Betty Moore) on the Phleger Estate.
