Informs his brother that The Treaties of Peace were sign'd, officially ending the American Revolution, and that The British I suppose are preparing to leave our Territory.

Joseph Whipple (1752/1753-1843) was born in Sharon, Connecticut, served in the Revolutionary War, married widow Mary (Virgil) Smith about 1788 at Green River, New York, and settled at Louden (now Otis), Massachusetts, later moving to Vernon, Ohio. Descendants through the fourth generation lived in Ohio, Missouri, Kansas, North Dakota, Oregon and elsewhere.
