Regarding Whipple Farm. Malachi Whipple, another representative man, came from Stonington, Conn., to this town about the year 1793, and bought what has ever since been known as the Whipple farm.
This farm in 1820 took the premium as the model farm in Albany County. This premium was two solid silver pitchers and five silver cups, which are still in the possession of the family. He afterward received premiums on sheep, on wool and on cloth. In 1825 he removed to the village of Berne; bought the grist-mill property, and built the present mill. The valuable property of E .V. Filkins, the widow Fairlees, adn that of the widown Davis, were included in this purchase. - Bi-centennial history of Albany: History of the county of Albany, NY from 1609 to 1886.
