CHAPTER 1: *ANTHONY POTTER Page 68 Stondon Massey, Essex

Stondon Massey, Essex: There was a "Whipple’s Farm" at Stondon Massey (Stondon), Essex that may have been owned or occupied originally by the WHIPPLE0 brothers, MATTHEW WHIPPLE0 (1588 – 1647) and JOHN WHIPPLE0 (1596 – 1669), of Bocking, Essex.19 The Puritan Reverend NATHANIEL WARD0 (1578 – 1652) was rector of Stondon Massey (later known as “St. Peter & St. Paul Church”) from 1626 or 1628 until he was compelled to immigrate to New England in 1634. In 1630 Stondon Massey was located just 16 miles northeast of London in southwest Essex County and was only 20 miles from Bocking. [Note: Today Stondon Massey is a suburb of London. It is just 4 miles north of Brentwood half way to Chipping Ongar up route A128. Brentwood is on the northeast side of London just outside motorway M25, the beltway around London. In August 1594, MATTHEW WHIPPLE-1 (ca. 1560 – 1619) was one of eleven witnesses in the court session at Brentwood where seven defendants were brought from Colchester prison to stand trial.] Interestingly, Stondon Massey was only eight (8) miles east of Theydon Garnon, Epping, Essex where STEPHEN CLARKE-1 (1566 – 1610) and his family lived, which may have included *JOANNA CLARK POTTER0, the possible mother of *ANTHONY POTTER1 (ca. 1628 – 1690). Also, this may explain how JOHN WHIPPLE0 (1596 – 1669) met his first wife, SUSANNA CLARKE WHIPPLE0 (ca. 1594 – before 1634), and why they married in nearby London, England. [Note: Today Theydon Garnon, Epping, Essex is a suburb of London. It is located on the northeast side of London on motorway M11 just north of the junction of motorways M11 and M25. M25 is the beltway around London.] On a direct line between London and Bocking, Stondon Massey appears to be a convenient rest stop and may have been chosen by the WHIPPLE0 brothers not only for farming but also as a place to rest on their many business trips to London. While attending church in Stondon Massey, the WHIPPLE0 brothers were undoubtedly inspired and influenced by the Puritan Master NATHANIEL WARD0 (1578 - 1652) who not only was the rector of Stondon Massey, but later served as the first minister (1634 - 1638) in Ipswich, Massachusetts, where JOHN WHIPPLE0 (1596 – 1669) and *ANTHONY 20 POTTER1 (ca. 1628 – 1690) came to live.
