The about of this Sarah states:
According to source below (see link):

Birth Date 6 Feb 1642
Birth Place Ipswich, Essex, MA
Death Date 3 Feb 1679 Age: 36
Death Place Ipswich, Essex, MA
Father John Whipple , M (1617-1685)
Mother Sarah Unknown , F (1624-1666)

Now that would correspond to her birth year. The problem is that the current John Whipple is probably a different person, as his timeline is, currently making him a father at 10 years of age (and the mother 9 years of age).
John Whipple (Lieutenant)

BIRTH: 6 Sep 1632, Bocking, Essex, England
DEATH: 22 Nov 1695, Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts

I suspect that this Lt. John Whiple has been merged wrongly or that a different one should be the father of this Sarah.

Private User I've disconnected Sarah Knowlton from not her father, Lt. John Whiple

Notes in Sarah's "about" cast doubt that her parents are known at all, so I am inclined to leave her parentless but (not yet) make placeholder unknown parents.

Here's the exact reference discrediting the Whipple parent theory:

Errata and addenda to Dr. Stocking's History and genealogy of the Knowltons states:

Page 22 No 5 John Erase Sarah Whipple She married Joseph Goodhue of Ipswich July 13 1661 as proved by her father's will Elder John Whipple probated Sept 28 1669
