William Whipple's Birth Card: The King of Diamonds
The Wealthy King
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict the Declaration or a revolution.
In the record
William Whipple Jr. (January 25, 1731 NS [January 14, 1730 OS] – November 28, 1785) was an American Founding Father and signatory of the United States Declaration of Independence. The birth-card coordinate for January 14 is the King of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast.
The King of Diamonds coordinate
William Whipple's birthday maps to the King of Diamonds (The Wealthy King). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about the Declaration and not a verdict on William Whipple. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You run the system and you can show your work.
William Whipple in the public record
He represented New Hampshire as a member of the Continental Congress from 1776 through 1779. He worked as both a ship's captain and a merchant, and he studied in college to become a judge. He died of heart complications in 1785, aged 55. Whipple was born in Kittery in the Province of Massachusetts Bay (now Maine) in the William Whipple House to Captain William Whipple Sr. and his wife Mary (née Cutt). He was educated at a common school until he went off to sea, where he became a ship's master at age 21. He married his first cousin Catherine Moffat in 1767, and they moved into the Moffatt-Ladd House on Market Street in Portsmouth in 1769. Their son William Whipple III died in infancy. Whipple was a descendant of Samuel Appleton, early settler in Ipswich, Massachusetts.

Where the record meets the King of Diamonds
A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about William Whipple, and not a forecast of the Revolution.
