Looks like you were correct in your original usage. To add 'from' to 'whence' is redundant. From the 1874 Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.

Whence, adj.

1. From what place; hence, from what or which source, origin, antecedent, premise, and the like; how - used interrogatively.

Whence hath this man his wisdom? Matt. xiii 34
Whence and what art thou? Milton
