Merriam Webster:

from whence
: from what place, source, or cause
no one could tell me from whence the gold had come
—Graham Greene

Also Merriam Webster: Is it wrong to say 'from whence'?

TL;DR: Yeah, it's kind of wrong, but people have been getting it wrong for so long that it is no longer a 'vicious' mistake.
