Alexander C. Wheelock is known to be the son of Clark, per death notice. Given that he was born about 1828, it is presumed that he was the son of Hannah (and not Nancy), but no confirming evidence has yet been found.

Rev. Alonzo Wheelock, DD is presumed to be the son of John Wheelock and Dorothy Wilder, based on the birth date of 7 Feb 1804, given in several different accounts, which matches the birth date of Alonzo Wheelock recorded in Heath, MA. His birth place is given as Vermont in one account, and Fish Creek Flats, NY in another. His father moved to Fish Creek in 1813, and Alonzo, no doubt, lived there in his youth, which may explain the reference. His true birth location, however, was most likely Massachusetts. Both the 1850 and 1870 Census indices identify his birth place as Massachusetts, and his birth is recorded in Heath, MA. His death notice implies that he was orphaned by 1812. This marks the approximate date his father and brothers moved to Fish Creek, NY. Both his parents were alive in 1812, so the "orphan" reference is problematic.
The death notice for Rev. Dr. Alonzo Wheelock, as given in "Death Notices 1819-1899 reported in the Fredonia Censor and a few other sources", compiled by Lois Barris, published 1992 by the Chautauqua County Genealogical Society, reads as follows:
"After 10 day illness... Became pastor of Baptist Church, Fredonia 3 Oct 1857 and has res here ever since except for 16 months (Apr 1863-Sep 1864) when pastor of Bapt Ch in Piqua Oh. Born Vermont 7 Feb 1804; died in his 70th yr...Was left an orphan at 8 in care of an elder sister...Grad Madison Univ and pastor in Norwich NY, Oswego, NYC and Elbridge NY before coming to Fredonia."
The 1 Sep 1842 issue of the New York Daily Tribune contains a death notice for Alonzo's daughter, Hellen Sophia Wheelock: Died: "In this city, Aug. 2?, Hellen Sophia, daughter of Rev. Alonoz Wheelock, of this city, aged 3 years, 1 month, and 2 days." (Source: www.NewspaperAbstracts.com, 23 Jan 2003)
Rev. Alonzo Wheelock, DD, was pastor at the Fredonia Baptist Church from 1857 to 1861. The following biography was extracted from "The Centennial History of the Fredonia Baptist Church, Fredonia, NY, 1808 - 1908", published probably 1908 in Buffalo, pages 68-70.
REV.ALONZO WHEELOCK,D.D.
Alonzo Wheelock was born in Fish-Creek-Flats, Oneida county, N.Y., February 7, 1804.
He graduated from the Hamilton Literary and Theological Institute at Hamilton, N.Y., in 1833. He also received an A.M. in 1846 and D.D. in 1857, the name at both dates being Madison University. He entered the Seminary at Hamilton from Panton, Vermont. He worked his way through school, having no pecuniary assistance from anyone. His first pastorate was at Delphi, N.Y., where he was ordained. His next pastorate was at Oswego, N.Y. He was pastor at Norwich, 1838-1840. He was pastor of Sixteenth Street, New York City, 1840-1850; at Elbridge, N.Y., 1850-1853; at Fredonia, N.Y., 1857-1861; at Piqua, Ohio, 1863-1864. This was his last pastorate. He lived in Fredonia from 1864 to the time of his death, February 25, 1873.
He married Esther Wells, June 6, 1833. She died and he married Elizabeth Maria Bacon, November 7, 1836. By his second marriage there were two daughters, Mary Ester [sic] Wheelock, born in Owego, Aug.9, 1838, and Lillian Wheelock, now Mrs.Judge Johnston, of Piqua, Ohio. Mary E.Wheelock married J. J. Parker of Fredonia, N.Y.
Dr. Wheelock was an excellent pastor, a safe, discreet, counsellor, and a most careful and critical student of the Holy Scriptures.
At the regular weekly prayer meetings his expositions of the chapter read were always of remarkable freshness of treatment, lucidity of analysis, and simplicity of expression.
While pastor in New York City, he was sent as a delegate to a World's Convention in London, England.
Elizabeth M. B. Wheelock was born March 6, 1815, in Leroy, N.Y. (or Rochester, N.Y.). She died at the home of J. J. Parker, Fredonia, N.Y., February 1,1891.
