The inscription on Andrus' tombstone reads: A companion dear, a parent kind, A heart to rightousness inclined, Through [years?] of sorrow and distress My life has passed away Here in this grave my body rests till the great judgement day.

Much of the information about the descendants of Phineas Wheelock, and his wife, Prudence Dodge, comes from the research of Su Wetzel, who is a descendant of Phinehas. Email Su at swetzel@erols.com (May 1999). Phinehas' birth record also appears in the Lancaster Vital Records.
Corporal Phinehas Wheelock appears on a roll of Lancaster men that marched on the alarm at Fort William Henry, 1757, under the command of Colonel Oliver Wilder, Esq. (Source: "History of Lancaster, Mass" by Rev. Abijah Marvin, 1879, Lancaster, MA)
Phinehas fought in the Revolutionary War. He is listed in "Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots", by Patricia Law Hatcher, Vol. 4, Dallas: Pioneer Heritage Press, 1987.
He went to Winchendon, MA, around 1769, and bought land there in 1771 (per "History of Winchendon, MA", by Rev. A. P. Marvin, published 1868 by the author). He may have lived in Winchester, NH, in 1781, where his son Phineas was born. He appears in Alstead, Cheshire Co, NH in the 1790 Census; living with 2 males under 16, and 2 females. The 1800 Census also lists him in Alstead, with 2 males age 16-26, a female age 16-26, and a female age greater than 45.
Elijah Wheelock (Abt 1777 - 1813) may also be a child in this family, though no proof has yet been found.
A death notice for Phineas Wheelock, age 76, of Alstead, is published in the 12 Sep 1807 edition of Danville North Star Newspaper. (Src: "Northeast Kingdom Genealogy", by Janice Boyko, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nekg3)
Phineas is buried in Surry. His headstone has the following inscription:
"In Memory of Mr. Phinehas Wheelock, who died June 26th, 1807, in the 76th year of his age."
"Dear friends don't mourn for me nor weep, I am not dead but here do keep, and here forever must I remain, until Christ shall raise me up again. Depart my friend dry up your tears, ......"
