Eleazar fought in the Revolutionary War. He marched on the Lexington Alarm with Captain Brigham's Company of Westborough Minute Men. He later served under his cousin, Captain Moses Wheelock.
The 1790 Federal Census shows Eleazar living in Rutland with 1 male under sixteen, and 2 females.
According to DAR records (Vol 17, Pg 291, Miss Hortense I. Porter, great-great-granddaughter of Eleazar Wheelock), Eleazar married Thankful Maynard, was placed on the Vermont Pension Roll, and died in Rutland, VT. "Soldier, Sailors, and Patriots of Vermont", Fisher and Fisher, 1992, reports that Eleazar is buried in Rutland, but that his grave was not located. "Rutland County Vermont Cemetery Inscriptions", by Margaret R. Jenks, 1995, Privately Printed, states that Eleazar was buried with his wife in Section 21, Evergreen Cemetery, Rutland, VT.
Buried next to Eleazar and his wife, Thankful Maynard, is Reverend Stephen M. Wheelock, 1789-1849, and Susan M. Wheelock, daughter of Stephen M. Wheelock and B.P., 1843-1849. Nearby is the grave of Hepsibah Wheelock (d. 6 Feb 1866, age 79), and her husband James Porter, MD (d. 1854, age 74 years).
The Records of the Congregational Church of Rutland, VT show that Stephen Maynard Wheelock, an ordained minister, was admitted to the church 19 May 1811, on which date he was also baptised. Based on the middle name Maynard, his burial next to Eleazar Wheelock and Thankful Maynard Wheelock, and the 1790 Census showing an additional male in the household, we reach the conclusion that he is a son of Eleazar and Thankful.
A Stephen M. Wheelock was Reverend at the Western Presbyterian Church in Palmyra, NY, 1817.
