According to "The Wheelock Family of Calais, VT", by Marcus W. Waite:
He came to Calais as early as 1808, and on Nov 6, 1812 bought of Abijah Wheelock 86 acres of land in lot 51 of the 1st division, where they made their home for many years. Clara died Aug 22, 1850 and Welcom died Mar. 20, 1865. He was selectman 1825-26 and 1837, and held other town offices. He was owner of three pews in the "Old West Church", Calais. Both he and Clara are buried in Robinson Cemetery, in Calais. A newspaper notice at time of his death states: "At the time of his death he was clerk and treasurer of the first Universalist Society in Clais, which office he had held for the last 25 years and had never been absent from a meeting.He was also clerk of the first Meeting-house Society in Calais for the last 31 years, and had also been clerk and treasurer of the school district in which he lived for the last 30 years." His granddaughter, (Miss Carrie Wheelock) has three commissions signed by the Governor of Vermont, appointing him 2nd Lieutenant, then 1st Lieutenant, and finally Captain.
Bezeleel Woodward was the son of Deacon Israel and Mary (Sims) Woodward, of Lebanon, CT.
