Benajah Wheelock came to Wisconsin with his parents prior to 1850. He worked as a lumberman in the Green Bay area during the 1850's and is said to have started one of the first sawmills north of Green Bay. In Feb 1859 he left Wisconsin to join his parents in California. His wife, Matilda stayed behind with the three children. She later filed for divorce, claiming that he had failed to send support money. The divorce was granted in 1861. Sometime after his marriage to Mary Drever, he took up farming on a ranch near Rough and Ready Creek in Sonora. The ranch, however, was not productive, and after borrowing money to make ends meet, he eventually lost it. In 1890 he filed a quart claim ten miles east of Sonora. Probate records for his estate (#888) are on file at the County Clerk, Tuolomne County, Sonora, CA.
