Eleazar Wheelock Ripley was born in Hanover, NH, 15 Apr 1782, the grandson of Rev. Eleazar Wheelock, founder of Dartmouth College. He graduated from Dartmouth, and began a carreer in law and politics. In 1807, he was a member of the Massachusetts state house of representatives. Later he became a member of the Massachusetts senate.
Events leading up to the War of 1812 drew him into the military, where he obtained the rank of General, and received a Congressional Medal for his service. He is widely recognized as a hero for his efforts in the War of 1812.
In 1820, he resumed the practice of law in Louisiana. He was a member of the Louisiana state senate, and a member of the Louisiana house of representatives.
The town of Ripley, Tippah County, Mississipppi is named after him, as are numerous other locales in the United States, including Ripley County, Indiana, and Ripley County, Missouri.
He died on 2 Mar 1839, and is buried in a small cemetery at the Locust Grove State Historic Site, in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana.

In 1840 they were living in Southbridge (per 1840 Federal Census), with a daughter under 5 years, and with the children from Lucinda's previous marriage. In 1850, they are still living in Southbridge, with Henrietta F. Wheelock age 12 (placing her birth in 1838), and Sumner Brackett (probably a child from Lucinda's previous marriage). In 1860, Davis, age 73, and Lucinda, age 66, are living in Union, CT, with members of the "Town" family: Mariam, age 53, Sarah age 38, and Freeman, age 10. Henrietta F. is no longer in the household. Though no birth record is found, Henrietta F. Wheelock is probably the Frances Wheelock who married Abial Towne 10 June 1855 (per record of gg-grandson, Randall Towne), both of whom are buried in Union, CT. In 1860, Frances is living with Abial Town in Union, with their daughter, Emma, age 1, and other members of the Town family: Joseph, age 73, and Lucinda, age 40. Frances is buried next to her husband, Abial, in the New Cemetery, Union, CT. Her inscription (transcribed by Barbour): "Frances H. S. Wheelock, his wife, b. May 11, 1838, d. Feb. 16, 1926. Mother."
