The genealogy of William Harrison Wheelock, Sr. was derived from a letter written to Virginia Rees Burdick by his grandson, Albert Wheelock; and by a typewritten note, written by one of William's grandchildren (a child of Edward Silas Wheelock). This typewritten note was found in the private records of Persis (Park) Ivett, a Wheelock genealogist; it's origins are not known. Nearly all of the data from these two sources are consistent. Whenever an inconsistency was found, the data was taken from the typewritten note, as this seemed more detailed, and thus more accurate.
The New York census of 1850 corroborates the information presented here. It identifies a William H. Wheelock, age 13, residing in the household of Albert Wheelock, of East Hamburg, N.Y.
Albert wrote that some of his ancestors were from Hamburg, Germany. According to the 1850 Census records, the Dorst family was from Germany; and many of them lived close to the Wheelocks in East Hamburg.
William Harrison had 8 children by his first wife. Albert and 3 of his boys (Albert, Edward, and William) moved from Buffalo, N.Y. to Marion, Kansas circa 1880. His wife (Caroline Dorst) followed him out with 4 daughters, but did not like it and returned to Buffalo. The letter states that William's father had 7 brothers. It also states that William Harrison's oldest son (Jacob) was killed when he was around 14 years old.
Though the source letter from Albert Wheelock, from which most of this information was derived, indicates that William H. Wheelock was from Buffalo, the N.Y. census of 1850 and 1860 place William in East Hamburg, N.Y.
