The Uxbridge Vital records gives the birth date for Jerry as Sept. ___, 1782.
Jerry Wheelock was admitted a partner in the firm of Daniel Day & Company, a woolen mill owned by his father in law. He was a natural mechanic. After a few years he left the mill, and engaged as an "erector" with Arthur Dryden, of Holden, a manufacturer of wool carding machines. In 1814, the Rivulet Manufacturing Company was organized at Uxbridge, Jerry Wheelock a shareholder, mechanical engineer, and mill superintendant during the first four years of its existence. In 1818 he began to build woolen mill machinery under his own name and continued a successful maker of machinery until 1834. He invented many devices and improvements in woolen mill machines and established the highest reputation for excellence in workmanship and material, many mills placing their plants under his care to be kept in repair so far as machinery was involved. He became widely known throughout New York and New England. After 1834 he retired from manufacturing machinery and entered into partnership with his sons to make woolens. This continued until 1846, when he retired and spent the last fifteen years of his life free from business cares.
Three generations of Wheelocks succeeded Jerry in the woolen industry in Uxbridge, each playing prominent roles in the town, and in the woolen business.
