Eleazar Wheelock's headstone in Long Plain Cemetery, Leverett, MA, indicates a birth date of 23 Feb 1807. This matches the Shrewsbury birth record, and is taken as sufficient evidence to identify him as the son of Gershom and Priscilla (Mason) Wheelock. This is, no doubt, the Eleazar whose death is recorded in Amherst (MA: 446:3).
Eleazar Wheelock was employed by Allen & Thurber gunsmiths of Worcester, MA in 1846. His brother, Thomas Prentice Wheelock, also employed there in the same year, would later become a partner of Allen & Wheelock. (Src: Allen & Thurber payroll records, researched by Paul Henry, 2003.) Eleazar witnessed Ethan Allen's first patent (number 461) on 11 Nov 1837.
Eleazar is enumerated in the 1880 Census living in Amherst, MA, with Mary W. His occupation is listed as gunsmith.

Martha Wight, daughter of Joseph Wight and Mercy ____, was born in Medfield, but moved to Bellingham with her parents in 1729, a few years after her mother died. (Src: "History of Medfield", W. Tilden, 1887) Her father, Joseph Wight, was a signer of the 1719 petition to grant Bellingham a charter. Her brother, Elnathan Wight, was the first resident minister in Bellingham, a Baptist. In 1750, Martha, her husband, Jonathan Wheelock, his brother, Silas Wheelock, and others signed the Articles of Faith of the Baptist Church in Bellingham. (Src: "History of the Town of Bellingham Massachusetts", by George F. Partridge, published 1919.)
Martha (Wight) Wheelock kept a private family record book which was brought to Calais, VT, by her son Peter, and continued by him. A copy of the book was made for Marcus Waite, author of "The Wheelock Family of Calais, VT"; and this, no doubt, is where the death date for Jonathan Wheelock was recorded.
