David Wheelock, age 68, born in MA, is enumerated in the 1850 Census living in Readfield, Kennebec Co, ME. He is living with Susan R., age 67, Nancy Wheelock, age 32, Horris (sic) Wheelock, age 27, Eveline Wheelock, age 23, and Frederick B. Wheelock, age 20, all born in Maine.
The Alden Kindred of America, Inc. website (www.alden.org) gives a marriage date of 14 Jan 1814, which is inconsistent with the birth of their first child in 1813.
David Wheelock's headstone in Kent's Hill Cemetery, Readfield, ME, reads as follows: "David Wheelock d. Dec.18,1862 Aet. 86y. 8m." This implies a birth date of April 1776, in disagreement with the 1850 Census which lists his age as 68, implying a birth date of 1782.
David may be the son of Benjamin Wheelock and Elizabeth Thompson of Charlton, MA. The evidence, mostly onomastic, is as follows:
1) David's birth date of 1776 or 1782 fits well into the birth sequence for Elizabeth (Thompson) Wheelock. He was born in MA. David is mentioned in Benjamin Wheelock's will, written in 1814, but does not appear in the Census indexes or elsewhere in Charlton.
2) David married Sukey Packard in ME, 14 Jan 1813. Their first child was Albert Thompson Wheelock, b. 10 Dec 1812; the middle name Thompson probably from Elizabeth (Thompson) Wheelock, David's mother. The name Albert Thompson Wheelock runs in the family. David had a nephew named Albert Thompson Wheelock who was born in Charlton.
3) Two other children inherited names from David's parents: Elizabeth Wheelock and Frederick Benjamin Wheelock.

Martha Louise Gage Wheelock probably married James Bolton, sometime before 19 Sep 1872, when their daughter, Martha (Mattie) Gage Bolton was born. Martha L. G. Wheelock apparently died during or shortly after childbirth, as her death date coincides with the birth of her daughter. She is buried in Fort Kent, ME; her headstone reads:
Martha L. G. - wife of James Bolton - Aug 19, 1849 - Sep 19, 1872
The supporting evidence is as follows:
1) The death certificate for Martha (Mattie) Gage Bolton, found in Auburn, ME, where she died in 1956, gives her mother's maiden name as Martha Wheeler (sic), her father as James Bolton, and identifies a birth date of 19 Sep 1872. She is probably the daughter of the Martha L. G. buried in Ft. Kent.
2) The 1850 Census shows Martha Wheelock living in the household of Jesse and Sophronia Wheelock, in Aroostook Co, ME, age 1. This implies that she was born in 1849. The LDS Ancestral File gives a birth date of 19 Aug 1849; and her full name as Martha Louise Gage Wheelock; both consistent with the 1850 census. Though the LDS information is unconfirmed; if true it creates a strong link between the Martha L. G. buried in Ft. Kent, born 19 Aug 1849, and Martha L. G. Wheelock, daughter of Jesse Wheelock and Sophronia Baker.
