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.

Jonathan lived for a time in Concord, MA (where many of his children were married), but later removed to Concord, NH. He was a drummer in the Revolutionary War, serving in Colonel Prescott's Regiment, and later in Colonel Bradford's Regiment. He appears on a list of men who fought at Bunker Hill. (Re: "Bunker Hill Memorial Tablets, 4th Edition", published 1895). His gravestone in the Old North Cemetery, Concord, NH, indicates that he fought at Bunker Hill, Yorktown, and Valley Forge. He was age 86 at death, implying a birth date sometime around 1759.
He is probably the Jona Wheelock enumerated in the 1790 Census living in Ashby, Middlesex Co, MA. In 1800 he is living in Concord, Middlesex Co, MA; and in 1810, he is there adjacent to Josiah Wheelock. He appears there again in 1820, but makes no further appearances in the Census records. His daughter, Lucy (Wheelock) Downing was established in Concord, NH with her husband, Lewis Downing by 1825, and it is possible Jonathan moved there to be with his daughter sometime before 1830. The 1830 Census reveals that the home of Lewis Downing in Concord, NH has a male age between 70 and 80; this may be Jonathan. An elderly male also appears in the household in 1840, but is no longer listed in 1850 - consistent with the 1845 death date for Jonathan.
