Some of the information about this family, and it's descendents comes from an unpublished book in the New England Historical and Genealogical Society entitled "Wheelock Family" by Carlysle Wheelock and Winifred Gonseth. The source cited in this book is Stanley Wheelock, M.D. 9-30-1913.
Further information about this family (Lorane Wheelock) can be found in "The History of Kent County, Michigan", published in 1881. The information in both sources is consistent.
Reu Wheelock probably moved from Charlton, MA, to Batavia, Genesee County, New York between 1794, the date of the last recorded land transaction of his father in Charlton, and 1805, the date of his marriage to Rosanna Smiley. It is likely that the entire family of Edward Wheelock and Martha Daggett made the move. (See notes for siblings Silas and Relief.)
Reu jointly purchased land in Batavia with Eli Wheelock, according to the Holland Land Records. The MA 1790 Census suggests that Reu had two brothers whose births are not listed in the Charlton Vital Records. Their names, according to Marcus Warren Waite (a Wheelock Family genealogist, author of "The Wheelock Family of Calais, VT") were Eli and Paul. The source of his information is not known, but the joint land purchases consistent with the conjecture that Eli and Reu were brothers.
(As recorded in "Western New York Land Transactions, 1804-1824, Extracted From the Archives of the Holland Land Company", Karen E. Livsey, published by the Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc., 1991, Reu and Eli purchased Lot 4, Township 12, Range 2, 26 Nov 1817, and Lot 5, Township 12, Range 2, 17 Jan 1820)
One researcher reports that Reu served in the war of 1812.
The family later moved to Michigan in 1827. Rosanna remarried in 1837, four years after the death of Reu. (Source: Marian Chamberlain, husband descends from Reu Wheelock and Rosanna Smiley, Apr 1999)
