Father: Goddard Wheelock
Mother: Eleanor Hathaway

Notes:

Lovicy is not mentioned in her father's 1813 probate records.

Research Notes:

The Wheelock Family of Calais cites 20 Aug 1798 as her birth date, and 12 Aug 1800 as her death date. Neither of these dates nor any other is found in the Vermont vital records at FamilySearch.org, Ancestry.com, or AmericanAncestors.org, Feb 2021. Records of William Spooner does not mention Lovicy as a child in this family, but does mention Louisa. Lovicy is buried in Janes Cemetery, East Calais, Washington Co, VT (FindAGrave memorial 181261585). The inscription on her stone reads: "In memory of Lovicy, Doughter of Godard and Elenor Whelock, died Aug 13th 1806 in the [unreadable, but probably 2nd] year of her age."

The 13 Aug 1806 death date, and an 1804 birth date is presumed more likely correct than those given in Waite. The 20 Aug 1798 birth date given in Waite would place her birth exactly 9 months before that of her older brother John, whose 20 May 1799 birth is recorded in the Vermont vital records. This seems highly unlikely. It is possible that the 12 Aug 1800 death date given by Waite is a faulty transcription of the 13 Aug 1806 death date on her headstone.
