Benjamin Wheelock, third generation Wheelock in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, was born in Medfield, Massachusetts, 12 Dec 1678; the first male child of Benjamin Wheelock, Sr. and Elizabeth (Bullen) Wheelock. His grandparents, Rev. Ralph Wheelock, Rebecca (Clarke) Wheelock, Samuel Bullen, and Mary (Morse) Bullen were all early settlers of both Dedham and Medfield. [1]
Benjamin, Sr. was a proprieter of the town of Mendon, and moved there with his family circa 1685, thus becoming one of the founding settlers of the town. Benjamin, Jr. was but six or seven years old at the time. Benjamin, Sr. was a large landholder in Mendon, and was the third owner of the Albee Cornmill. In 1713, when Benjamin, Jr. was 25 years of age, his father deeded mill priveledges to he and his brother, Obadiah. [2] Thus Benjamin became established as a miller and a farmer in Mendon, where he lived out the rest of his life.
Benjamin married twice; first to Hulda Thayer, whose grandfather, Ferdinando Thayer was the principle founder of Mendon [3], and second to Rebecca Kinney. Having married Rebecca fairly late in life, all of Benjamin's children were born to his first wife, Hulda.
In 1722/3, Benjamin acquired a parcell of land near Oxford, Mass, which he deeded to his sons Jonathan, David, and Paul between the years1735 and 1740. This land was later annexed to Charlton (in 1757), where the three brothers played principle roles as early settlers and leaders of town affairs. [4]
On 13 Sep 1746 Benjamin died in Mendon, leaving his wife, Rebecca, and eight children. His will is on file with the Worcester Probate Office, case number 63618. In it, he leaves bequests to his wife Rebecca (to sustain her for the rest of her life, or until she remarries); land to his sons Benjamin, Daniel, Silas, and Peter; money to his sons Jonathan, David, and Paul; money and miscellaneous domestic items to his grandchildren Peter Thayer, Mary Thayer, and Abigail Thayer (the children of his deceased daughter Mary Wheelock); money to his daughter Hulda (Wheelock) (Sanford) Rice; money and other items to his grandchildren Seth and Mary Sanford (children of Hulda).
