Notes:

Weltha lived in Stockton for many years after her husband died. For most of that time she lived in the household of her daughter, Mary Biddleman, with a brief interlude living in the household of her grand-daughter, Martha (Perry) Batchelder. After the 1880 census was taken she moved to Pymosa Township, Cass County, Iowa, where she was living with her daughter, Mary, in 1885.¹

In 1868 she applied for and received a pension based on the service of her son, Alberto Wheelock, who had been captured during the Civil War, and died in Andersonville Prison.²

She died in 1890 in Pymosa Township.³

Research Notes:

There are several statements in her obituary and her pension application that contradict what are thought to be the facts of her life.

Her obituary states that she had eleven children (six sons and five daughters) while only eight are accounted for here and in other genealogies. Her statement, filed under oath, in support of her pension application states that she married her husband, Asa Wheelock, on 6 March 1811. The application is labelled "original" in the pension packet, and is therefore presumably not a transcription. It was signed by Weltha Wheelock, and witnessed by her daughter, Adaline Lodica (Wheelock) Perry, and her husband, Henry A. Perry. The date is clearly written and not subject to misreading. If this date were accurate, it would imply that Cyrus Hubbard Wheelock was her son, which seems unlikley. The marriage date is contradicted by the statement in her obituary that three sons survived her. If Cyrus were her son, then four sons would have survived her (they being William, Oscar, Andrew, and Cyrus). One possible explanation is that Weltha herself misremembered the date. Another is that the document in her pension packet is, in fact, not original (even though it looks authentic), and is instead a mistaken transcription of an original document. It is possible that her actual marriage date is 6 March 1817.

Her obituary in the Atlantic Telegraph, 1 Oct 1890, states that she was born in Boston, Massachusetts; but her parents were married and lived in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. It is more likely that she was born there rather than Boston. She may be the Weltha Hor whose birth is recorded in Attleboro (next to Rehoboth), 30 Aug 17??, daughter of William Hor.⁴

Notes:

John Homer appears in Dayton, NY, next to his brother Joseph in the 1850 Census. John Homer, who went by the name Homer, is age 37 years, with wife Sarah, age 37; Amelia, age 8; Theodore, age 6; Augustus, age 5; Zenas, age 1; and a 26 year old male, Moritz (?) from Germany.

Persis (Park) Ivett notes that the family appeared in Dayton in the 1860 Census, and in Fredonia in the 1870 Census.

He is enumerated in the 1880 Census living in Pomfret, Chautauqua Co, NY, with is wife S. L. Wheelock, and daughters Lelia, a school teacher, and Delia, "at home", both age 26.¹.

His death notice in the Fredonia paper refers to him as Homer Wheelock. The notice reads as follows:

"Wheelock, Homer, died 28 Mar 1887. In Dunkirk, in 74th year..funeral at house; buried Forest Hill Cemetery. Resident of Pomfret some 20 yrs. Leaves wife and 7 children, 3 son, 4 daughters, all grown to maturity. Z. E. Wheelock, superintendant of street railway is one of the sons."

The death notice in the Dunkirk Observer Journal, 29 Mar 1887 indicates that he lived on Canary Street, Dunkirk.

In the "History of the City of Buffalo and Erie County, 1884" [1] it states that Homer was elected an elder of the First Presbyterian Church of Orchard Park in 1838, along with Richard Smith and David C. Hough. Homer's parents, Silas and Rena, were both founding members of this church when it was first organized in 1817.
