Notes:

Reu was born in Charlton, Worcester Co, MA. His name appears on his birth record as Reu, but it is more often spelled as Rue, and occassionally even appears as Rew. Some genealogies suggest his full name was Reuben, but his name has never appeared that way in any original documents.

When he was about 12, his family moved to Augusta, Oneida Co, NY.^1,2 This is where he met his future wife, Rosanna Smiley, whose family had also moved from Vermont to Augusta in a similar timeframe.^3,4

The two were married about 1805, probably in Augusta. Reu was still living in Augusta in Dec 1807, when he purchased land there from his father.⁵

He may be the R. Wheelock enumerated in the 1810 census living in Oneida County, New York (town not known), with one boy under 10 (Gilman), two girls under 10 (Augusta, Sarah). R. Wheelock was between 26 and 44 (Reu would have been 26 in August 1810), and his wife was 16 to 25 (Rosanna would have been 26 or 27, depending on when the census was taken).

Reu apparently served as a teamster for the New York Militia in the War of 1812. In 1864, his widow, Rosanna Waldron, received 160 acres of bounty land in Oceana County, Michigan, for his service.⁶

By 1820 he had moved to Batavia, Genesee Co, NY, where he had purchased land with his brother, Eli. His sister, Relief, and her husband had also moved to Batavia.^7,8,9,10

The 1820 census shows Reu living in Batavia with a boy under 10 (probably Emmons), one man between 26 and 44 (Reu), 3 girls under 10 (probably Caroline, Lorane, and Eliza), two between 10 and 15 (Sarah and Augusta), and 1 between 26 and 44 (probably Rosanna). The census lists Eli Wheelock on the line above Reu.⁸

In 1825, 1828, and 1829 Reu sold his Batavia land holdings.¹¹ By 1830 the family had moved to Saline, Washtenaw Co, MI. The 1830 census shows Reu living in Saline with 2 boys between 5 and 9, 1 boy between 10 and 14, a man between 40 and 49, 1 girl between 10 and 14, and one woman between 40 and 49.¹²

Reu made several land sales in Saline, Michigan in 1831,¹³ but does not appear in census or land records after that date - including the 1834 Washtenaw County census, in which his wife, Rosanna, appears as head of household.¹⁴

Genealogies cite a 29 July 1833 death date for Reu. An original record to support that date has not yet been found, but it is consistent with the land records, census records, and Rosanna's 1835 marriage to Samuel Waldron.
