Notes:
Otis Wheelock moved to Fish Creek, Oneida Co, NY in 1814, a year after his father settled the area. He taught school there in 1815-1816. (Src: "Our County and It's People, A Descriptive work on Oneida County, NY", edited by Daniel E. Wager, The Boston History Company, 1896).
Otis Wheelock is enumerated in the 1840 census living in Vienna, Oneida Co, NY (near Fish Creek), age 40 to under 50, with a female in the same age bracket, one male age 5 to under 10, five males age 10 to under 15, one female under 5, and a female age 15 to under 20.
"Otis Wheelock, [of] Vienna, county of Oneida and state of New York" is identified as an heir and next of kin of Mary Grandey (Otis' sister) in an 1839 probate notice. [Src: Albany Argus (Albany, New York), 4 Oct 1839, p. 4, col. 4.]
He is enumerated in the 1850 Census living in Vienna, Oneida Co, NY, age 55, born MA, with Hanna Wheelock, age 54, born NY, Jay Wheelock, age 24, born NY, Thadeus Wheelock, age 21, born NY, and Addison Wheelock, age 18, born NY.
He was again in Vienna in 1860, with Hannah, Lodisha, age 36, and Thaddeus.
He was there again in 1870, with Lodisha, 45, Thaddeus, 41, Mary, 7, Florence, 6, Fred, 6, Martha, 3, and Miles, 18. Hannah is not listed.
He is last listed in 1880, age 84, living in Vienna, NY with his son, Thaddeus, 49, his daughter Lodisha Wright, and his great nephew, Miles Wheelock, age 29.
His death is announced in the Roman Citizen newspaper, Rome, NY, 4 May 1885. The announcement states that he left six children: "Thaddeus and Lordiska, who reside at the homestead, Jasper, Jay, and Sylvester, of Rome, and Addison, of Vienna."
Information about the family of Otis Wheelock was found in an old shed in Dillsboro, Indiana, circa 1994 by Wayne French. A four page handwritten family record was found. One page one was written: "Family Records, drawn off Apr 19, 1851 [possibly 1867, 1861], H. Wheelock". Page two and three contained the birth dates of the children of John Wheelock and Dorothy Wilder, of Heath, MA. The names and dates agreed almost exactly with those shown in the Heath Vital Records. There were a few minor discrepancies in the birth dates. The birth for Sally Wheelock was given as 15 Dec 1785, rather than 14 Dec 1784. The birth date for Lucinda Wheelock was given as 17 June 1790, rather than 23 June 1790. Elijah Wheelock, who died shortly after birth, was not mentioned. The birth dates of the other 14 children matched exactly. Page four contains birth dates for the children of Otis Wheelock. The name Hannah Wheelock, born 11 Mar 1797 appears at the top of the page. Otis is presumed to be the son of John Wheelock and Dorothy Wilder, and Hannah is presumed to be his wife. The following children of Otis were listed: Sylvester, Lodisha, Jay, Jasper, Harrison, Thaddius, Addison, and Hellen Victoria.
