2. Joel Wheelock, born Mar 1784

Notes:

The children of Joel and Elizabeth are not proven, but the circumstantial evidence is compelling. For arguments, see the notes for each.

Joel Wheelock served in the Revolutionary War. He marched from New Ipswich, NH, before daylight on April 20, 1775, in response to the Lexington Alarm. In the list of men marching with him was Timothy Wheelock, probably his brother.¹

He appears in the 1800 Census living in New Ipswich, NH, with two boys under 10, a boy between 10-15, a girl under 10, a girl between 10-15, and his presumed wife, age between 26-44.

Joel and family probably moved to Madison County, NY sometime before 1810.

He is probably the J. Wheelock that appears in 1810 in Smithfield, Madison Co, NY. Nearby is J. Welock, Jr (indexed as J. Wedock at www.FamilySearch.org), possibly his son Joel, Jr.

He's again in Smithfield in 1820, with his wife and a daughter. In 1830 he's in nearby Lenox, Madison Co, NY, age between 70 and 79, with his wife, who's of similar age.

He's found in no further census records.

His brother Lewis mentions him in his Dec 1830 Oneida Co, NY will.²

"The History of New Ipswich, NH, 1735-1914", by Charles Henry Chandler, assisted by Sarah Fiske Lee, Sentinel Printing Company, Fitchburg, MA, 1914, has the following to say about Joel: He married "Elizabeth ____. His farm was to the east from Kidder Mountain, just separated from it by the old country road, and later owned by Earl Boynton. He is said to have removed to Vermont about 1800. He had one child who died before his removal, but its name is not recorded."

The 1800 census indicates more children than the History of Ipswich implies. Furthermore, the statement that he "removed to Vermont about 1800" is probably a mistake. While Madison County, NY once included Vermont, by 1800 Vermont and New York were distinct states.
