Notes:

The will for Thomas Clarke is published in "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register", Vol 152, January 1998, pg. 15, in an article by Christopher Gleason Clark, entitled "The English Ancestry of Joseph Clark (1613-1683) of Dedham and Medfield, Massachusetts". The will cites his granddaughter Marye Wheelock. This, along with other evidence presented in the article, strongly suggests the relationships among the Clarks, Wheelocks, and Barbers presented in this genealogy.

1. Walter Ellis Wheelock, born 9 Sep 1925, Saratoga Springs, NY
2. Betty Jean Wheelock, born 1 Mar 1929, Warren, Warren Co, PA

Notes:

After Ellis was born, his mother developed a cough, which worsened over time. Seven or eight months after the birth of her last child, Doris, Ellis's mother died.

Ellis came to know Josephine Else, a nurse at Mount Jewett Hospital in central Pa. Josephine's family lived in Allenwood, Pa. After Ellis and Josephine were married, they moved to Allenwood, where they had two children, William and Robert.

As it turned out, Josephine had tuberculosis and her health deteriorated after the birth of her second child. Finally, after the birth of her third child, Harry, Josephine died.

Unable to adequately care for the children, Ellis gave up Harry for adoption to his sister, Dime, and her husband. He passed William and Robert into the care of relatives.

In time, Ellis met Marion Fawcett, a student nurse at Warren State Hospital (where Ellis was employed). They got along well and were married. When circumstances permitted, William and Robert rejoined their father and new stepmother.

After Walter was born, Ellis, Marion, and their three children moved in with Ellis's father (Millard Fillmore Wheelock) to help care for him, and to run his farm. This living arrangement didn't work well and they soon moved out. Ellis took several different jobs, trying to find something that suited him. Sometime after Betty was born, Ellis bought a small farm which he was able to develop into a sustaining business. He, Marion and the four children settled on the farm and raised chickens.

In 1963, long after all the children had left home, Ellis died of coronary insufficiency. He was buried in Pinegrove Cemetery, Russell, Pa.

Ellis seemed to spell his name Elice at times, so there is some confusion as to the correct spelling. The Social Security Death Index spells his name Ellis, but he was given the name Elice.

He was appointed administrator of the estate and after settling all claims sold the farm, and accompanied his mother and sister to Moline, Ill. After a month or two he started for Madison, Wisconsin to visit his uncle, Daniel Larkin, and in February, 1870, with his brother, Jerome B., went on ot Springfield, Mo. There they rented a farm of 400 acres and conducted it for two years. In the meanwhile his mother had settled on her farm in Wisconsin and he returned there for a visit and then went back to Holland, NY. After clerking in a store there for one year he worked as a hand in a blacksmith shop, in which he later became a partner; but after two years gave up his prospects there and returned to Wisconsin and while managing his mother's farm devoted his spare moments to study and in December, 1876, was graduated from the Northwester Business COllege. On 1 May 1877, he came to Moline and entered the employ of the Victor Scale Company as traveling builder and also worked occasionally in the shops, and in July, 1881 he became superintendent of the shops of this company and continued for four years. In 1885 he entered the shops of the Moline Plow Company as superintendent of one of their specialy departments, the Flying Dutchman Sulkey Plow, where he remained until he resigned the office, 3 June 1893.
