Death: 15 Feb 1841, Burrillville, RI
Father: Daniel Wheelock
Mother: Keziah Hunt
Spouse: Levina Hunt
Marriage: 17 Feb 1796, Uxbridge, Worcester, MA
Partner: Lydia Mitchell
Notes:
Seth was born probably in Glocester, Rhode Island, between 1771 and 1775 (per 1800 thru 1830 U.S. census records).
In 1796, he married his cousin, Levina Hunt, in Uxbridge.[1]
In 1800 he was living in Glocester, Rhode Island, per census. Circa 1806, Burrillville was formed from the northern part of Glocester; and in 1810 he is enumerated in Burrillville, probably without having moved.
The children of Seth and Levina are taken from multiple sources. First, his 30 Oct 1837 will, in which he leaves bequests to his daughters Hannah, Lucinda, and Julia, and his sons Seth, Calvin, Daniel, and Dana.[2] Second, several of his children died before maturity, and are buried in the Burrillville Historical Cemetery 106 (otherwise known as the "Seth Wheelock Lot"). These are Pardon D. Wheelock, died Jan 1824, Jeremiah Wheelock, also died Jan 1824, and Lavina Wheelock, died Feb 1824.[3] Third, the death records of two of his children, Jeremiah (2nd) and Calvin each identify their birth place as Burrillville, Rhode Island, and their parents as Seth Wheelock and Lydia (no maiden given). Both were born in the 1820's, after the death of Seth's wife Lavina.[4]
On 30 Dec 1819, Seth Wheelock presented the inventory of the estate of his son in law, Smith Brown, to the probate court, approved 1 Jan 1820.[5]
His will was written on 30 Oct 1837, referring to himself as "of Burrillville, County of Providence, State of Rhode Island." He left $200 to his son Calvin; 1 dollar each to his three daughters Hannah, Lucinda, and Julia; two thirds of his personal estate to his son Seth; and the residue of his remaining personal and real estate to his sons Daniel and Dana.[6]
The inventory of his estate was presented to the probate court by Daniel Wheelock 25 Sep 1841. It includes a line item "to an account against Lydia Mitchel".[7] This is of interest because the mother of Seth's last two children was named Lydia. Lydia Mitchell's 23 Feb 1884 probate record (disposition of estate) indicates that her estate left $500 each to both Jeremiah and Calvin Wheelock, providing evidence that she was their mother.[8] Lydia and Seth were probably never married, at least she never changed her last name, and never appears to have lived with Seth. See notes for Lydia for more detail.

The above is not a complete listing. The headstone of Phyletus Wheelock, Seth's cousin, is well preserved, and also located in that cemetery. No doubt, other headstones are there as well.

Notes:
A Woodward Wheelock, age probably 40-50, is enumerated in the 1840 Census living in Berlin, Washington Co, VT. He appears to be married, with 2 young males (under 15) in the household, and three females under 10, one 15-20, and one (presumably his wife) age 40-50.
Woodward Wheelock, age 60, is enumerated in the 1860 census living in the household of Nathan Wheeler in Moretown, Washington Co, VT.
Woodward Wheelock lived on the Windsor Town Farm from 1871 to his death in 1879. He is listed there in 1878 (age 80), next to Mrs. Wheelock, his presumed wife, age 70. The next year, in 1879, the year of his death, per vital records, the Windsor poor house charged the town $5 for the purchase of a coffin for him.
His wife, Lucretia(?) Wheelock, is enumerated in the 1880 census, widowed, living on the Windsor town farm. She presumably died 16 July 1896 according to an article in the 25 July 1896 Vermont Journal. Both are buried in the Old South Church Cemetery in Windsor, Windsor County, Vermont.
