Her son, William A. Wheelock, was appointed executor of her estate, Worcester County Probate case 46440, and posted bond 5 July 1848. The administration of estate mentions Stephen Davis, Russell T. Wheelock, and Salem Towne as holders of notes. The settlement records include payments to Archibald Campbell for wood.

The Oxford Vital Records to 1850 state that she died 3 June 1848, but her headstone and her administration of estate (Worc case 46440) both state 1 June 1848.
