Spouse: Mary Janette Near
Marriage: about 1863, probably NY

1. Frank James Wheelock, born calculated 7 Feb 1864, New York, NY
2. Charles Henry Wheelock, born 31 Dec 1865, Worcester, Worcester Co, MA

Notes:

Charles Wheelock, age 19, splitter, is listed on the 1850 U.S. census in Barre, Worcester Co, MA, in the houseold of Jason Desper.

No birth record has been found for Charles Gleason Wheelock in Barre. But a Westfield record of marriage of Chas G Wheelock to Lucinda Avery, dated 24 Apr 1854, states that he was 23 years old, gentlemen, resident of Worcester, born in Barre, son of Moses & Mary.

He is probably the Charles Wheelock, age 24, that is enumerated in the 1855 Mass state census living in Worcester, curiously without Lucinda, his new wife. His brother, Henry M. Wheelock, age 23, is enumerated in the same household.

Chas G. Wheelock was a waiter at Thurston & Rice's in the 1854 Worcester city directory. He is not listed in the 1855-1856 city directories, but he is listed in the 1857 directory, "at Spurr & Lewis's [restaurant]," and in 1859 thru 1862 as a jobber, housed at 77 Exchange St. He is missing from the 1863-1865 city directories. He is probably the Charles Wheelock, hack driver (taxi driver, chauffer), housed at 1 Columbia Court in the 1866 Worcester directory. Chas G. Wheelock is listed in the 1867 Worcester directory as a hack driver, housed at 14 Fruit. He is not listed in the 1868 directory, but he is in the 1869 and 1870 directories, hackman, housed at 3 Central Court. In 1871 he is listed again as a hackman, housed at 3 Houchin Ave.¹

This may be the Charles G. Wheelock, age 32, teamster, married, born in Mass. that registered for the Civil War draft in June 1863 in the first congressional district of Rhode Island (including Newport, Bristol, and parts of Providence Co).²

Charles G. Wheelock and Lucinda Avery must have divorced, but no record has yet been found. Both went on to marry other people (see notes for Lucinda).

On 31 Dec 1865, an unnamed male child was born in Worcester, son of Charles G. Wheelock, hackman, born Mass, and Mary, born NY. ["Massachusetts: Vital Records, 1841-1910," database with image, AmericanAncestors.org (https://www.americanancestors.org/search/databasesearch/191/massachusetts-vital-records-1841-1910 : accessed 4 Jan 2022), Worcester births, vol. 179, p. 264, male Wheelock birth; from Massachusetts State Archives, Boston.] The Worcester town records contain the name of the child - Charles Henry Wheelock.³

Charles G. Wheelock of Worcester is identified as a child of Moses Wheelock in the petition to adminster his fathers estate, dated 7 Dec 1867.⁴

He is probably the Chas G Wheelock in Worcester in 1870, age, 38, born Mass, hackman, with Kity Wheelock, age 30, born NY, Frank Wheelock, age 7, born NY, and Chas H Wheelock, age 4, born Mass.

Chas G. Wheelock is enumerated in the 1875 Rhode Island census living in Providence Ward 7, age 38 [sic], physician, living with Kittie J. Wheelock, age 34, wife, born NY, Frank J. Wheelock, age 12, born NY, scholar, and Chas H. Wheelock, age 9, born MA, scholar.

In 1880 Charles G. Wheelock, age 46, born Mass, coachman, was living in Newport, Rhode Island, with his wife, Mary, age 39, born NY, Frank Wheelock, age 16, born NY, and Charles Wheelock, age 13, born Mass. Per marriage record of their son, Charles Henry Wheelock, Mary's surname was Near.⁵

In 1885 in Providence, Rhode Island, Chas G. Wheelock, married, age 55, born Mass, hack driver, is enumerated in the RI state census in district 33, family 66, with Mary Wheelock, Chas H. Wheelock, tool manufacturer, and Frank J. Wheelock, machinist.⁶

Mary Janette Wheelock, age 56, wife of Charles G. Wheelock, daughter of Columbus and Jane Near, born Poughkeepsie, NY, died 6 Feb 1897, in Providence.⁷

Charles Gleason Wheelock died 27 June 1901, aged 70 years, 3 months, 16 days, a widower and a resident of Providence, Rhode Island. His birth place is listed as Barre, Mass. Per death record, he was buried in the North Burial Ground in Providence. Mrs Isabella Thaxter, sister-in-law, was the informant.⁸
