7. Salem Drury Wheelock, born 1819, Washington Co, NY

Notes:

In 1800, Salem, age 26-44, was living in Marshfield, Caledonia Co, VT, with one boy under 10, one girl under 10, and a female age 16-25.

He may be the Salem Wheelock that served during the War of 1812 as a private in the 11th Regiment US Infantry, serving in Captain Goodrich's company. He appears on the payroll of Lietenant Goodrich's company, 31 May 1813, stationed in Burlington, Vermont. For his service he was issued a patent on 15 Apr 1853 for 160 acres in Illinois, which land was granted to Moses Hoover. It is interesting to note that both James McKnight and James McKnight, Jr. served in the same company - relation to Abigail McKnight unknown.¹

He was living in Granville, Washington Co, NY, in 1820, age 45 or older, with a male 10 or under, a male 10-15, three females under 10, two 10-15, two females 16-25, and a female 45 or older. The 9 Jul 1823 edition of the Poultney Gazett, Poultney, VT, p. 3 (online at GenealogyBank.com) shows an uncollected letter awaiting in the Granville Post Office on 1 July 1823. His son, Salem Drury Wheelock, was born 1819 in Washington Co, NY (per 1855, 1865 New York Census).

He had probably settled in Auburn, Cayuga Co, NY by 1 July 1826, when a letter was awaiting him at the post office there.²

In 1830 he was living in Auburn, Cayuga Co, NY, age 50-59, with a female of the same age, and a male 10-14, a female under 5, and a female 15-19.

He could be the S. Wheelock living in Sennett, Cayuga Co, NY, in 1840 age 60-69, with a female age 60-69, and another age 10-14.

In 1850 he was living in Sennett, age 75, born MA, with Abigail, age 71, born VT, Mary, age 31, born PA, Salem D., age 5 [sic, probably Newton], born NY, Amanda, age 3, born NY, Augustus, age 5 months, born NY, and Newton, age 31 [sic, probably Salem D.], born NY, all with surname Wheelock. Also in the household was Isaac Bennet, age 27, born NY.

He died on 29 Aug 1853, aged 82 years, and is buried in Sennett, Cayuga Co, NY.

Census records suggest additional children in this family: (1) a male born between 1790 and 1799 who appears in the 1800 census, but not thereafter, (2) another male born between 1805 and 1809 who may have died young, (3) two additional females born between 1810 and 1819, and (4) another female born between 1826 and 1830. This latter might be the Caroline Wheelock living with Elvira (Wheelock) Ashley and her son in 1860 in Seneca Falls, Seneca Co, NY. Note also that Caroline Wheelock and Dewey Wheelock both had letters awaiting pickup at the Auburn post office, 1 Apr 1846. [Sc: Auburn Journal and Advertiser (Auburn, NY), 15 Apr 1846, p. 4; online at GenealogyBank.com, 16 Apr 2022.]

Birth Date:

The census records are not consistent regarding Salem's birth date. The 1850 census suggests he was born ca. 1775. Other census records suggest a birth date between 1771 and 1780. His headstone (aged 82) implies a birth date between 29 Aug 1770 and 28 Aug 1771. The birth of his younger brother, Jennison, who was born 31 May 1770 (per Charlton VRs) precludes a birth anytime between June 1770 and Mar 1771, leaving a narrow range between Apr 1771 and Aug 1771. Salem's brother, Amos, was born 5 Mar 1772, which further shrinks the possible birth window for Salem.

Given the lack of room in the birth sequence for Rachel's children between 31 May 1770 and 5 Mar 1772, and the long time span (6 years) between the birth of Amos (5 Mar 1772) and the birth of Mary (29 Mar 1778), it is presumed that Salem was born within this time frame (say 1775), and that his age at death on his gravestone is incorrect.

He was probably born in Charlton, but no record has been found there.
