Clark S. Gray

Birth: 6 Jul 1813, East Montpelier, Washington Co, VT

Death: 17 Jan 1892, Calais, Washington Co, VT

Burial: Fairview Cemetery, East Calais, Washington Co, VT

Father: Isaac Gray
Mother: Betsey Stevens

Spouse: Luthera C. Wheelock
Marriage: 7 Jan 1841, Montpelier, Washington Co, VT

  1. Elliot S. Gray, born 8 Dec 1843, East Montpelier, Washington Co, VT
  2. George Henry Gray, born calculated 26 Sep 1844, East Montpelier, Washington Co, VT
  3. Charles Augustus Gray, born 1847, East Montpelier, Washington Co, VT

Notes:

Research Notes:

In The Wheelock Family of Calais M. W. Waite identifies his parents as Isaac Gray and Betsey Stevens. But his Vermont state death record identifies his parents as Nathaniel Gray and Sally Merritt.1

The vital and probate records support the claim made by M. W. Waite. The will of Betsey Gray, of East Montpelier, written 7 Feb 1887, probated 30 Jan 1891, leaves a bequest to "my brother, Clark S. Gray," and to "my sister, Mary Stevens." The will also mentions her brother Isaac Gray, his children, as well as "George H. Gray and Charles A. Gray, children of my brother Clark S. Gray."2 The death record of Betsey Gray, dated 24 Dec 1890, East Montpelier, identifies her parents as Isaac Gray and Betsey Stevens, thereby connecting Clark S. Gray to his parents - Isaac and Betsey.3 Except for his death record, no other record was found that ties Clark to Nathaniel Gray and/or Sally Merritt.

Sarah C. Thornton

Birth: 5 Mar 1830

Death: 11 Apr 1872

Burial: Center Cemetery, Lyman, Grafton Co, NH

Father: Adna Thornton
Mother: Betsey Moulton

Spouse: Cyrus Wheelock
Marriage: 22 Nov 1853, Lyman, Grafton Co, NH

  1. Elizabeth B. Wheelock, born about 1855
  2. Adna Thornton Wheelock, born 1 Dec 1858

Notes:

Her headstone gives her name as "Sarah Converse" husband of Cyrus Wheelock. However, the 1853 NH marriage record refers to her as Sarah C. Thornton.

She was age 23 when she married, suggesting that it was her first marriage, that her maiden name was Thornton, and her middle name probably Converse. Her parents were likely Adna Thornton (1791 - 1842) and Betsey Moulton (1795 - 1885), as outlined in the following argument.

Adna Thornton is buried in the same cemetery as Sarah (Center Cemetery, Lyman, NH). Per headstone, his wife was Betsey M. Thornton. Betsey Thornton, age 54, is enumerated in the 1850 U.S. census living in Lyman, Grafton Co, NH, in the household of Michael and Hanna Stevens, with Sarah C. Thornton, age 19. This is likely Sarah Converse Thornton. Adna had died in 1842 (per headstone), which is why he is not present in the 1850 census.

Cyrus Wheelock and Sarah Thornton had a son, Adna Thornton Wheelock, further reinforcing the idea that Adna Thornton was Sarah's father.

Eleazer Wheelock

Birth: 15 Jul 1756, Mendon, Worcester Co, MA

Death: 1841

Burial: Evergreen Cemetery, Rutland, VT

Father: Jonathan Wheelock
Mother: Ruth Daniels

Spouse: Thankful Maynard
Marriage: 9 Dec 1779, Westborough, Worcester Co, MA

  1. Susanna Wheelock, born 28 May 1784, Rutland, Rutland Co, VT
  2. Hepzibah Wheelock, born about 1787
  3. Stephen Maynard Wheelock, born 1789
  4. John Wheelock, born 1791

Notes:

Eleazar fought in the Revolutionary War. He marched on the Lexington Alarm with Captain Brigham's Company of Westborough Minute Men. He later served under his cousin, Captain Moses Wheelock.

The 1790 Federal Census shows Eleazar living in Rutland with 1 male under sixteen, and 2 females.

According to DAR records (Vol 17, Pg 291, Miss Hortense I. Porter, great-great-granddaughter of Eleazar Wheelock), Eleazar married Thankful Maynard, was placed on the Vermont Pension Roll, and died in Rutland, VT. "Soldier, Sailors, and Patriots of Vermont", Fisher and Fisher, 1992, reports that Eleazar is buried in Rutland, but that his grave was not located. "Rutland County Vermont Cemetery Inscriptions", by Margaret R. Jenks, 1995, Privately Printed, states that Eleazar was buried with his wife in Section 21, Evergreen Cemetery, Rutland, VT.

Buried next to Eleazar and his wife, Thankful Maynard, is Reverend Stephen M. Wheelock, 1789-1849, and Susan M. Wheelock, daughter of Stephen M. Wheelock and B.P., 1843-1849. Nearby is the grave of Hepsibah Wheelock (d. 6 Feb 1866, age 79), and her husband James Porter, MD (d. 1854, age 74 years).

The Records of the Congregational Church of Rutland, VT show that Stephen Maynard Wheelock, an ordained minister, was admitted to the church 19 May 1811, on which date he was also baptised. Based on the middle name Maynard, his burial next to Eleazar Wheelock and Thankful Maynard Wheelock, and the 1790 Census showing an additional male in the household, we reach the conclusion that he is a son of Eleazar and Thankful.

A Stephen M. Wheelock was Reverend at the Western Presbyterian Church in Palmyra, NY, 1817.1
