Notes:

Henry J. Clarke, in "Captain Ralph Wheelock, His Ancestors and Some of His Descendants", 1903 writes:

"In 1718, the selectmen of Medfield petitioned the general court to grant them some county lands; this was the first movement on record toward the settlement of Sturbridge, or "New Medfield," as it was then called."

Mr. Clarke writes that Ralph Wheelock fought in the Revolutionary War. This may be true, as several of Ralph's brothers fought in the War; but the only record in "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War" is for Private Ralph Wheelock of Sturbridge. This was Ralph Wheelock's son, Ralph, Jr., of Pompey, NY, who later applied for and received a pension for having fought in "the Massachusetts line" (see "New York Pensioners", 1835). By the time the war started, Ralph, Sr. had already attained the rank of Captain, as indicated by the Sturbridge record of his marriage intention to Experience Crary; so it would not be likely that he would serve in the war with the rank of private.

Mr. Clarke writes further about Ralph:

"Captain Ralph Wheelock was treasurer of the town of Sturbridge for nearly twenty-five years from 1760, and was also selectman, assessor and constable; he was chosen a committee to purchase two and a half barrels of gun powder in 1774. He lived on the farm, formerly belonging to his father-in-law, James Dennison, and now owned by Willard Morse of Southbridge. In 1803 he sold 20 acres to his son Calvin, on the top of the hill; he sold 100 acres to his son James, which extended as far south as Abel Mason's land. In 1809, he conveyed a portion of his farm to his son Ephraim, now owned by George W. Wells, opposite the residence of Franklin Jacobs, in Southbridge. In 1804, he conveyed a portion of his farm to his son Moses, formerly owned by Vernon Chamberlain, in Southbridge; also, the same year, he conveyed a portion to his son Eleazer, formerly the James Morse farm. Dennison, had what is known as the Truman Chamberlain farm. Thus he gave his son shomes and saw them settled around him before he died."

"He [Capt. Ralph Wheelock] with fifty others, sold a tract of land to the Baptist church for 10 pounds. He and his sons were petitioners for setting off the town of Southbridge from Sturbridge, which latter town then contained 20,032 acres, and extended from Oxford to Brimfield, and from the state line to Brookfield. Captain Ralph, and his three sons, Ensign Dennison, Eleazer, and Ephraim, were among the proprieters of the Congregational Church in Sturbridge, whose church building was "raised" July 4th, 1797, and completed in 1800. In 1798, Capt. Ralph was the fifth largest real estate owner in Sturbridge, having 250 acres, valued at $3124.00; Dennison had 130 acres valued at $1565; Eleazer had 56 acres valued at $867.00; and Ephraim 3 acres valued at $49.00."

There is a painting on display in the National Art Gallery in Washington, DC, entitled "Ralph Wheelock's Farm", painted circa 1822 by Francis Alexander, who lived not far from Sturbridge, MA (in Connecticut). The painting was donated by Edgar William and Bernice Chrysler Garbisch.

When the painting was aquired by Colonel Garbisch, it bore the title "Dennison Hall, Sturbridge, MA", and the author was unknown. Upon further research, it was discovered that there was no "Dennison Hall" in Sturbridge, but there was a Dennison Hill in Southbridge, which was once part of Sturbridge. When photographed in the mid 1900's, the topography of Dennison Hill proved nearly identical to that represented in the painting. The painting was then renamed "Dennison Hill, Southbridge". Further research indicated that the white house in the middle of the painting was built by Captain Ralph Wheelock in 1765. The painting was then renamed "Ralph Wheelock's Farm".

The Jacob Edwards Library in Southbridge displays a painting of Globe Village, not far from Ralph Wheelock's farm, which is known to have been painted by Alexander, circa 1822. This painting bears an unmistakable resemblence in style, treatment of figures, and application of paint to that of "Ralph Wheelock's Farm".

An image of this painting is available online at www.nga.gov (May 2000).
