THE WHEELOCK FAMILY IN AMERICA WHELOK 1285 1637 - 1969 COMPILED BY WALTER T. WHEELOCK PREFACE This genealogy was written principally for the current descendants of Ralph Wheelock, dating from his arrival in America. It is my hope that future generations will add the necessary dates as the years pass. Our family has a distinguished heritage with qualities of intelligence, courage, and determination that should continue to be an inspiration for future generations. The research for this book has covered a period of 14 years. My mother, Harriet Tobey Wheelock, was always interested in family history and we started compiling the letters together with a published version in mind as far back as 1955. It could not, however, have become a reality without the letters and records loaned to me by Leon H. Smith of New Paltz, New York. Among the many who have helped make this compilation possible, have been my family, John M. Dauray of Uxbridge, Mary G. and Perley C. Wheelock of Woonsocket. Their enthusiasm and interest for this research have been bound less. I would also like to thank those who so generously loaned me the photo graphs that are reproduced in this publication. This has been a challenging and rewarding avocation for me and with sincerity and great affection I would like to dedicate this genealogy to my mother, Harriet Tobey Wheelock, and to Leon Hills Smith.
