Mr. Rodriquez,
Perhaps you may already know this, but just in case you don't, Samuel Whedon is buried in the Tiplady Cemetery in Hebron, Washington County, New York. His mother, Rachel nee Tyrel Wheaton is buried there, too. She was 67 years old at her death on July 18, 1851 (1784-1851). Her husband John is named on her headstone but isn't buried in that cemetery.
Samuel Tyrel and his wife Eunice who could be the parents of Rachel are buried there also. Samuel Tyrel was 77 when he died on December 12, 1834 (1757-1834). Eunice, Samuel Tyrel's wife died on November 23, 1843. There is no clue to her birthdate on the headstone. Eunice Tyrel is possibly the daughter of John and Jane Hamilton, who died on May 6, 1799.
My great, great grandmother JaneWhedon/Wheadon/Wheaton is probably either a sister or cousin of Samuel Hamilton Whedon. She was born in 1821, and her sister Almira was born in 1815. Jane married Eliphus Winn of Townsend, Massachusetts in 1841. Four of their five children were born in Hebron. After 1852, they moved to Dodge County, Wisconsin, where my great grandfather Charles, their fifth child was born. Eliphus is buried in the Waupun cemetery. I have the obituary notice for Jane. There is an unmarked grave, which could be hers, next to Eliphus. Almira, who didn't marry, lived with them.
