In Reply to: Moses Wheelock of Berkshire County, Massachusetts 1850 by Timothy Simpson of 943

A Moses Wheelock, age 79y, 4m, 17d died on 6 Oct
1882 in South Hadley, MA, implying a birth date of
20 May 1803. His birthplace is listed as
"Brimfield", parents unknown. (Src: MA
338:28). This is probably the son of Henry
Wheelock and Phoebe Dickinson, and most likely the
husband of Mary, mentioned in your post.

As stated, he is enumerated in the 1850 Census living in
Williamstown, MA, age 47, laborer, born in CT,
wife Mary, age 47, born in MA, children Henry J.,
age 20, born MA, Madison J, age 18, born MA,
William F., age 9, born MA, and Mary M, age 5,
born in MA.

He is enumerated in the 1860 Census living in
Adams, MA, with is wife Mary, children William
F. and Mary M.

In 1870 he is in Chicopee, MA, age 67, born MA,
with Mary, age 64, born MA, and Ellen, age 24,
born MA.

By 1880 his wife Mary had died, and he is listed as a widower, living in the household
of his daughter, Mary Morton in South Hadley,
MA. His birthplace is given as VT, and his middle
initial is given as L.

His wife, Mary, must have died between 1870 and
1880. A Mary S. (Bliss) Wheelock died in South
Hadley, 10 Aug 1876, age 74y, 14d, married,
daughter of Ithamar and Mary, born in
Wilbraham. (Src: MA 284:27) This is the only Mary
Wheelock in the area that died in this time
period, and was probably Moses' wife.
