Joseph and Elizabeth Wheelock;
Holly Bundy: Since
Elizabeth Wheelock (w/o Jonathan Sawyer, Capt.) was born in the 1600s, she
should most probably be a descendant of the immigrant, Ralph Wheelock I
(born 1600) and his wife and immigrant Rebecca Clarke (born 1610). I have
only one child from them, surely more kids? It was Eleazer Wheelock I,
Capt. and one child from him, Ralph Wheelock II, Deacon/Rev., whose wife was
Ruth Huntington.²
