Biography

Samuel, second of name and son of Samuel and Hannah (Amidon) Wheelock, was probably born in Mendon, MA and was baptized in Milford, Massachusetts on September 22, 1745.[1][2] He married Dinah Leland in 1770. [3]

Samuel and Dinah had the following children:[4]

  1. Mille
  2. Azuba
  3. Anna
  4. Luther (b. c1782)
  5. Alexander

It appears that Dinah died and Samuel remarried to Thankful, as she is listed in probate records and deeds. Probate records list one daughter not mentioned in the Leland Genealogy. Its possible that she is the daughter of Samuel and Thankful:

  1. Vashti
