I just came across your blog for the first time and I'm awestruck by the sheer number of individuals you have researched. BRAVO! <br /><br />Ralph Wheelock is one of my 10th great-grandfathers via his daughter Record Wheelock.<br /><br />Record was born 15 Oct 1644 - recorded as 5 (10) 1644 - in Dedham and married Increase Ward on 3 Oct 1672 in Medford, Norfolk, MA. I would be happy to email you a copy of her birth record.<br /><br />Her husband, Increase Ward, was the son of William Ward and Elizabeth Storey (his 2nd wife). He was born 22 Feb 1624 in Sudbury, Middlesex, MA and died 25 Aug 1690 in Marlborough, Middlesex, MA. <br /><br />Increase and Record's daughter, Record Ward, was born 28 Jan 1677 in Marlborough; married Thomas Newton 17 Aug 1698; and died 4 Nov 1746 in Westborough. <br /><br />Thomas was the son of John Newton and Elizabeth Larkin. He was born 27 Dec 1674 in Marlborough and died 02 Nov 1746 in Westborough. <br /><br />Thomas and Record had 7 known children including my 7th great-grandfather Obediah Newton who was born 6 Jan 1702 in Malborough and died 11 May 1753 in Grafton, Worcester, MA. <br /><br />He wed Abigail Baxter about 1824 in Worcester. Abigail was born abt 1704 in Grafton and died abt 1750 in Worcester Co. <br /><br />Their first born, Phineas Newton, was born 5 Feb 1726 in Shrewsbury, Worcester Co., MA and died 19 Oct 1808 in Croydon, Sullivan Co., NH. He married Abigail Drury, daughter of Thomas Drury and Sarah Clark, abt 1748 in Worcester. <br /><br />Abigail was born 16 Dec 1725 in Grafton and died 1 Dec 1783 also in Croydon, Sullivan Co., NH. They had 12 children, one of whom was my 5th great-grandfather, Jonas Newton. He was born 3 Feb 1764 in Worcester and married Tryphena Pond on 15 Dec 1785 in Hubbardston. <br /><br />Tryphena, the daughter of Ezra Pond and Sarah Morse, was born 12 Aug 1769 in Wrentham, Norfolk Co., MA. I have more work to do on Jonas and "Phene" as a couple. They were residing in Hubbardston with their first two children, Abijah and Hannah, in 1790. The 1800-1810-1820- and 1830 census' MAY find them in Framingham, Middlesex County MA, in which case "Phene" died between 1800-1810 and Jonas between 1820-1830. <br /><br />Their son, Abijah Newton, my 4th great-grandfather, was born 21 Jun 1786 in Hubbardston; married Mary Edmonson abt 1806 in Ticonderoga, Essex Co., NY; moved to Ontario Canada around 1818 where he died in the mid 1840's. <br /><br />Their daughter, Leonora Newton, born 31 Dec 1808 in Ticonderoga, Essex Co., NY, is my 3rd great-grandmother. She married James MacDonald abt 1825 in Whitchurch, Ontario, Canada. She died 29 Nov 1892 in East Luther Twp., Dufferin Co., Ontario. <br /><br />Her husband, James "Peel" MacDonald, was born 11 Mar 1802 in Lochwinnoch, Renfrew Co., Scotland and died 20 Jan 1856 in Peel Twp., Wellington, Ontario, Canada. He was the son of John "The Patriach" MacDonald and Margaret Gibson. <br /><br />(Leonora married widower Silas Card on 26 Feb 1867 in Peel Twp., Wellington Co., Ontario following the death of James.)<br /><br />James and Leonora's son, James was born 03 Oct 1838 in Peel Twp., Wellington, Ontario; married Catherine Campbell on 21 Mar 1862 in Wellington County, Ontario and died 19 May 1918 in Elora, Wellington, Ontario, Canada. <br /><br />Catherine Campbell, born 24 Sep 1843 in Vankleek Hill, Glengarry County, Ontario, Canada was the daughter of Miles Campbell and Isabella Dewar. She died 1 May 1926 in Elora, Wellington, Ontario. <br /><br />Their son, Miles MacDonald, was born 31 Mar 1865 in Elora, Wellington, Ontario; married Martha Stowe abt 1886; and died 4 Jul 1912 in Collingwood, Simcoe, Ontario, living Martha with 6 children including my grandmother, Myrtle MacDonald. <br /><br />So there you have it - right down to my grandma.
