Mr. Stevens worked back from John Wheatleigh,

Iu volume I of the English "Genealogist" and "Somerset, Berkshire and other visitations," is to be found the pedigree of the Wheatleys springing from John and Thomas who appear to have been brothers. Many of the early records here given were taken from a book in the possession of Sir Harold "Wheatley, who lived in County Bedford and died in 1(577 about 8t) years of age.

She had cared for Mr. Bowman through a long sickness and before being taken sick had expressed the belief that her work was nearly done, and made extra effort to complete it, and seemed to have a call to S2:)ecial faithfulness. Immediately upon giving up she said she should not recover, and made all plans for her funeral. She spoke of wanting her old minister. Dr. L. O. Barstowof Burlington, to conduct the services. Also said "I should like to die on a pleasant Sunday evening," and as the sun was setting the next bright Sunday afternoon she murnuired, "My work is done; I have done \\hat I could;" and passed quietly away, to meet her children and friends who had gone before.

There are names that have in them all the sweetness of music, and when they are spoken they bring peace and comfort and beautiful memories; such was Edie.

She was of medium height, rather stout, with a face shining with (luiet happiness and unselfishness; a soft, sweet voice, which had no harshness when commanding, although she was a strict disciplinarian.

Dr. Wilcox was a Mason and Odd Fellow and was prominent in Vermont and Massachusetts medical societies.

This continued until the fall of 1878, when he went to Milwaukee, Wis., and liecame pastor of the Fii-st Baptist Church in that city, and so continued until the spring of 1881, when he returned to Janesville, Wis., and entered on a second pastorate with this church, which continued over sixteen years, and ended June 1, 1S'.7. However, the Doctor's ability as a preacher was still in demaTid in Wisconsin, and for the second time he was called to minister in the church at Beaver Dam. In 1849 Dr. Hodge received the honorary degree of A. M. from the University of Vermont, and the same from Rochester University in 1854. He received a!so the degree of D.

After the death of his wife, April 11, 19(10, Dr. Hodge felt that he was unable longer to carry the resi)onsil)ilities of a pastorate, and so, May 1, closing his work at Beaver Dam, he went to the home of his oldest daughter, ^Vlrs.

Doubtless many are descendants from the same families. Edmund Wingate, the sou of Martha Wheatleigh and Roger Wingate (see page 14) was a near relative of Sir Francis Wingate, the justice who sent John Bunyan to Bedford jail in 1660, Their descendants, who are numeious in southern New Hampshire, are very active
