George, your information is most welcome. Many thanks. Here's the information about my grandmother's family line, which is the one I'm exploring: I am JACK WHEELOCK McCULLOUGH (b. 26 May 1931, Denver CO). -----I am son of JAY WHEELOCK McCULLOUGH (b. 22 May 1900, Clarendon AR; d. 29 May 1980, Louisville KY). -----He was son of JOSEPHINE WHEELOCK (b. 13 July 1876, Clarendon AR; d. 7 Jan 1968, Louisville KY) -----She was daughter of JOSEPH LAFAYETTE WHEELOCK (b. 21 Feb 1832, Clarendon AR; d. 11 Mar 1876. Josephine and her sister Kate were adopted by Joseph Lafayette's brother Jay McKendrie Wheelock,since their father died four months before they were born.) -----He was son of CEPHAS or JOSEPHAS WHEELOCK (b. 3 Apr 1792, Heath MA; d. 1874, Iuka MS. Birth of Josephas is recorded in MA vital records with a note that "Cephas" appears in church records.) CEPHAS married twice: -----First: on 1 Jan 1910 in Conway MA [not AR] he married Abigail C. Beal, 23 Dec 1788-16 Aug 1854. Their children included: Augustin Maria, Caleb Beal, John, Joseph, Dorothy, George, and Abigail, all born in Conway MA. -----Second: on 2 may 1854 in Jericho VT he married Mehitable Spaulding. I have no information about Mehitable, but her children with Cephas include: John, Susan B. (married William Simons), Cornelia (married __ Hickman), Elizabeth (married __ Collyer), Lucinda Ann, Mathilda Jane, JOSEPHINE, Joseph Lafayette (married Louisa Jane Counts; see above); Alonzo[?], Jerome E. (JOSEPHINE and her sister Kate shared in his estate.), Jay McKendrie (married Mary E. Counts; adopted JOSEPHINE and Kate) Cephas is the only name I can tie to Iuka or Eastport, but my information is sketchy, and some of it is questionable. I am very interested in tracing the movement of the family from Massachusetts to Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas. My Wheelock and McCullough lines converged in Arkansas, in the Clarendon-Brink ley-DeValls Bluff area, and I have discovered quite a bit about that history. Now I need to back up a bit. Again, many thanks for your help. I'll be grateful for anything that crops up in the future. Jack
