These included Abner and Barnard Hoyt, who had settled earlier in Danville. Their brother Thomas remained in Danville. The first settlers of Wheelock were Joseph and Abigail (Morrill)Page. They came after their marriage on Christmas Day 1788. They were soon joined by Abraham Morrill and Dudley Sweasy/Swazey. Sweasy was born in Exeter, removed to Louden, NH and came to Danville before 1792. He married Apphia Lougee of Exeter, published 21 FEb 1796. He and his wife are buried in N. Danville.
