(VIII) Dennis E. Wheeler, son of Jolin Wheeler (7), was born February 28, 1851. He was raised on the old homestead where he was born, in Ber- lin. He attended the schools of his native town. Until 1868 he conducted the Wheeler farm on Wheeler Hill in Berlin. Then he moved to Leom- inster, Massachusetts, where he bought an excel- lent farm and where he has since then made his home. A few years ago he had the misfortune to have his barn destroyed by lightning, but he replaced it with a very fine new structure. Years ago he made a specialty of stock and his dairy became well known. He established a milk route which has grown to a large business. He has made a reputa- tion for the production of high grade milk and for the excellent service given his customers.

Mr. Wheeler is a Mason and is greatly interested in the work of the local lodge to which he belongs. He is interested in town affairs and has the con- fidence of his townsmen to an unusual degree.

He was living in the town's house and keeping the school in '1652, and he appears to have been the schoolmaster until his death, August 13, 1667. Daniel Henchman was engaged by the town to assist him in the grammar school, March 26, 1666. He gave land in Ipswich to Joseph Emerson as a marriage portion with his daughter Elizabeth.

He left Boston and settled probably at Westerly, in the vicinity of which his family appears on the records. The births of his children and name of his wife have not been found. Very little is known of the pioneer settler in Rhode Island and the Rhode Island history of the family begins after King Phil- ip's war. His children, born between 1676 and 1700, are found first at Charlestown, Rhode Island, where four of them were married, viz .: I. Joseph, see forward. 2.

He settled in the latter town, where his children were born. He was of Westerly when he married, July 7, 1719, Hannah Lyster, of Westerly (by Rev. Christopher Allen).

(V) Captain Josepli Woodmancy, son of Jo- seph Woodmancy (4), was born at Richmond, Rhode Island, June 14, 1742; married at Richmond, January 19, 1769, Mary Lewis (by Edward Perry, magistrate). He was a prominent citizen of Rich- mond, captain of the military company in the revo- lution and justice of the peace for many years. He was local magistrate and performed many mar- riages. His regiment was the first Kent county regiment. He or his son located in Scituate. The births of his children are not recorded. All the records during the revolutionary war and after- ward in that vicinity are deficient.

(VI) John Woodmancy, presumed to be son of Captain Joseph Woodmancy, and certainly a near relation, was born about 1780. He resided in North Scituate, Rhode Island, and presumably was born there. He married Mary West, a descendant of one of the early settlers in Rhode Island. Their chil- dren, born at North Scituate, were: John, born December 18, 1815, see forward; Phebe, married - Brown, of North Scituate.

(VII) John Woodmancy, son of John Wood- mancy (6), was born in North Scituate, Rhode Island, December 18, 1815. He was educated in the public schools, and learned the trade of stone mason. About the time his son Henry settled in Whitinsville, he made his home there also and for thirty years was in charge of the mason work for the late John C. Whitin on his large country place at Whitinsville. He died there April 24, 1897, aged eighty-one years, four months and six days. He had a sunny temperament and was a great favorite with all who knew him. He was familiarly known for many years as "Uncle John Woodmancy," and he won the respect of all the people with whom he came in contact. He was a Republican in politics and a Congregationalist in religion. Rev. John R. Thurston, of the First Congregational Church, of- ficiated at the funeral. The Congregational quartet,

consisting of Mrs. S. A. Carr, Mrs. F. W. Brownin, A. J. McAland and F. A. Balcom, sang. The bearers were: George M. Blanchard, C. E. Pollock, Robert Foster and George C. Kidd. The interment was at Pine Grove cemetery.

He married Mary Jones. Their children : Emily F., died young; Henry F., who died young; Henry F., see forward; Jeremiah W .; Charles A .. was a machinist in charge of the spindle department of the Whitin Machine Works, Whitinsville, Massa- chusetts; Ida I., born in Scituate, Rhode Island, educated in the public and high schools of Whitins- ville, attends Congregational Church, resides at the Iate home of her brother, Church street, Whitins- ville.

(VIII) Henry F. Woodmancy, son of John Woodmancy (7), was born April 4, 1843, at North Scituate, Rhode Island. He was educated in the public schools of East Greenwich, Rhode Island, and apprenticed to learn the trade of machinist in the Hopkins Machine Works at Pascoag, Rhode Island. From there he went to Holyoke, Massachu- setts, to work for the Whitin concern there and later came to Whitinsville to work under his brother Charles in the spindle department of the Whitin Machine Works. When his brother gave up his position on account of failing health, Henry Wood- mancy succeeded him, and held the position the re- mainder of his life. He was in the employ of the Whitins altogether a period of thirty-two years. In partnership with the late Gustavus E. Taft, lie se- cured a patent on a self-oiling spindle, called the Whitin-Rabbeth spindle, and it practically revolu- tionized cotton spinning by frame. That the in- vention was one of the most remarkable of the age has been demonstrated by the fact that the spindles have found their way into every country on the globe where cotton is manufactured. Mr. Wood- mancy's royalty on the patent amounted to a large sum and his heirs still receive it. He accumulated a handsome property. The patent rights are re- corded in every civilized country.

Mr. Woodmancy was very fond of hunting and fishing, and passed many of his vacations in the Maine woods. He organized the Whitinsville Fish and Game Club of thirty members, obtained control of Wallis pond in East Douglass and stocked it with trout. He enjoyed the respect and esteem of all his townsmen and the entire confidence of his employ- ers. The careful manner in which he attended to his duties shows that their confidence was not mis- placed. He always took great pride and satisfaction in his work, and throughout his life was eminently practical. He was a Republican in politics, but never cared for public office. In religion he was a ·Congregationalist. He died after a painful illness with inflammatory rheumatism, February 20, 1899, aged fifty-five years, nine months and twenty-seven days. The funeral was in charge of Rev. J. R. Thurston, of the First Congregational Church, who spoke in his eulogy words of high praise and ap- preciation of the life, character and services of Mr. Woodmancy. The floral contributions from the employees of the Whitin Machine Works gave evi- dence of the respect and esteem of the community. The Schumann quartet assisted. The bearers were: Emery B. Burbank, Bertram S. Sweet, Robert Sproat, Robert Foster, W. Eugene Johnston and Oscar Owen. The interment was in Pine Hill cemetery, Whitinsville.
