Ithamar Wheelock served in the Revolutionary War. He appears in the New Hampshire rolls, in a list of 21 men enrolled from the town of New Ipswich, NH, in 1777, age 16. (Source: "The State of New Hampshire, Part I, Rolls and Documents Relating To Soldiers in the Revolutionary War", Vol I of War Rolls, Vol XIV of Series, Compiled and Editted by Isaac W. Hammond, Concord, NH, 1885)

"The History of New Ipswich, NH, 1735-1914", by Charles Henry Chandler, assisted by Sarah Fiske Lee, Sentinel Printing Company, Fitchburg, MA, 1914, has the following to say about Ithamar:

"He lived upon the farm at the foot of Kidder Mountain next west from that of his brother Joel, previously the home of Silas Richardson. He served in the Revolution, but became poor with advancing age, and as those days offered to veterans no such home as a grateful country now provides, his closing years were necessarily passed upon the town farm."
