The South African line is a direct line of Joseph Wheelock QC and older brother of Thomas Wheelock who migrated to Peru.

The South African line came from Arthur Wheelock grandson and a former member of the Royal Artillery who served in the BOER War, following his resignation from the Army he decided to stay in South Africa and joined the Transvaal Mounted police.

This is a relatively new Family line which I just started the research.

Of what little is known, The South African Wheelock’s have diversified into engineering and the Diamond industry.
