I am looking for information on Job WHEELER. He married Jane SQUIRE in 1731, most likely in Milford, CT. I believe that he is the son of Thomas WHEELER.

Can someone please provide me with something? He's been our mystery man for generations!! Thanks, Sharon

Does anyone have any information about Daniel WHEELER born in Bridgeport, Connecticut and married to Charity JENNINGS? He was the father of Joseph Albert WHEELER, born Dec 4, 1838, supposedly in Fairfield, CT, died Jan 27, 1920 in Middletown, CT. Joseph married Caroline STEVENS in Bridgeport, CT, and had four children, Hattie, Fred, Jessie, and Willie. Joseph's death certificate has his birth place listed as Fairfield, but there doesn't seem to be any record of his birth in the Fairfield vital records. I belive his date of birth is correct.

There also doesn't seem to be any information on this family in Albert Wheeler's "History of Wheelers in America".

I would like any information on Daniel, his wife Charity Jennings or the birthplace of Joseph. Also are any of you decended from Joseph Wheeler? Thanks, Bob MORIN - Waterbury, Conn.

Comments: I found your page by surfing. I am researching WHEELERs and related families as JAYNEs and LONGs. Starting from Stephan Moses WHEELER - 2 sons William WHEELER and James WHEELER. My line is through James WHEELER. He married Abigail JAYNE - 2 of their children were Stephen WHEELER and Abigail WHEELER. Stephen WHEELER married Milly ??????. They had a son Stephen, JR. Abigail married Henry JAYNE (s/o Isaac JAYNE and Mary JONES), one of their daughters was Margaret JAYNE. Stephen WHEELER, Jr. married Margaret JAYNE. They were 1st cousins. They were my g-g-grandparents. Their son Andrew was my g-grandfather. He married Sarah (Sally) WHEELER. One of their sons James William WHEELER was my grandfather. He married Elsa Elizabeth LONG. One of their daughters was Felicia WHEELER, my mother. She married Fred Louis BATES, and voila here I am. The descendents of William WHEELER are well documented. His son was James Moses WHEELER. I guess that's it for now. Thanks a lot. JIM

The WHEELERs landed in Connecticut and lived in Tolland and Windham counties. They went to Orange County, NY, then to Washington and Russell counties in VA.. They lived for a while in Floyd Co., KY and Casey County, Ky. My g-g-grandfather Stephen WHEELER is buried in Casey Co., KY. His wife Margaret (JAYNE) is buried in Whited Cemetery, Liberty, KY. Thanks for listening. JIM

Hello, My name is Chantel Tiffany WHEELER and I have begun my family history research. Can anyone confirm info on Edward WHEELER who was born in England (when ? ) and who emigrated to America in 1726 to settle in New Haven, Conn. I know he had children but I don't know his wife's name, kid's name's & birthday's, etc. except that they were born in New Haven, Conn.. The next proven info I have is one of his g-kid's. James T. WHEELER, born in West Haven, Rutland Vermont on July 15, 1803. I'm stuck. Can anyone fill in some of the voids? I will share more of the info I have too.

According to "The Wheeler Genealogy" Deacon John WHEELER was the son of Thomas WHEELER, Senior of Fairfield, CT. His wife Hannah's first husband Samuel was the son of Ens. Isaac WHEELER, son of Ephraim who was the brother of Thomas, Senior and son of Thomas of Bourne End, Cranfield.

Her second husband Doctor John WHEELER was the son of John and Sarah STEARNS, son of Sgt. Thomas WHEELER, son of Thomas WHEELER, Senior. Hope this helps, Sam WHEELER

I am searching for info on John WHEELER who married 24 Aug 1708 Hannah WHEELER, daughter of John WHEELER and Elizabeth ROWLAND. Hannah also married Samuel WHEELER, son of Isaac WHEELER.

Here's the info I have, although I suspect some of it is incorrect.

 
 1 Hannah WHEELER b. 1676 of Fairfield, CT
   +Samuel WHEELER b. abt 1672 d. 8 Mar 1707/08
   +John WHEELER b. 1683 of Stratfield, CT d. 12 Sep 1747 m. 24 Aug 1708
     2 David WHEELER b. 12 Nov 1709 d. 4 Oct 1767
       +Betty GILBERT b. 27 Dec 1730 d, 2 Nov 1802
         3 Content WHEELER b. Oct 1769 d. 9 Nov 1821
           +Elijah CURTIS m. 14 Sep 1790

Anybody know the parents of John WHEELER? Any info on Hannah WHEELER or her son David would be appreciated, as well. I have been unable to find any listing for David WHEELER & Betty GILBERT marriage in the various databases I have checked, although there is record of their daughter Content's marriage.

Hi! my name is Jim Bates and I descended from a long line of WHEELERS. Do you have anything on Stephan Moses WHEELER, from Kent, England? He had two known sons William and James, both born in CT, USA. My descent is through James WHEELER and his daughter Abigail, who married Henry JAYNE, and his son Stephen WHEELER (for wont of a better term I'll call him SR). Stephen, SR. married Milly ...... They had a son Stephen JR. Stephen, JR. married Abigail's daughter Margaret JAYNE. They were first cousins. Thanks for any information. JIM

I will contribute what I have on a George Wheeler. From The American Genealogist, Vol. XII 1934-36, page 5

An article entitled "Captain Thomas Wheeler And Some Of His Descendants" by Homer W. Brainard, A.B., of Hartford, Conn.

About the year 1600 three men named Wheeler were living in Cranfield, married and having fmilies. These were Thomas, John, and Richard, 'the younger'. Thomas was probably the oldest of the three. "Richard the younger" implies an older Richard. We know not how they were related. Thomas and John may have been brothers.

Massachusetts
1.  Thomas WHEELER, born about 1560-65; probably married twice.
Children baptised at Cranfield:
  1. Thomas, b. abt 1591; m. Ann HALSEY; settled in Concord and Fairfield.
  2. Timothy, b. 1601; died at Concord, Mass. 1687, aged 86.
  3. Thomas, bapt. Nov 20, 1603; perhaps died young.
  4. George, bapt. March 28, 1605; d. at Concord,  May 1687; probably
married (1) May 12, 1628,       Mary Studd, (2) Catherine ______, and had
William, bapt. Aug 8, 1630, d. young; William, bapt.       July 20, 1631.
  5. Susannah, bapt. May 31, 1607; m. Jan 20, 1633, Obadiah Wheeler, son of
John Wheeler of       Cranfield.
  6. Joseph, bapt. Feb 18, 1609-10; died at Concord, Mass. after 1678;
lieutenant.
  7. Abiah, bapt. Jan. 17, 1612-13.
  8. Mary, bapt. Oct. 20, 1615.
  9. Ephraim, bapt. March 16, 1618-19; m. Ann ____; freeman at concord,
1639; died at Fairfield, Conn. 1670.
 10. Thomas, bapt. April 8, 1620; m. Ruth Wood.

I hope this will help those trying to figure out George Wheeler. Susan Dorris sdorris@mychoice.net

The first strike in my Wheeler line is yet to be made, but I keep trying. I'm loking for a Lucy WHEELER, who could be a variation of Lucy, i.e. Lucinda, Lucille or the like. Or L_?_ could be a middle/nick name. The WHEELER name has been passed down for many generations since.
