First From: Steve SMITH
Subject: Sarah VANBEBBER & Joshua WHEELER
Dear Steve,
How exciting - you live right there and I'm hopeful you may have info for
us. I'm Suzie Wheeler Storr, sister to Bill and answering most of his
genealogy posts since he's just taken a very time consuming job.
The info I'm sending is from a book "The Descendants of Joshua Wheeler
and Sarah VanBebber" by Marshall R. Wheeler, 1313 Ardenwood Road, Austin, Texas
78722-1105.
You should know right up front that our ggrandfather (James Stonewall Wheeler- JS)
lived with Sarah and Joshua for 7 years while his father was in
California. (a combination of avoiding the Civil War where his Illinois
neighbors were fighting his Kentucky brothers and the gold rush) JS
knew that Sarah Adams was married to William Wheeler (we have a wedding
record of Sally Adams and William Wheeler) and had 7 children in
Kentucky before leaving for Illinois in 1830. It was the wettest spring
in memory and William got pneumonia and died by his wagon. He was buried
where the Wabash River meets the Ohio River, but a marked grave was never
found. Before the wagon train settled in Illinois, Sarah was married to Joshua
Wheeler - perhaps by a circuit rider, there's no record that we've
found.
Two of Sarah's children married Owens girls who were daughters of James
G. Owens and Hannah VanBebber.
James VanBebber, Sr m. Hannah Hoover of Claiborne Co, TN
Robert VanBebber in Greene Co, IL by 1837
James Van Bebber in Greene Co, IL
Sarah Van Bebber
Hannah Van Bebber m. James G. Owens
Martha Emily Owens b TN 16 Dec 1829 m James
Richard Wheeler 24 Feb 1848 Macoupin Co, IL
Mary Jane Wheeler 1851-
John Marshall Wheeler 1852-1931
Martha A. "Mattie" Wheeler 1859-1937
James Stonewall Wheeler 1862-1946
Elizabeth Maude Wheeler 1870-1904
Isaac Asbury Owens m Elizabeth Steely
Mary Elizabeth Owens b TN 12 May 1834 m Joshua
Wheeler 23 Aug 1857 DeWitt Co, IL
This is as much as I can get from Marshall's book on the VanBebbers. I
figure that my gggrandmother was Hannah VanBebber but I know absolutely
that another gggrandmother was Sarah Adams Wheeler. JS had several stories that
fit with the Adams name in addition to rather conclusive
evidence of his name. My first question to the family was why was a
baby born in Illinois in 1862 named Stonewall? Sarah Adams step-father
was George Jackson, the great uncle of Stonewall.
We have no idea who Joshua Wheeler was but assume he was some sort of
cousin since he and William were on the same wagon train. I'll send you
by snail mail some written info on the stories of JS. I would love to
know if there was a Sarah VanBebber but this looks like a big puzzle for
that time frame.
I hope I haven't rambled too much, but I would love to know more about the Van
Bebbers.
