KS, Ks A state of the central United States. It was admitted as the 34th state in 1861. Organized as a territory by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which provided it would be classified as a free or slave state on the basis of popular sovereignty, it became a virtual battleground, known as Bleeding Kansas, for free and slave factions (1854-1859).

Comments: I have just begun searching my family tree. My father's name was Marlin F. WHEELER, born in Pittsburgh, KS. His parents were James WHEELER and Laura HENSON/HANSON. They were divorced & had several children: I know of Marlin, Bruce, and Irene. James lived around Girard KS. Laura lived in Benton Harbor, MI. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Comments: I knew us WHEELERS were special, but had no idea! What a great site. I've been researching the WHEELER surname for just a few months. I knew very little about my father, LEE WAYNE WHEELER B. 8-15-1900 in Newton, KS and D. OCT. 1970 in Enid, OK, until the last couple of months. All the letters, phone calls and late night surfin have paid off. I've found my GF, WAYNE WHEELER and GM, NONA (ALDEN) WHEELER lived in Newton at least until 1905-1906 . Two uncles, MAX WHEELER and OWIN WHEELER. Through a funeral home in Hutchinson, KS, I discoverd a cousin still alive and have been in touch.. What a thrill! He has family bibles, pictures and lots of stories.....a virtual GENAOLOGY GOLD MINE. I have bookmarked you site and intend to read it word for word. Thanks Jim Wheeler

I am posting this query for a friend. If you know of this family, please E-mail me & I'll put you in touch.
Bev WHEELER of Kansas is looking for data to share about the Joseph WHEELER/Polina GREEN Family. Joseph WHEELER b 31 Mar 1809 and Polina GREEN b 26 Aug 1810 were married in 1829. They had at least seven children:
1. Betsy WHEELER b 26 Nov 1830 2. Jane WHEELER b 21 Jun 1834 3. Cyrus WHEELER b 5 Feb 1836 4. Allen WHEELER b 17 Sep 1839 5. Joseph WHEELER b 1 Sep 1843 6. William WHEELER b 12 Nov 1845 7. Sarah WHEELER b 24 Sep 1853
This family lived in Illinois for at least some of the years when the children were born. Family lore sez that Joseph WHEELER left his family and was remarried. He may have gone on to serve in public office. Supposedly, Polina migrated to Nebraska with her children. Any information would be appreciated. Chris (SBCTM@aol.com)
