Lt. John WHEELER Rev. War pension app - born in Prince Edward VA. Appl. 6 May 1833 states he is about 76 years of age "or perhaps a little more." Came to Holston 1776 with brother and his family to make a settlement from Sussex NC, lived in NC after the war, and moved to SC on the Saluda R. - stayed there 11 years. Moved to Shelby Co. KY and lived there 2 yrs. when he moved to Livingston where he lived ever since.
Susanna WHEELER, widow of John WHEELER, made a declaration that John WHEELER died 24 Nov 1838 in Crittendon, KY. On 21 July 1843, Susanna was 82 yrs of age, being born 21 July 1761. Susanna's father was Henry CLARK and Susanna & John WHEELER lived in Greene Co at the time John volunteered. Marriage believed to be 15 Dec 1779.

Notes for JUBILEE (JUBE) WHEELER:
Jubilee served under Govenor Sam Houston in the Militia of Tennessee,
taking his oath as Captain, on November 25, 1830. The time frame fits
right in the midst of the Colonists and Indian warfare which was at its
peak at about that time. The Cherokee Trail of Tears to Oklahoma was
just a few years after Jubilee's commission date and he may even have
participated in the removal of the Cherokee Indian Nation from Tennessee,
the Carolinas, and Georgia area. The removal took place prior to 1840.

Mark LEE - mplee1@juno.com - Murfreesboro, TN
My name is H. L. Nolen and I live in southern Virginia. My mother was Laura FOUTZ, her mother was Terressa Mae WHEELER. Terressa's father was John Stephen WHEELER (b 4/24/1859 - lived and died in Bedford County, Va. John m Lucy E. FORE) John's father was Thomas W. WHEELER (b abt 1833 in Bedford Co. Va. Thomas m Sarah E. WALDRON 7/14/1852 in Bedford Co. Va.)
My questions are these: A Thomas WHEELER shows up in Bedford County, Va. (born: abt 1736) and a Gabriel WHEELER (born: abt 1783 and is the son of Thomas.) Gabriel m Rhoda BANDY.
I am guessing that my Thomas W. WHEELER is either a son of or a nephew of this Gabriel WHEELER, but I cannot link for sure. Gabriel WHEELER later had a son named Gabriel WHEELER, Jr. and he was b abt 1824. Gabriel, Jr's birth date and my Thomas W. Wheeler's birth date are close enough for them to have been brothers, but as I said. I cannot prove this.
I know from what I have read on the Wheeler Geneology Home Page that several others and possible you have done research back to and including the Bedford County, VA. WHEELER.
I am hoping you can help me tie these loose ends together. Thanks in advance, H. L. Nolen hnolen@swva.net
