Children #8 and #9 belong with a co-existing Thomas Wheeler family, on their bp record Thomas is NOT referred to as Thomas of Wharley/Worley. There is a daughter Sarah bp 4 Nov 1622 Cranfield for this family group. She married Thomas Sherwood. Mentioned in her father's will.
Anna bp 15 Feb 1617/18 (error of 10th Feb above unless there's a source different than the Cranfield parish record) we believe is the woman referenced as Hannah Bennit in her mother's will. Anna is a nickname for 'Hannah' . The woman Ann Squire mentioned in the will is not called out as a daughter, I have not found the relationship connection. The Turney family she was connected to by marriage of her son John Wheeler to a Turney.
'Middlebrook' is not a surname belonging to this family group.
John Wheeler their son bp 27 Feb 1624/5 Cranfield. He reportedly married Judity Turney ( I have not independently verified the marriage)
