His bio also shows he died after Mar 28, 1712-3, when he and his wife, Elizabeth sold land to their son.

This source shows that Peregrine White purchased property from Obadiah and Elizabeth (White) Wheeler (daughter of Resolved White) in 1710: https://archive.org/stream/ancestralchrono00whitgoog#page/n253/mode/1up/search/wheeler Ancestral chronological record of the William White family from 1607 to 1608-1895 by White, Thomas

Today I added https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/108588291/obadiah-wheeler source to profile. That source lists death as 1715, and tomb stone is probably reliable for death date. I will let someone else decide whether to update profile.

There are no sources for the 1715 date, even within the NEHGR 85:115 reference that the "source" on FAG cites. I will update the date to "after" the 1713 date shown in the comment
