Nathaniel Wheeler, son of Nathaniel Wheeler and Esther Botsford was born about 1677. He died March 13, 1761, and was buried in the Old Burial Ground, Newark, New Jersey.[1]
Nathaniel married (1) Mary (…), say 1699; he married (2) Jemima (…) at Newark, after 1721. The ancestry of both women is unknown (or not traced here).[1]
He removed to Morris Co., N. J., where he owned land which he willed to his son David. He was Overseer of Poor 1709; Surveyor of Highways 1719; Sheepmaster 1714; Fence Viewer 1705, 1733, 1740.
Nathaniel left a will dated 28 February 1754 at Newark, Essex Co., New Jersey, proved 28 Mar 1761, naming:[2]
Probably with first wife, Mary:
The Wheeler Family bungles Nathaniel's marriages. It does not mention the first wife, but assigns her death to Jemima. Mary is named in Condit's inscriptions of Newark and of course Jemima did not die in 1721, being hale and hearty when Nathaniel wrote his will in 1754.
