Biography

Ancient Wheeler Pedigree

Below is the Wheeler pedigree as found online, perhaps inspired by Chronicles of a Nation: Founding Fathers, Families and Patriots, by Joan Wheeler LaGrone. ^[1] The dubious lineage concerns ancestors of Richard Welere, whose existence appears to be documented. Perhaps the most glaring problem with this genealogy is the anachronic names (especially of women), which seem more appopriate for the 1950s than for medieval women. No sources confirming this genealogy were put forward.
