Research Note
- Please note that according to his will, Thomas has a son, John Wheeler, and a son, William Wheeler, not likely two sons by the name of John William Wheeler as the two profiles (John William Wheeler Sr. (1762-abt.1838) and John William Wheeler (1769-1854) attached to this profile seem to indicate.. If the mentioning in the will is based on order of birth, then Wheeler-5968 is most likely John Wheeler and Wheeler-1562 is William Wheeler. BJS.
