If anyone can help me with this family line, I will be so grateful! All I have found on my Wheeler brickwall is this: Benjamin Wheeler; sons- White or Whitus Wheeler/Elizabeth Kight, Charles, Willoughby, Sallie/Robert Douglas, Nancy/Zare Taylor. No one has been able to tell me anything about these people other than my 4th ggrandfather being White Wheeler. There is a Benjamin Wheeler listed on GenWeb Warren Co. as a Revolutionary Soldier, but I don't know anything else about him. I would love just to know who Benjamin Wheeler's wife was. Please help.

Eva, this will either help or make things more confusing!! :) Carol First Generation 1. Benjamin or John WHEELER was born about 1770 in , , Georgia. He died before 1870 in , , Georgia. Are either of these the father of Whitus Wheeler? The 1840 & 1850 Census show a Benjamin Wheeler in Habersham Co., GA. According to the 1850 Census he was born about 1781 in North Carolina. The 1830 and 1840 Censuses show a Benjamin Wheeler living in Troup Co., GA -- Capt.Tordaway District in 1830, District 700 in 1840. The 1830 Census shows him as age 30-40. No further information on him. According to a posting on Ancestry.com by Hal Brandley <hwbradley@verizon.net>, the father of Charles, Sarah, and Nancy Wheeler was John WHEELER, born about 1770 in Burke Co., GA. He does not list White or Willoughby as sons of John - perhaps because they were not listed in Appling County in 1850 as was the rest of the children. Most of the children of Benjamin/John had a daughter named Mary. It is highly probable that their mother was named Mary, as well. Benjamin had the following children: 2 M i. Whitus "White" WHEELER was born on 15 Mar 1807 in , , Georgia. He died on 19 May 1860 in , , Georgia. He was buried in Wheeler Cemetery, south of Kite, Georgia. Who were the parents of Whitus Wheeler? Some researchers say Benjamin Wheeler was his father; others say his parents were Shadrack Wheeler and Apsilla Brinson. Several postings at Ancestry.com indicate that Shadrach Wheeler was born about 1750/1755 and Apsilla Brinson was born abt 1756 in Onslow Co., NC. She and Shadrach Wheeler married in 1778 in Onslow County. All postings show just 2 children for Shadrach and Apsilla: Lott Wheeler and Adam Brinson Wheeler. There were probably other children.
