Thanks, Carol, always appreciate your help. Before I make contributions on John W. Wheeler, I would like to share some information on his uncle, Shade Wheeler. From the 1870 census you posted, I finally have approx. ages of his children: William "Bill" L. Wheeler b c 1853 married Sarah Jane? Tapley b 9-6-1856 d 9-2-1885 per the Tapley Book; White B.b 4-2-1856 d 1-4-1922 buried in Wheeler Cemetery married Mary Maddox 11-22-1874 b 11-11-1859 d 10-28-1944 buried same. (Anyone know who her parents were?); Elila is Delilie "Lila" who married Dr. Thomas Kea on 8-24-1875. The census shows she was 12; however, her obit from 1903 states her birthday was 4-15-1849 (anyone know more about this? or her family?); Shade J. b 4-1-1861 d 5-25-1920 married Shapronic "Fronie" Smith b 4-18-1866 d 10-25-1937 both buried in Wheeler Cemetery. (Does anyone know who her parents were or what Boyd she married after Shade's death?); No additional info on Bennet; Margaret-I show as "Maggie" married Make Adams(anything further on this family?); and I also show a daughter, Jennie?
