There are several Wheelers married to Stilsons who moved to Knox County, but I have no record of your Charles. One was a captain, and his daughter Anne married John Franklin Stilson. I have more info if you are interested, Ed Baltzer ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 7:20 PM Subject: [ILKNOX-L] Charles Wheeler > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Wheeler, Pettis > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4g.2ADE/1762 > > Message Board Post: > > I am looking for information on a Charles Wheeler who lived in Galesburg, Knox Co. in 1880. He was born about 1844 in NY or Vt the son of Peter Wheeler and Elizabeth Pettis. The census states that his father was born Vt and mother in NY, this fits Peter and Elizabeth. A cousin said that our Charles Wheeler was alive in 1928. We found Civil War records that state Charles was listed as missing in action in Spotsylvania, VA May 10, 1864. >
