Hello I'm new to the list but find it very interesting. I have searched for a Mayflower connection for a long time. I notice you keep mentioning the Wheeler name. I have a Wheeler connection. Maybe there's hope for me finding a Mayflower connection yet. Here's what I know. Help please.

Dorris, Doesn't look like there's going to be anything on this Wheeler line as Wheelers per se. Great Migration people given Milford Curch Record of 1640. Two of Peregrine White's daughters marry into the Wheelers of Concord there about the 1660s. You are going to need to work on the Holbrook, Gillette, Bartlett, Wooster, Lobdell ancestral lines. Couldn't quite tell what was your direct ancestral line, though. So focus on your collateral lines from about 1820 back, which I'm guessing is generation 5-9, laying out the wives and their parents and their parents & then consulting the Silver books, the Mayflower Five Generation Project, etc. Mine goes Gen. 3 Emily Paine Gen. 4 Charles B. Paine - wife Georgianna Spinney {who has no Mayflower} Gen. 5 John B. Paine - Rebecca M. Reed (who has Doty Mayflower ancestry) Gen. 6 Silas Paine listed in M5G original vol. 3 - Chloe Chase (who has no Mayflower) & so on back to George Soule of the Mayflower plus at least 2 others in addition to Doty Regards Robert M.
