I found Nathaniel Wheat in Rockingham County, NH age 50-60 in 1840. There are several Wheats living in Hillsborough County during that time. In 1850 there is a Nathaniel Wheat age 70 living in Hillsborough county. He is a physician according to that record. He is not the head of household, but unfortunately, I can't make out the person's name who is! Your Nathaniel may have moved to be with relatives as he grew older, or this could be a completely different fellow, and he is not listed in the 1840 because it only named Head of Household. Just a thought.
