Wheeler, b 1835. The both died in Chenango County. Sylvester Wheeler was born 03 Mar 1801 in Lebanon when it was still Chenango County and died Feb 1881, Otselic, Chenango County, NY. Captain Hiram S. Wheeler (Sylvester's son) was born 25 Apr 1835 in Lincklaen, Chenango County, NY and died in South Otselic, Chenango County, NY (I believe). Because I can not locate death records for either of these Wheelers, I am of the opinion that maybe they actually took ill and died in some other community, possibly living with a relative or in a hospital. Captain Hiram S. Wheeler was a civil War veteran and I believe was suffering from injuries suffered in the War. Maybe he was in a veteran's hospital or program in the county (Norwich?). If anyone has information, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you. Richard Wheeler Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
