Dear "Site", Irene, John, Dennis, and any interested parties, plus the two Hist and one Gene Soc.: Once more, it it helps anyone. By all indications known to me, the Lavina/Lovina Wheeler of the records in question, is indicated to be the same Lovina/Lavina as listed in Wheeler descendent documents/records as a daughter of William and Margery (Thompson) Wheeler (both buried in the backyard off of Lewis Road, listed as the "Wheeler-Short Cemetery by DAR). She is shown later, and still unmarried. Wheeler descendent document/record says "never married". Did she? I don't know. Lavina/Lovina Wheeler was in "the middle of all the action" in the area when about half of the Beckelhymers, and Shorts, and Wests, and Epperts, and the rest, kept running back and forth between Clermont Co Ohio and Clay/Vigo Co Ind. Elijah Beckelhymer, son of Jo! hn Abraham Beckelhymer and Margaret Short, married 2 Feb 1845 Clermont Co Ohio, to Amanda Wheeler. There are "tons" of documents, records, family histories, county histories, etc., that prove this Elijah Beckelhymer. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although there is, twice, 1860, and 1870, a listing for a young female in the household of Elijah and Amanda (Wheeler) Beckelhymer, there is no record that they ever had any children, even "died infant". 1860 Vigo Ind "Maria 11 Germany". 1870 Vigo Ind "Isabella 11 Mo". Amanda (Wheeler) Beckelhymer, herself, on census, lists "mother of none", "none living". Amanda (Wheeler) Beckelhymer obit says "no relatives" in Terre Haute. She still had intermarried "relatives". Elijah and Amanda (Wheeler) Beckelhymer had the usual corruptions of their name, such as Bhymer, Behamer, Behymer, Behimer, etc., plus Aman! da was even called "Mary" in the 1860 census (if I recall correctly?). BUT as stated, no question as to Elijah's individual identification, or to who belonged to, etc., - - - - - or to "indicated" mother of Amanda. Elijah Beckelhymer, born 5 Jan 1826, Clermont Co Ohio. Amanda Wheeler born "June 1828 Ohio"; as per listing, but yet to be proved/disproved by me?. Elijah Behymer served from Vigo Co Ind in the Civil War, lastly with Veterans Corp, Co C 11th Ind Regt. I do not know if he applied for a pension, or not, but his widow, Amanda (Wheeler) Behymer DID!! She applied from Terre Haute, Vigo Co Ind, 31 July 1895, showing herself as Elijah's widow, Application Number 619,587, Certificate Number 448,624, State From Which Served - Indiana, Elijah Behymer, Co C 11th Indiana Infantry. AND THE ABOVE RECORD IS THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE SECURED BY ANY TRULY INTERESTED "Wheeler"RE! SEARCHER, - - - - - ABOUT AMANDA (Wheeler) BEHYMER. THIS CAN BE SECURED FROM NATIONAL ARCHIVES, or maybe even through the internet by an "angel"?. OF COURSE, for the record, one always asks for the "complete records", or "all of the records", and NEVER for only the "selected records", - - - - - - - - if one wants all of the chances for "clues". Vigo Co Ind Health Dept- Elijah Bhymer 1006 S Second St died 14 June 1895 age 67 Sex Male Color White Married Cause Apoplexy No added vitals Book 45 Page 58. TerreHaute Gazette, Sat June 15 1895, "Bhymer- at 7:00pm Friday June 14- Elijah Bhymer, of Paralysis, aged 67 year.

Both, Elijah, and Amanda, are buried same plot Highland Lawn Cemetery, Terre Haute Vigo Co Ind, along with proved Beckelhymer, Short, and Boor relatives. ! I hope this helps someone. Thanks. Take care. Regards, Dick (I do not have the "gear", or brains, to send pictures/copies/etc over these modern waves.)

Maybe someone who has Beckelheimers in their tree can help me place these: Abraham Beckelhymer, spouse unknown had a son Jacob. Jacob, spouse unknown had a son James. James, spouse unknown had a daughter Sarah Ellen who married John C. DAY. Is this the same as Johan Abraham below who m. Margaret Short? If not, is there some connection that I am missing? Also, is there a connection between Benjamin Drake WHEELER and wife Abigail RUMERY and the Wheelers who m Beckelhymers? Thanks for any help.
