    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/SWB.2ACE/725.3.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Sue, Nancy was not the daughter of Jesse and his first wife. She was the daughter of Sarah McVey and her first husband, Asa Forshey. In the Court of Common Pleas, Monroe Co., case: Jacob McVey, administrator of Asa Forshey vs Sarah Wheeler & Jesse Wheeler her husband & Nancy Forshey. Case entry for April term 1846, C-p.401 shows Sarah had been married to Asa before her marriage to Jesse and that Nancy was Asa's only child. 1840 Monroe census showed two children 0-4 in Jesse Wheeler's household. There was 1 female 0-4 in Asa Forshey's hh. Jesse's 1850 hh shows 3 children who would have been 0-4 in 1840. That John and Nancy were marked as "twins" was a presumption of the census taker. In 1860 Nancy Forshey was enumerated in the household of her maternal grandparents, Samuel and Jane McVey, in Wayne Twp. Ella
