I have several family connections between the regions around Shalersville, OH and Portland, Chautauqua, NY. I have a Zenas Wheeler who lived in Fluvanna, NY b. October 04, 1769 and died September 07, 1850. He married Shua Fifield b. January 27, 1769 and who died April 20, 1842 daughter of Benjamin Fifield. Their daughter, Shuah Fifield Wheeler, b. December 29, 1799 married Samuel Whittemore of Fluvanna. Was wondering if this might be a connection to the uncle you refferred to?
