In my search for additional information on Erastus Rudd and Experience (Wheeler) Hobart, I, last night, checked my CD census indexes. Erastus and Experience seem to have had some children born in Springfield, Erie Co., PA, mostly in the 1820s. I discovered that Randall Wheeler (perhaps Experience's father) was there in the 1830 census, on page 336, if anyone has access to this. There probably were more than one Randall Wheeler, as in 1830, 1840, 1850, there is one in Danville, Caledonia Co., VT. I'm thinking that the one in PA in 1830 is probably worth checking out. If anyone lives near Erie Co., PA, maybe you could check with the probate office, or land records office, to see if there are any records for Randall Wheeler that might give a clue to his children. Of course, this Randall might be a son of the Randall that is supposed to be Experience's father, but worth checking anyway! Joann Nichols
