I have been searching for years and just tonight got a lead that made me come here and post. James Wheeler born abt. 1800 and died between 1860 and 1870. ( all based on census) I find him in Amherst in 1840 and again in 1870. According to census he was a miller by trade. He was married to a Polly Thacker or at least she was listed as mother along with James as parents of the following children: (not sure of birth order) Elizabeth Wheeler- married William Lynn 17 Feb. 1846 in Amherst Co. John Dudley Wheeler - married Margaret Painter 24 Aug 1852 in Amherst Co. Martin Wheeler- married Elizabeth Crawford 19 Nov 1858 in Amherst Co. Eliza Jane Wheeler- married Zacariah Staton 18 Jul 1860 - married 2nd Valentine Mason 9 Oct 1865 Edward Esau Wheeler- married Josephine Staton 27 Aug 1867 - married 2nd Burnette Elizabeth Staton 8 Sep 1872 in Amherst Co. - married 3rd Mollie Byers Georgiana Wheeler Caroline Wheeler- married Marshall Staton 13 Feb 1858 The above is all I have to show for abt. 20 years of research! Does anyone know or seen anything on these people? Thanks for any help!!!! Barbara in Idaho
