My direct Wheeler line runs as follows: Grandparents - Jacob R. Wheeler and Sadie Mae (Howdyshell) Wheeler Great Grandparents - Peter William Wheeler and Lydia Margeret (Lee) Wheeler Great Great Grandparents - James R. Wheeler and Leanna (Sipe) Wheeler After Lydia's, death, Peter married Miriah Jane Minnick Howdyshell and had two more children, Bessie Jane and Martin Luther. (I'll be happy to share the small amount of info I have on Bessie and Martin Luther from the Wheeler/Minnick marriage) I have pratically no information on the Wheelers prior to Peter. All I have been able to find out about James R. Wheeler and Leanna is their wedding date and the names of Leanna's parents. Early information on the Wheelers seems sparse and I would appreciate any information on the family prior to Peter. I also have no information on my great grandmother Lydia and would like to know her better. Any information that can help fill in the gaps is greatly apprecited. Thanks.
