Harry,
My information starts with Sgt. Ephriam WHEELER, b 16 Mar 1617/1618
Cranfield, Bedfordshire, Eng; md Ann TURNEY b 1620 Eng., d/o Robert
TURNEY. He immigrated from Eng. 1635, was made "freeman" at Concord Ma
on 13 Mar 1639; with wife and 2 children he removed to Fairfield CT in
1644 with Rev. Jones group. His will was dated 33 Sep 1669, mentioning
wife Ann and naming children. REF: Compendium of American Genealogy Vol
IV p 523 and History of the Wheeler Family, p 491.

Son Ephriam WHEELER b. abt 1660 Stratford CT. d abt 27 Nov 1705; md.
Sarah TURNEY and Sarah SHERWOOD (per your ref.)

Just for you information as a possible reference subject: Timothy WHEELER
(also son of Ephriam and Ann Turney WHEELER) married an Ann TURNey Apr.
1689 in Stratford. AND other WHEELERS married SHERWOODs--i.e.
Experience WHEELER b 1676, Fairfield, CT. (granddaughter of Ephriam and
Ann Turney WHEELER) md Samual SHERWOOD. Ephriam's (1660) cousin Ann (b
abt 1684) (d/o John WHEELER and Elizabeth ROWLAND) married a Lemuel
SHERWOOD. This John WHEELER #1 wife's name was Judith TURNEY (d/o
Benjamin TURNEY). They all resided in the Firfield CT. area it seems. I
just gave you this confusing information because sometimes you can locate
a relative by going around through others of the same name and locations.
Good luck.

Some of the above relationships can be seen in my posting in the
WHEELER-D Digest V97 #131 on Dec. 28.
