Richard Wheeler b. 1789 Wiltshire England d. 22 Nov 1879
m. 22 Feb 1813 to Mary Burges b. 1782 Wiltshire England

Richard is the furthest back that we have. They had a son John who had a
son Thomas who had a son Thomas. There are a lot of Thomas's in the line
and so I was hopping that there might be more of them further back. It
sounds like Thomas is a very common given Wheeler name and may not be
much help but it's worth a try. If you have any links to Wheeler's in
Wiltshire England, please let me know.

Thanks, Tom W.
