The Wheeler line shows up in my ex-husband's family line: Resolved WHITE (Mayflower) & Judith VASSALL's daughter, Elizabeth WHITE, b. 4 Jun 1652, married Obadiah WHEELER 17 July 1672 in Concord. Obadiah's parents were Obadiah & Susanna WHEELER (both b. Cranfield). Obadiah sr.'s father apparently was John Wheeler from Bedfordshire, who did not emigrate.
