• Notes

  Of all of the Concord Wheelers whose descendants are readily traceable, Thomas Wheeler affords the fewest clues to his life-history. He was appointed Sergeant in 1642 and on the Concord Records from that time until his death, his name generally appears with that prefix, though sometimes called Thomas Wheeler, Sr. He is continually stated by genealogiests to have been a nephew of Timothy Wheeler probably based upon the references by Timothy in his will to "my nephew Sergt. Thomas Wheeler," but by reference to that will the unlikelihood of this will be remarked in the fact that this Sergt. Thomas as far as known did not have a son Ephraim, and his son Joseph was dead when Timothy's will was made. All that has been found that can be stated of him as indisputable is given. ---------- Reference: "History of the Wheeler Family in America", 1914, Albert Gallatin Wheeler, Jr., 21, 143.
