72. Mildred 'Milly' Wheeler (Benjamin , William , Martin , John , John , Henry ) was born about 1782 in Granville Co., North Carolina. She died after 1850 in Triune, Williamson Co., Tennessee. Mildred was counted in a census 1 in 1840 in Williamson Co., Tennessee.
She was living with her son Jessie in 1850.
Mildred married George Glimp 1 son of John Abraham Glimp and Byars on 6 Aug 1799 in Granville Co., North Carolina. George was born about 1774 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He died about 1829 in Triune, Williamson Co., Tennessee. George was counted in a census 2 in 1800 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He was counted in a census 3 in 1810 in Granville Co., North Carolina.
In Granville Co., N.C. Will Book 7, pages 535 and 536 is a list of "Insolvents and other taxable property listed in the county of Granville. The taxes due hereon cannot be collected for the year 1814." After the name of George Glimp is the word "removed," indicating the family had already left that county. They settled near the county line separating Rutherford and Williamson counties in Tennessee. When George Glimp died, he left a will which was recorded in Williamson County. At the time of his death he owned 189 acres of land. He left part of the land to his wife, Mildred, and the remainder to his children. Thomas Glimp purchased the shares of his siblings Henry, Frances, John A., Elizabeth, and George.
They had the following children:
+ 238 M i William Glimp + 239 M ii Henry Benjamin Glimp + 240 M iii Thomas Glimp + 241 F iv Frances "Frankie" Glimp + 242 F v Lucretia Glimp + 243 M vi George Glimp Jr. + 244 F vii Sarah "Sally" Glimp + 245 F viii Elizabeth "Betsy" Glimp + 246 M ix Jessie Washington Glimp + 247 F x Mary Winifred 'Winny' Angeline Glimp + 248 M xi John Abraham Glimp
73. Dicy Wheeler 1 (Benjamin , William , Martin , John , John , Henry ) was born about 1784 in Granville Co., North Carolina. She died after 1850 in Tennessee.
She was living with Mary Ann and Jeremiah in 1850.
Dicy married 3 Moses Jones 1, 2 son of William Jones Jr. and Alice 'Ailsey' on 5 Nov 1799 in Granville Co., North Carolina. Moses was born about 1780 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He died in Dec 1849 in Bedford Co., Tennessee. Moses was counted in a census in 1800 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He was counted in a census in 1820 in Dutch District, Granville Co., North Carolina. He was counted in a census 4 in 1830 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He was counted in a census 5 in 1840 in Williamson Co., Tennessee.
The 1800 census of Granville Co., N.C. shows Moses Jones and one female "over 16 and under 26 years of age" in his household. It is impossible to determine by the marks on the census page whether there were two young males in the household. There is an ink blot in the "total" column.
Moses Jones was mentioned frequently in the records of Granville County. The records of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions (Family History Center microfilm #0,018,998) shows "The following persons are appointed inspector of the Polls at the several places of Election at the ensuing elections for voters to elect a president and vice-president of the United States." Moses Jones and Radford Gooch were to be the inspectors at "Bowdens." At the same Court, Moses Jones, esquire, returned "on oath the list of taxable property in Ledge of Rocks District for this year." He, along with Radford Gooch and Benjamin Bullock posted a bond (at the same Court session) as securities when Robert F.P. Jones, Moses' son-in-law, was elected Constable in the Dutch District. Moses Jones and Benjamin Bullock posted a bond as securities for Radford Gooch as he was elected Constable in the Nap of Reeds District.
At the same Court session "Anderson Chaves, a boy of color, age 5 years, & Henry Chaves another boy of color are bound to Moses Jones to learn the art & mystery of a blacksmith, said Jones entering into bond with Elijah Goss and James Nutall as securities."
Moses Jones was one of the Justices of the Peace, who at May Court 1821, "being upon the bench proceeded to the election of Sheriff." His name was drawn for jury duty at the September 1821 session of Superior Court.
By the year 1828, Moses Jones in-laws, Benjamin and Winifred (Turner) Wheeler, were getting on in years, probably in their 70's. The following entry was recorded in Granville County Deed Book 4:B. Wheeler
to
M. Jones
To all person unto whom these presents shall come, I, Benjamin Wheeler, Senr. of the County of Granville and State of North Carolina send you greetings. Know ye that I the said Benjamin Wheeler for and in consideration of the natural love and affection which I have and bare [sic] unto my son-in-law Moses Jones ... give and grant unto said Moses Jones all and singular my goods and chattels following, seven head of cows, twelve head of hogs, one horse, three beds and furniture, seven head of sheep, one __, one gun and all my working tools with all my household and kitchen furniture too tedious to mention and crop corn, wheat, potatoes & fodder ... [dated 18 Aug 1828].Then on page 7 of Deed Book 4, another document was recorded where Benjamin Wheeler agve Moses Jones all of his remaining real estate. On the 13th of November 1828, Moses Jones sold to his brother-in-law, Benjamin Wheeler, Jr. "... a certain parcel of land lying ... between the big and little Ledge of Rock Creek, where Benjamin Wheeler, Sr. formerly lived and conveyed to Moses Jones by a deed of gift ... containing by estimation 245 3/4 acres. Almost 100 acres of this land is still in the Wheeler family in 2008.
Since Benjamin and Winifred were elderly by that time, and it was the custom for children to care for their elderly parents, this may have been done so that Dicy and Moses could take care of them. In any event, when the 1830 census was taken, there were five people living in the household of Moses Jones. Two of them were a 70-80 year old male and a 60-70 year old female who were most likely Benjamin and Winifred Wheeler. It appears that Benjamin and Winifred died between 1830 and about 1835. The death of her parents must have been what prompted Dicey and Moses Jones, as well as several of Dicey's siblings and cousins to join the westward migration to Middle Tennessee. Some of her relatives as well as other Granville countians had made the trek years before and were no doubt sending back reports about what a great place they had found to live. It was said by a later correspondent "I think this country far superior to that. It produces cotton, corn, wheat, oats [and] tobacco."
When the 1840 census was taken Moses and Dicy were living in Williamson Co., Tenn. Moses' death at age 69 in Dec 1849 was listed on the 1850 Mortality Schedule (a census of people who had died in the previous year). He was living in Bedford Co., Tenn. at the time of his death and was a blacksmith. The cause of his death was listed as "swelling." When the regular census was taken in 1850, Dicey, age 66 years, was living with her daughter, Mary A. and son-in-law, Jeremiah Culverhouse, in the 9th Civil District of Bedford Co., Tenn.
Moses Jones wrote his will in 1844 while living in the 9th Civil District of Bedford County. At the time he owned three slaves who were left to his daughter Ailsey. He named as administrators Henry Jones and Jeremiah Culverhouse. Henry Jones renounced that role and did not qualify. The Court appointed John L. Cooper in his place. In 1852 the Administrators asked the Court to be relieved of their duties reguarding the slaves and Ailsey accepted that responsibility.
They had the following children:
+ 249 F i Ailsey Jones + 250 F ii Mary Ann Jones
74. James Henry Wheeler 1, 2, 3 (Benjamin , William , Martin , John , John , Henry ) was born about 1788 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He died about 1848 in Tennessee. James was counted in a census 4 in 1820 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He was counted in a census 5 in 1830 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He was counted in a census 6 in 1840 in Williamson Co., Tennessee.
James Wheeler enlisted in the N.C. militia for the War of 1812, along with his brother Ezekiel. He was placed in Capt. John Green's Co. of McDonald's Infantry. They rendezvoused at Gates Court House on 30 Sept. and marched to Norfolk, Virginia. On the company muster roll, dated 9 Oct 1814, he was reported "sick in quarters." From then until 5 Feb 1815, they were at Portsmouth in the harbor at Norfolk. He was paid at the rate of $8 per month, receiving a total of $38.92 for his time in service. He received his last pay on 5 Feb 1815. This included 10 days traveling pay for the 200 miles back to Raleigh, where they were discharged.
James married 1 Elizabeth Nance on 7 May 1811 in Granville Co., North Carolina. Elizabeth was born in 1790/1795.
They had the following children:
251 M i ? Wheeler was born about 1813 in Granville Co., North Carolina. 252 M ii Potter S.? Wheeler was born about 1815 in Granville Co., North Carolina.
He was enumerated in the household of his brother-in-law, John A. Glimp, on the 1850 census of Lauderdale Co., Tenn. There were two unidentified males under ten years of age in the household of James Wheeler on the 1820 census of Granville Co., N.C. Potter was apparently one of them.253 F iii John Wheeler was born about 1816 in Granville Co., North Carolina. + 254 F iv Dicy Horton Wheeler + 255 F v Mary Ann Wheeler + 256 F vi Frances J. Wheeler + 257 M vii Walter Scott Wheeler
75. Jesse Wheeler 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (Benjamin , William , Martin , John , John , Henry ) was born about 1792 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He died before 1880 in Bedford Co., Tennessee. Jesse was counted in a census 7 in 1820 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He was counted in a census 8 in 1830 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He was counted in a census 9 in 1840 in Bedford Co., Tennessee. He was counted in a census 10 in 1850 in Limestone Co., Alabama.
The bondsman for their marriage was Moses Jones. It is not known when Jesse died but it was before the 1880 census was taken. At that time, Sallie, age 71, was living with her nephew, John S. Parsons, in District 8 of Bedford Co., Tenn.
At the Nov session of the Court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions, 7 Nov 1820, Jesse & Sally Wheeler were witnesses in the case Seth Perkinson vs John Obrion. There was no indication as to what the suit was about. Then, on the 11th of Sept 1823, Jesse Wheeler was named as trustee of the property of a John Stephenson. John Stephenson owed money to a William Stephenson and if John didn't pay the debt, which was overdue, by Nov 1823, Jesse Wheeler was to sell all of the property of John Stephenson and pay the debt. The two witnesses to the transaction were Wiley Wheeler and Henry Wheeler.
The 1820 census of Granville Co., N.C. listed Jesse Wheeler on pg. 30. He was also on pg. 50 of the 1830 Granville Co. census. He was in Bedford Co., Tenn. by Dec 1830 as he was shown as a chain carrier on a land transaction. One Anderson Hall was entering land on the Big Harpeth River "bounded by Lawson Oslin." Another deed in 1836 mentioned him as an adjoining landowner "on the waters of Wilsons Creek. By the time the 1840 census was taken he was living in Bedford Co., Tenn., with a wife and eleven others in the household.
In a "Deed of Gift", written 25 Nov 1843 and recorded 9 Jan 1844, Martha (Bugg) Oslin, "for love and affection", gave the following gifts to her granddaughters: Eady Augustine Wheeler, a cow & calf, Lucy Engline Wheeler, a cow & calf, and to Sarah B. Frances Wheeler, one heifer.
Jesse Wheeler acquired 68 acres of land in District 10 of Bedford Co., Tenn. from Richard G. Jackson by a quit claim deed. He used this property in a "deed of trust" to a Willie Perry on 20 Nov 1843 in the same situation as mentioned above. He stated that he owed his kinsman, R.F.P. Jones, $286. He apparently paid the debt by its due date of 1 May 1844 because on 13 Feb 1846, he sold the same piece of property for $300.
The 1840 census showed the makeup of Jesse's family as: Males/ 1 @ 10-15; 3 @ 15-20; 1 @ 20-30; and 1 @ 40-50; Females/ 1 under 5; 3 @ 5-10; 1 @ 10-15; 1 @ 20-30; 1 @ 40-50.
It was probably at this time that he moved his family again. When the 1850 census was taken, Jesse, age 56 years, and daughters Sarah, age 16, and Kesiah, age 14 were in Limestone Co., Ala. It is not known why he moved to Alabama - or when he moved back to Tennessee. His cousin, Henry Wheeler, moved along with him.
He was not listed with Sarah on the 1880 census so it is presumed he had died by that time.
It was said he had a son "M.D." This is not correct. The "M.D." Wheeler shown on the 1860 census in Bedford Co., Tennessee, living next to Jesse and Wiley Wheeler, sons of Jesse & Sarah O. Wheeler is actually W.D. Wheeler. In the household with "M.D." Wheeler is M.M. Wheeler, age 23; J.B. Wheeler, age 15; and R.T. Wheeler, age 10. W.D. (William D.) Wheeler and the others were shown on the 1850 census of Bedford County as the children of John W. and Edaline Wheeler. John W. Wheeler was living next to Thomas and Martha Wheeler of SC in 1850. It is not known why "M.D." Wheeler was living next door to Jesse's children.
Jesse married 1 Sarah "Sallie" Oslin daughter of Samuel Oslin and Martha Bugg on 3 Aug 1813 in Granville Co., North Carolina. Sarah was born 2 about 1800 in North Carolina. She died after 1880 in probably Bedford Co., Tennessee. Sarah was counted in a census 3 in 1880 in Bedford Co., Tennessee.
They had the following children:
+ 258 M i Samuel Wheeler + 259 M ii Wiley C. Wheeler 260 M iii William B. Wheeler 1 was born in 1813/1821 in Granville Co., North Carolina. William was counted in a census 2 in 1850 in District 4, Limestone Co., Alabama.
He could be the 38 year old "W.B. Wheeler, overseer" listed on the 1860 census of Bossier Parish, Louisiana in 1860.William married 1 Hannah A. Sanderson on 22 Sep 1851 in Limestone Co., Alabama. Hannah was born 2 in 1835 in Alabama.
The transcript of the marriage records gives her name as "Anderson" but the census has her name as "Sanderson."261 M iv Jesse Wheeler was born 1 about 1822. + 262 M v David Potter Wheeler + 263 M vi James Thaddeus Wheeler + 264 F vii Lucy Angeline Wheeler 265 F viii Sarah B. Frances Wheeler 1, 2 was born about 1834 in Tennessee. 266 F ix Kesiah Ann Wheeler 1 was born about 1837 in Bedford Co., Tennessee. She died in . Kesiah married Rowland Cook Green son of Asa Green and Priscilla Wheeler on 15 Feb 1861 in Limestone Co., Alabama. Rowland was born 1, 2 about 1810 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He died in 1860/1870 in Limestone Co., Alabama. Rowland was counted in a census in 1840 in Lawrence Co., Tennessee. He was counted in a census in 1850 in Lawrence Co., Tennessee. He was counted in a census 3 in 1860 in Limestone Co., Alabama.
There was a 70 year old Robert Cook, pauper, place of birth "unknown" in his household in 1850.267 F x Eady Augustine Wheeler 1 was born 2 before 1840 in Bedford Co., Tennessee.
76. Ezekiel Wheeler 1, 2, 3, 4 (Benjamin , William , Martin , John , John , Henry ) was born 5 about 1794 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He died on 29 Sep 1871 in Tally Ho, Granville Co., North Carolina. Ezekiel was counted in a census 6 in 1820 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He was counted in a census 7 in 1840 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He was counted in a census 8 in 1850 in Ledge of Rocks District, Granville Co., North Carolina.
At age twenty, on 21 Sept 1814, Ezekiel Wheeler volunteered for service in the War of 1812. He served as a private in Captain John J. Inge's company, 1st Regiment of North Carolina Militia. His name appears on a muster roll of Capt. John J. Inge's Co., one of ten companies of infantry composing the 1st Regiment, North Carolina Detached Militia. They rendezvoused at Gates Courthouse, N.C. on 30 Sept 1814. The British attacked Norfolk and then the town of Hampton. When the British attacked and burned Washington, the militiamen were called into action. So many responded for the defense of Virginia against a possible British invasion that facilities were totally inadequate. As the governor expressed it, "with no shelter than the canopy of heaven, they stretched themselves on the naked earth, encountering every privation without a murmur". Ezekiel was present when the muster roll was taken at Norfolk on 9 Oct 1814, and again on 29 Dec 1814. The Treaty of Ghent was signed on Christmas Eve, 1814, and Norfolk's ordeal came to an end. Ezekiel was still at Ports- mouth, Norfolk Harbour on 5 Feb 1815. After serving for four months and six days, he was discharged 6 Feb 1815, at Camp Portsmouth, Va. He was 180 miles from home and they paid him for 9 days travel. For his four months and six days service he was paid a total of $38.64.
On the 5th of May 1818, he applied for a marriage bond to marry Susan "Susanna" Green. When the county taxes were paid in 1821, Ezekiel was assessed 48 cents on 97 acres of land located on Paul's Creek, which was valued at $242.50.
Ezekiel Wheeler spent the ensuing years at his home in Granville Co., where he farmed and raised his family. On 14 Dec 1850 at age 56 years, he applied for the bounty land which was due under the Act of 28 Sept 1850, on the account of his service in the War of 1812. He was allowed 80 acres of bounty land. On the 3 March 1855, another Act was passed by Congress and he was allowed an additional 80 acres of land.
On the 1850 Granville Co., N.C. census Ezekiel's occupation was given as a farmer. He d. 29 Sept 1871 in Tally Ho, Gran- ville Co., N.C. His estate was probated in the Granville Co. courts and his will was recorded in Will Book 23 in Granville Co. Ezekiel and Susan lived all their lives near Tally Ho in Granville County. After Ezekiel's death Susan, who was 78 years of age, applied for and was granted a pension of $8 per month, based on Ezekiel's service in the War of 1812. In her application she described her husband at the time of his enlistment as being about 5 feet 7 inches high and weighing about 135 pounds.
Radford Gooch was the bondsman for their marriage. The 1840 census shows that Ezekiel & Susan had 3 sons and four daughters at that time. According to his will, Ezekiel owned 197 acres of land at the time of his death. He left this all to his wife Susan and unmarried daughter Margaret. Papers filed with the Court by James Wheeler states that the estate of Ezekiel Wheeler, "consisting of land, stocks of 1 horse, cattle, hogs, household furniture, etc." was worth about $1,500.
Ezekiel married 2 Susanna 'Susan' Green 1 daughter of Elijah Green and Elisabeth Culverhouse on 5 May 1818 in Granville Co., North Carolina. Susanna was born about 1799 in Granville Co., North Carolina. She died in Tally Ho Precinct, Granville Co., North Carolina.
They had the following children:
+ 268 F i Edna Ferabow Wheeler 269 F ii Eliza Wheeler 1 was born in 1822 in Granville Co., North Carolina. She died before 1850 in Granville Co., North Carolina.
She was not listed with her husband or parents on the 1850 census and it is assumed she died before the census was taken. James lived only 2 households away from her parents.Eliza married 1 James B. Webster on 2 Jan 1844 in Granville Co., North Carolina. James was born in 1817 in North Carolina. James was counted in a census 2 in 1850 in Ledge of Rocks District, Granville Co., North Carolina. + 270 M iii Paul Lane Wheeler + 271 F iv Susan Wheeler + 272 M v Elijah Wheeler + 273 F vi Emeline Wheeler + 274 M vii James T. Wheeler + 275 F viii Margaret Ann Wheeler + 276 F ix Mary Jane Wheeler
77. Wiley E. Wheeler 1 (Benjamin , William , Martin , John , John , Henry ) was born 2 on 13 Apr 1797 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He died 3 on 24 Oct 1870 in Davidson Co., Tennessee. He was buried in Hamilton Methodist Church Cemetery. Wiley was counted in a census 4 in 1820 in Dutch District, Granville Co., North Carolina. He was counted in a census 5 in 1840 in Williamson Co., Tennessee. He was counted in a census 6 in 1850 in Davidson Co., Tennessee. He was counted in a census 7 in 1860 in Davidson Co., Tennessee. He was counted in a census 8 in 1870 in Davidson Co., Tennessee.
When Willie reached the age of twenty-one his father Benjamin sold him a piece of land containing 58 1/4 acres. This was located "on the waters of Ledge of Rock Creek" bordering on George Bearden and ___ Gay. Things apparently did not go well for the newlyweds. From the May session of court, on Tuesday, 8 May 1821, the following is found: (I have inserted some punctuation to make reading easier.)
"Whereas, the following Executions having been returned to this court
against Willie Wheeler, viz (that is) two executions in favor of Benjamin
Wheeler vs Willie Wheeler for the sum of fifty dollars each, with interest,
from 30th day of November 1918 till paid, and 40 cents costs. And the other
in favor of Benjamin Wheeler for twelve dollars eighty cents, with interest
from 5 day March 1821, till paid, and 40 cents costs. Two others in favor
of James Wright vs said Willie Wheeler: one for the sum of four dollars
eighty cents, with interest from 2nd August 1820 til paid, ten shillings
costs, and the other for the sum of fourteen dollars 57 1/2 cents, with
interest from 6th day December 1820 till paid and ten shillings costs. And
the other in favor of Thomas Bowden vs the said Willie Wheeler for the sum
of ninty three dollars and thirty cents with interest from 30th March 1821
til paid and eighty cents costs. All of which executions having the
following endorsement, viz: for want of goods and chattles, the within
execution is based on the lands and tenements of Wilie Wheeler supposed to
be 58 3/4 acres of lands lying on the waters of Big Ledge of Rock Creek
adjoining the lands of Benjamin Wheeler and Charles Beardin
R.F.P. Jones, Constable
5 April 1821Judgement of the Court that the Sheriff expose to public sale the
aforesaid tract of land containing 58 3/4 acres so as to compel the
payments of the aforesaid _____ as above stated and costs, as well
as all ensuing costs thereon and that he make return thereof to next
court.On the 22nd day of October 1821, Benjamin and Willie Wheeler sold the property to George Robertson for $225.00. When county taxes were assessed in 1823, Willie Wheeler was taxed on 112 acres of land in Nap of Reeds. This appears to be the 112 acres of land owned by his father-in-law, Martin, at the time of his death. The property was valued at $224 and the taxes amounted to 65 cents.
After living there for several years Willie and Mary Wheeler sold their interest in "the land descending to us out of the dower of Celia Wheeler laid off to her out of the lands of the said Martin Wheeler, deceased", to her brother Moses Wheeler for $86.25. Willie and Mary then moved their family a few miles away into the edge of Orange Co., N.C. where they lived for ten to twelve years. While living there, Willie Wheeler was witness for several marriages.
Between 13 Mar 1837, when their last son was born in N.C., and 22 Oct 1839, when their last dau. was b. in Tenn., they joined the migration west along with a number of their siblings. The first record of them in Tenn. was when the 1840 census was taken. They were living in Williamson Co. Nearby was Willie's brother James.
By the time the 1850 census was taken Willie and Mary were living in Davidson Co. Children listed in the household were 21 year old Mary; 18 year old Lorenzo; 13 year old Wiley; and 13 year old Dicy. When the 1860 census was taken their circumstances were greatly improved over what they had been at the start of their married life. On 25 Oct 1858, Willie had bought a piece of land in the 3rd Civil District of Davidson Co., containing a little over 76 acres, from John S. Shacklett. The price of the property was $2,205, which was to be paid in three installments. However, the Civil War and the unrest preceding it seems to have brought hard times and ruined his plans again. In August 1865, he turned this property over to a trustee, Isaac Whitworth, for a period of one year while he tried to come up with the money to pay debts owed to James Chandler and James Holloway. Whether he was able to do that is not known but in December 1867 he sold the piece of land, containg 76 acres 80 poles, to James Holloway for $2,295. Willie did not leave a written will.
When the 1870 census was taken on July 14th,Wiley was living with his son Benj. Martin Wheeler in the 5th Civil District of Davidson Co., Tenn. He was 73 years old.
Wiley married 2 Mary "Polly" Wheeler 1 daughter of Martin Wheeler and Celia Jones on 11 Sep 1816 in Granville Co., North Carolina. Mary was born 3 on 7 Aug 1797 in Granville Co., North Carolina. She died 4 on 3 Feb 1870 in Davidson Co., Tennessee. She was buried in Hamilton Methodist Church Cemetery.

He was a twin to Elijah James. He apparently died before the census was taken in 1830 as there was only one male in the "under ten" age group in the household of Wilie Wheeler when the 1830 census was taken.+ 280 M iv Elijah James "Lige" Wheeler + 281 F v Elizabeth Ellender Wheeler + 282 F vi Winifred Jane Wheeler 283 F vii Mary Walker Wheeler was born on 16 Apr 1830 in Orange Co., North Carolina.

Austin was born in 1817 in Georgia. Austin was counted in a census 1 in 1860 in Nashville, Davidson Co., Tennessee.
In 1860 he was a carpenter. His real estate was valued at $2,500 and his personal estate was valued at $1,000.+ 284 M viii Lorenzo Dow Wheeler 285 M ix Robert Potter Wheeler was born on 5 Feb 1834 in Orange Co., North Carolina. 286 F x Edy Francis Wheeler was born on 4 Apr 1835 in Orange Co., North Carolina.

78. Winifred Wheeler (Benjamin , William , Martin , John , John , Henry ) was born on 24 Oct 1799 in Granville Co., North Carolina. She died on 18 Sep 1865 in Illinois.
Winifred married 1 David Brogdon on 19 Jul 1822 in Granville Co., North Carolina. David was born on 15 Feb 1800 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He died on 9 Jan 1876 in Franklin Co., Illinois. David was counted in a census 2 in 1830 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He was counted in a census 3 in 1840 in Henry Co., Tennessee. He was counted in a census 4 in 1850 in Henry Co., Tennessee. He was counted in a census 5 in 1860 in Paris, Henry Co., Tennessee. He was counted in a census 6 in 1870 in Frankfort, Franklin Co., Illinois.
There was a 24 year old Henry J. Brogdon living in his household in 1870.
They had the following children:
289 M i son Brogdon 290 F ii Dicy Brogdon was born 1 about 1824 in North Carolina. She died in Frankfort, Franklin Co., Illinois.
She was living with her brother Robert in 1860. She never married.+ 291 F iii Sophronia H. Brogdon + 292 M iv Robert P.

He probably died between 1860 and 1870.
79. Benjamin (Franklin?) Wheeler Jr. (Benjamin , William , Martin , John , John , Henry ) was born on 20 Nov 1803 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He died about 1883 in Granville Co., North Carolina. Benjamin was counted in a census 1 in 1840 in Granville Co., North Carolina.

Public schools did not exist in N.C. until Jan 1839, when the N.C. General Assembly passed the state's first public school law. It provided for the division of the state into school districts. County and district school boards began to implement this plan and in June 1842, Benjamin Wheeler was one of the poll keepers named for the election of the first "School Committeemen" in Granville Co. On 8 July 1853, he was himself elected to the Board of Superintendents of Common Schools. He was appointed as a "school committeeman" in the Dutch District on 4 Jan 1855, and then was elected to the post on 21 April 1856.
When the census was taken in 1870, the value of his real estate was said to be $1,500 and his personal estate at $200.

They were buried in the family cemetery which was located about 2/10 of a mile through the woods from the C.C. Wheeler cemetery. The land where their graves are located is no longer in the Wheeler family but in the summer of 1993 arrangements were made and subsequently all the remains in the old Wheeler cemetery were moved to the C.C. Wheeler cemetery.
Benjamin married 1 Elizabeth "Betsy" Robertson daughter of George Robertson and Phebe on 13 Mar 1828 in Granville Co., North Carolina. Elizabeth was born 2 on 1 Aug 1809 in North Carolina. She died before 1880 in Granville Co., North Carolina.

Her obituary said: She d. 4 Mar 1897, at the residence of her brother-in-law in Granville Co. She was recieved as a member of the church at Dutchville in 1874 and was baptized by Eld. D.R. Moore. Two of her sisters were baptized at the same time. Later, another sister and a brother joined. Her father was already a member. They were all gifted in singing and brethern and friends who visited them were often entertained very pleasantly by the singing of spiritual songs. Now they have all passed away except the brother. The church here sadly misses their presence and their pleasant voices. Sister Lowery lived in Wake Co. after marriage, but never moved her membership. She came back and lived with a sister after her husband's death. Those who knew her will remember her as a neat, peaceful, industrious woman. As a woman and as a Baptist there was no spot or blemish on her name known to me. She passed away as quietly as she had lived and her features bore the tranquil look in death they had born in life.Mary married William F. Lowery on 14 Apr 1884 in Granville Co., North Carolina. William was born 1 in 1822 in North Carolina. William was counted in a census 2 in 1880 in New Light District, Wake Co., North Carolina.

At age 44, he was appointed a Justice of the Peace. His farm was located about 10 miles north of Lewisburg and about 5 miles south of Chapel Hill, Tenn. When the Civil War started, even at age 56, he did his part. He served as Conscript Officer and bought supplies for the Confederate Army. He also took his slaves and oldest grandson, 13 year old Alexander C. Robinson, and went south to build breast-works for the southern troops and to help in any way he could. At home, his wife Elizabeth did her part. She slipped food to the southern boys, thru the Union line, with the help of a slave. [Some information on this family came from Micky Coble in which she said "an added record is knowledge of Mrs. Ross Hopkins and which she has handed the compiler and is as follows ... His wife, Elizabetrh Jones Oakley ... was a relative of Gen. N.B. Forrest and Gen. Joe Wheeler .. Mama always told me this ... ." However, the genealogy of his family, compiled by General Joe Wheeler and his wife shows no connection to Nathan Bedford Forrest or to this Wheeler family.]
