THOMAS1 WHEELER, known as “Sr.,” born at Cranfield, Co.

Several of the Wheeler family followed Rev. Peter Bulkeley of Odell, Co. Bedford, to his newly established town of Concord, Mass. Since some of them had children baptized at Cranfield as late as 1637, most of them probably came over between 1637 and 1640. In September 1644, Thomas Wheeler came with Rev. John Jones from Concord to Fairfield, Conn. Two of his half -brothers also came to Fairfield, of whom Ephraim remained there, but the youngest, who bore the same name as himself, returned eventually to Massachusetts.
The will of Thomas, “Sr.” named his wife Ann; gave his Concord property to his elder son Thomas; mentioned his daughter Sarah wife of Thomas Sherwood and their son Thomas; daughter (not named) and four grandchildren, Mary, James, Thomas and John Bennett; gave his Fairfield lands to his son John; and appointed his brother Thomas Wheeler Lieutenant,” Robert Lockwood, and Andrew Ward, all of Fairfield, overseers. Ephraim Wheeler was an appraiser of his estate.
The will of Ann Wheeler named her elder son Thomas, his wife and children; the children of her daughter Hannah, specifying Sarah and Hannah Bennett; grandchild Sarah Sherwood; Annis Sherwood, wife of her son-in-law; gave to Rebecca Turney, her best hat; and to Ann Squire, a petticoat. The illegible part of the will may have mentioned her other son John.

As is well known, there are some family names that are common to Ireland, England and Scotland and when the place of nativity or the descent is not stated it is not always possible to determine what the nationality of early American settlers may have been...It is possible, therefore, that some of these people were of English origin."⁴ Edward Cahal was also known as Edward Cahall.⁵ GAV-5.
