Individual Details

Thomas Wheeler was born 18 March 1660, in Charles Co., Maryland. He was the ancestor of the Walter Ball who wrote the Wheeler History quoted herein. In 1671, John Wheeler obtained a land patent for a tract of land called Wheeler's Addition. He then proceeded to pay taxes on it in the name of Thomas from 1671 to 1724, when he deeded it to his son, Richard. Thomas was only eleven years of age in 1671. He registered his mark September 14, 1680, and resided at Port Tobacco. There are many court proceedings and registrations of cattle marks for his children, and transfers of land which establish the identities of his children. He died interstate in 1735 and letters of administration were granted to John Wheeler, whom Mr. Ball presumes to be his son, 7 March 1735, with Ignatius Mitchell and Thomas Mitchell as sureties. (Test. Pro. 30, 146). An inventory of the estate was filed 10 September 1736 by William MacPerson and Henry Browner. It was singed by Ann Mitchell and Elizabeth Green as Next of kin. (Inv. 22, Folio 72). The children of Thomas Wheeler included: Richard Wheeler born 1683, died 1734, Maryland. Thomas Wheeler b. 1686, d. 1692 Benjamin Wheeler b. 1686, d. July 1746 - sp.
