Individual Details
Joshua Wheeler
(Bef Aug 1637 - )
There is no record of the death here of Joshua, nor of his wife, nor is there any will or record of administration in Middlesex County. They were both living in 1703, when with their consent their son Isaac sells land in Concord to Isaac Temple (Deeds III-624) [Tolman in a later paragraph says: Joshua Wheeler died at Central Village CT 4 Feb. 1725; Elizabeth his wife died ibid 12 Feb. 1715/6 in the 80th year of her age.]
Joshua had a house lot of 14 acres on Walden Street, between George Wheeler [#1] on the corner of Main Street and Robert Merriam who lived on the Ebenezer Hubbard place (Hubbard Street). He had a mill on the little brook that runs from just south of Walden Pond to the river at Fairhaven. [Walcott on page 79 of his Concord in the Colonial Period puts this mill at "Swamp Bridge" on the brook crossing Sudbury Road betweet Grant Street and Southfield Road. He said the mill built in 1691, was jointly owned by Joshua Wheeler and Jonathan Prescott. RRW/JCW]
The birth of but one child is recorded. [Walcott, p. 79, old roads mss believes this mill at swamp bridge was on Sudbury Road near Robin Wheeler's house [235 Sudbury Road] [and] was jointly owned with Jonathan Prescott.] Their children were:
1011 I Joshua 3 b. 28 March 1663 d. 18 Nov. 1666
1012 II Timothy 3 d. 6 Dec. 1666
1013 III Isaac 3 m. Sarah Howe
