Individual Details
Beulah "Betsey" Wheeler
(1 Mar 1723/24 - Apr 1799)
Daughter of Benjamin and Hannah Wheeler of Lancaster, MA.
Wife of Nehemiah How(e), whom she married on March 4, 1747, in Bolton, Worcester, MA, and with whom she had 9 known children. For names, please see husband's memorial.
No gravestone. "The small 'Ward' Cemetery on Finel Hollow road, is located on the old Nehemiah How homestead. Nehemiah died in 1777 and it is supposed that he and his wife Betsey . . . are buried here, but no stones mark the spot . . . There are numerous slate slabs which probably mark graves."
