Francis Wheeler

(1667 - 1736)

Francis WHEELER (1670-1736)


Francis Wheeler was born about 1670, in Charles County, Maryland, the son of John and Mary ( ) Wheeler.
In June 1726 he made a deposition stating that he was fifty years old, and in 1730, he stated that he was sixty years old. He was married by 1690, so the latter is undoubtedly closer to the truth.
He married Winnifred Green, 28 August 1690 at Port Tobacco. She was the daughter of Leonard and Ann Green. After the death of Leonard Green, Francis and Winnifred Wheeler filed a complaint that they had not received Winnifred's heirship, which included Greene's Inheritance, a 200 acre tract of land and furnishings and a featherbed.
Francis served on several juries and appeared in court for other considerations on several occasions.
On 14 October 1718, Francis and Winnifred deeded Major's Choice to Jospeh Noble and his wife Mary Noble who was their daughter. (DB-F, Folio 110). He later (9 Nov 1730) deeded Major's Choice to his son Leonard (DB-Q, Folio 21), and on 23 February 1731, he deeded Wheeler's Design, a tract of 200 acres to his sons Clement and Ignatius (DB-BB, No. 2, Folio 128). On 11 February 1733, he deeded Middleton's lot to his son Clement (DB-BB No. 2, Folio 128).
His will was probated 13 February 1735/6, in Prince George County, Maryland. Ball abstracted it as follows:
"I give to my son, William Wheeler, part of Major's Choice but if he dies without issue it is to fall to my son Leonard Wheeler's second son, named John. To my son, William, that piece of land on the other side of Joseph Noble's plantation but if he dies without issue it is to fall to Joseph Noble's son called Francis . The lease is to make good the deed given to Joseph Noble's son, Joseph. I give the land together with all improvements I have, now called Major's Choice to my son Francis , but if he dies without issue, to fall to my son Clement Wheeler. To my son, Ignatius Wheeler, a tract of land in Calvert Manor joining William Noble's place, near the head of Aquia Creek containing 80 acres but in case Ignatius dies without issue it is to fall to my son, Leonard's child called Ignatius. I give to Mary Noble, daughter of Joseph Noble one>pacing mare colt. I give to my daughter Ann Jones, two burrows, one sow, one calf, and my black horse, Lucifer. I give my two feather beds to my two sons Ignatius and William. To my son Francis , my Negro man called Charles, but he is to give to my daughter Ann Jones 600 pounds of tobacco and three bbl of Indian Corn every year during (said) Negro's life. I give the residue of my estate to my four sons Leonard, Francis , Ignatius and Clement Wheeler.
