NJL: The John Wheeler who died 1688 in Anne Arundel County (described below) was the son of a John Wheeler who died 1684. Christian Bateman was his mother in a second marriage. This quote is definitely is not correct.
JOHN WHEELER, Jr. (1654-1688)
John Wheeler, Jr. was born in 1653, in Charles County, Maryland, the son of John and Mary Wheeler. John Wheeler, Jr. witnessed a deed (MD. Archives, V. 60, p. 404) in Charles County, Maryland, in October of 1671, when this John would have been only 18 years of age.
13 June 1688, William Bateman, and Christine, his wife, and John Gray signed as bondsmen for settlement of the estate of John Wheeler, Jr, and an inventory was filed 15 June 1688 by Walter Phelps and James Gray. (46-08-00, inv. & Accts. 10, 87). No children could be identified, and none were mentioned in the will of John Wheeler, Sr. (Ball, p. 13)
Anne Arundel County, MD.

Re: John Wheeler
This John Wheeler died 1684, with son John still living. He bequeaths land that was left to Ruth Beard in the Will of John Beard, Sr., which causes me to believe he may have been married to Ruth Beard before he m. Christian.
Wheeler, John, Anne Arundel Co., 21st Nov., 1684; 13th Dec., 1684. To son John, ex., home plantation and 100 A., "Timber Neck" on South R., Anne Arundel Co.; also 200 A., "Wheeler's Lot" on Magothy R. To Richard and Matthew, sons of Richard Beard, sd. lands in turn in event of death of son John without issue. To wife Christian, personalty. To John Belt and the Protestant Church of South R., personalty. Test: Henry Hanslap, Richd. Beard, Robt. Wade, Jno. Skinner, Saml. Gray. 4. 170.

I had not realized that his wife Christian had m. William Bateman. Wm. Bateman had an illegitimate child by way of a Mary (?) according to the All Hallows church records:

Bateman, William
bastard son of William Bateman and Mary [?]

I wonder who Mary was! The records indicate that Wm. Bateman was living on the land, Timberneck, listed in the Wheeler will, as reverting to Richard and Matthew Beard, should his son John not live:
