Biography ==Ephraim had two wives:<ref>Connecticut. Church Records Index. Connecticut State Library, Hartford, Connecticut.History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield edited by Donald Lines Jacobus, Volume 1, page 670</ref>

: m1 Sarah Turney (see comments on father's profile)
: m2 Sarah Sherwood

Research==*FamilySearch has two Ephraim Wheeler's. One married Sarah Sherwood and one married a Sarah Spring. This is causing confusion of children. Ibelieve the list in WikiTree is correct (Katherine, Abiah, Andrew, Jedediah), because of where they were born. <ref>FamilySearch record</ref>
