Notes

From HISTORY OF NEW LONDON COUNTY, CONNECTICUT, link

John WHEELER died Dec. 16, 1691. No connection has been traced between John WHEELER, of New London, and Thomas and Isaac WHEELER, cotemporary inhabitants of Stonington. John is first presented to us as part owner of a vessel called the "Zebulon" in 1667. He entered largely into mercantile concerns, traded with the West Indies, and had a vessel built under his own superintendence, which at the period of his death had just returned from an English voyage.

Not the same as John Wheeler, of New London

Work in progress as of Sept 2018. Evert Wheeler (profile’s son) was “of New England” on his marriage record.
