• Bolton, Worcester, Massachusetts, United States. Vital records of Bolton, Massachusetts, to the end of the year 1849. (Worcester, Mass.: Franklin P. Rice, 1910), 227. Wheeler, Mary, w. Jonathan, [died] Feb. 19, 1738
• Source:Nourse, Henry Stedman. Birth, Marriage, and Death Register, Church Records and Epitaphs of Lancaster, Massachusetts, 1643-1850, p. 274: 1712. July 27. Mary Wheeler Wife of Jonathan Wheeler owned ye Convenant and had her Daughter baptized, Mary. Since this is the only child baptized, it is probably the first. Leaving time for pregnancy and such, it would be reasonable to assume Mary got married in early 1711 or before. Assuming she was of legal age, 18, she would probably have to be born in 1692 or before. According to Source:Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States. Births, Marriages, and Deaths, 1635-1850, p. 26, Jonathan was born 28 July 1683. If we assume he was older than his wife, this suggests a birth between 1683-1692. In the Fletcher family there are possible windows between known siblings from 1687-1688 and 1690-1691 that seem the most likely time for her birth.
