About Miriam Wheeler

  • 1600 at an unidentified location
  • 1615 at _, Kent, England

From The Hawley Society

Some sources claim Miriam Hawley to be Joseph Hawley’s sister, although Elias Sill Hawley was not supportive of this claim in THE HAWLEY RECORD.

Miriam married Moses Wheeler, probably in New Haven, and moved with him to Stratford. The records indicate that Moses was in Stratford in 1648, at least one to years prior to the earliest record of Joseph Hawley there.

Moses and Miriam are buried there in the Old Congregational Burying Ground. The location happens to be on the other side of the cemetery from Joseph, but not so far from some of Joseph’s childrens’ graves.

Moses was a carpenter who built ships. One wonders if perhaps he participated in the building of the John and Esther for Joseph Hawley. What is certain is that they would have been contemporaries and familiar with each other."
