    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth rec found. The will of Benjamin Wheeler of Newbury, 9 Apr 1690, proved 29 Sep 1691, supposedly mentions his father David and brother Nathan. The document is not found in Essex Co. probate registers but is cited in several works, including George B. Blodgette, EARLY SETTLERS OF THE TOWN OF ROWLEY (Rowley, MA, 1933), 403 (FHL #974.45/R1 D2b). Also see the adm/inv of estate of Benjamin Wheeler, late of Newbury, deceased, n.d., account 1 Nov 1697, Essex Co. Probate, (o.s.) 304:472 (FHL #860486). Nathan Wheeler, a proved son of David, attested to the account. Blodgette states that Benjamin was a member of the Canada Expedition at the time of his death. Date and place of birth are approximations.
      DEATH: Blodgette, EARLY SETTLERS, 403. Also see adm/inv of estate, above.
      NOTE: Benjamin is probably one of the two unnamed sons of David Wheeler recorded in Newbury vital records, born 21 Apr 1666 and 2 Apr 1668 (VITAL RECORDS OF NEWBURY, 2 vols. [Salem, MA, 1911], 1:541 [FHL #974.45/N1 V28v]).
