Note: If you take any family information from this report. Please be courteous and include the source. See the endnotes at the bottom of the pages. To find a name use Ctrl+F keys when it opens type in the desired name.

Special Note: Some Wheeler researchers think there is not enouhht doncumentation to prove ARCHELAUS7 WHEELER II, SAMUEL WHEELER and BENJAMIN WHEELER are the children of ARCHELAUS WHEELER I and MILDRED LYLE.

"Following is a list of those who are thought to have been children of Archelaus and Mildred Wheeler, not necessaryliy listed in orderof birth. There may have been others as well. All data open to correction and additions."
Source: Wheelers Cousins 1984, Page 31 - Per Miss Joida Whitten.

Researchers Note: It seems highly favorable that the list of children could be the offspring of Archelaus Wheeler I and Mildred Lyle. Based on research findings and resident locations of each family member. The following notes should help shed some light on the relations of said family.
See the "PROBATE RECORDS: Adair County, Kentucky Will Book C, page 545: Archiles WILL was not dated but was proved in court 3 January 1831, he mentioned his wife Mildred, sons: William, Archiles, Allen and Samuel, daughters: Nancy Dabney, Mildred Wade, and Polly Grimes.  The balance of his children were given their shares earlier.  He does not mention their names.  His wife Mildred and son William were the executors.   He made his mark.  The witnesses were John Butler, David Shields and John Smith."

One on the witnesses was John Butler, most likely the son of Archiles.
If any Wheeler researcher can furnish further documentation on this family, please do so by sending your data to my email address.
