Renae Farris has identified this as William W. Wheeler, the husband of Ann Mathis who was from Union Co., KY & then Wayne Co., IL. His page on the Wheeler-roots.org web site is located here. (opens in new window). No connection has been made between this William W. Wheeler and our William Wheeler Sr. who died two years earlier. To complicate matters worse, they both had sons, William Wheeler, Jr. who stayed in the White/Hamilton county areas. |
