Welcome To My Wheeler Ancestors!
My Wheeler family migrated from Virginia to Boone County, Missouri
They lived in Buckingham and Cumberland County In Virginia. John Wheeler appears to be the individual who had a land patent in 1745 in what is now Buckingham County, Virginia Buckingham court house was burned and many records are no longer available. I have records available of most of those believed to be John's descendants. These moved westward to Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Missouri as land was made available.
I have published a book that contains my research that was current in 1996. This work is still available for purchase. Contact me by email: wheeler_roy@yahoo.com or by regular mail at P. O. Box 62, Aurora, SD 57002-0062
