Notes:
                   Note: It has been accepted that Thomas Wheeler came to Lynn, Essex, MA in 1635.However, three children born in Cranfield, Bedford, England are attributed to Thomas Wheeler and Mary Beckley.  These three fill in the gap between the 1635 marriage in Cranfield, and the birth of son, Isaac, in 1646.  Further research needed.

Came from England to Lynn, MA in 1635, to Stonington in 1667, where he was one of the "immortal nine" who organized the first Congregational Church.
