A petition to the General Court dated Sept. 7, 1643, states "Whereas your humble petitioners came into this course about 4 years agoe, and have since then lived at Concord, where we were forced to buy what now we have, or the most of it, the convenience of town being before given out: your petitioners having been brought up in husbandry, of children, finding the lands about the town very barren, and the meadows very wet and unuseful,... and knowing it is your desire the lands might be subdued, have taken pains to search out a place on the north west of our town, where we do desidre some reasonable quanitite of land may be granted unto us, which we hope may in time be joined to the farms already laid out there to make a village.

Note: Threlfall lists the name of this first wife as unknown, An LDS ancestral file shows her as Katherine. But also shows a death date of 1653, so this name is probably the wrong Mrs. Katherine Wheeler as he names his second wife Rebecca in his will of 1635.

Note: 1900 census says Ellen is mother of 12 with 10 living. So I still have a few children to find.

Note: Single.

From "History of Bedford & Somerset Counties" p. 298.

This company appears to have been recriuted in the northern part of Somerset county, in September, 1864, John R. Kuhn was the captain.
The original Company G of the Ninety-third Regiment had been greatly reduced in numbers. The few remaining men were transferred to other companies, and this company became Company G. The men of Company G soon found that they had got into a fighting regiment. When the company joined the Ninety-third it was a part of the army under General Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley. Its first battle was Cedar Creek, on October 19, 1864, and some loss both in killed and wounded was suffered. In December 1864, the corps to which the Ninety-third was attached was ordered to Petersburg, Virginia, where it remained in winter quarters until the opening of the campaign in the spring of 1865. On March, 1865, the copany participated in an engagement at Petersburg, in which some loss was suffered by the company while it lasted. This seems to have been quite a sharp affair, as the regimental loss was 15 killed and 136 wounded. On April 2 the Ninety-third was again in action before Petersburg, and a considerable loss was sustained on that day. The last battle in which Company G took part was the battle of Sailor's Creek, on April 6, 1865. After the surrender at Appomattox the regiment marched to Danville for several weeks, it was ordered to Washington, where it was mustered out of service, June 27, 1865.
