PREFACE 

More  than  fifty  years  ago  Silas  Carmi  Wheat  published  a  gene- 
alogy, dealing  primarily  with  the  family  of  Moses  Wheat  (c.  1616- 
1700)  of  Concord,  Massachusetts.  The  early  generations  of  his  des- 
cendants were  given,  as  far  as  his  great-grandsons,  four  brothers  — 
Samuel,  Salmon,  Benjamin  and  Solomon.  From  there  Mr.  Wheat 
carried  on  only  his  own  direct  line  from  Solomon  (died  c.  1797). 
It  was  his  intention  to  publish  a  second  volume  to  cover  the  other 
three  brothers,  but  after  his  sudden  death  in  1922  his  valuable 
manuscript  remained  untouched.  The  present  compiler,  also  a  Wheat 
descendant,  had  for  years  been  working  on  a  Wheat  genealogy,  and 
finally  Mr.  Wheat's  daughters  with  wonderful  generosity  gave  her 
all  their  father's  papers,  in  the  hope  that  the  work  might  eventually 
be  completed. 

This  is  not  and  cannot  pretend  to  be  a  finished  genealogy,  but 
it  appears  at  this  time  with  the  sole  thought  of  saving  it  from  the 
fate  of  so  much  unpublished  material  that  is  later  scattered  and  lost. 
A's  nothing  had  been  added  to  Mr.  Wheat's  MS  between  1922  and 
1942  when  it  was  given  to  me,  some  families  are  not  carried  further 
than  1922  while  others  are  brought  down  to  the  present.  In  order  to 
avoid  duplication  the  descendants  of  Solomon  in  Mr.  Wheat's  line 
are  not  given  in  detail  but  reference  is  made  for  further  information 
to  Vol.  I  by  page. 

The  names  of  Wheat  descendants  are  in  capitals  and  each  has  a 
number,  with  the  possible  exception  of  some  who  died  in  infancy  or 
childhood.  Children  are  listed  under  the  parents,  but  when  grand- 
children and  even  great-grandchildren  follow  immediately,  the  sys- 
tem of  numbering  may  seem  confused,  as  each  generation  is  taken 
up  separately.  However,  no  difficulty  should  be  found  if  the  index 
in  the  back  of  the  book  is  consulted. 

There  may  be  those  who  do  not  own  Vol.  I,  Mr.  Wheat's  book 
published  in  1903  but  may  wish  to  do  so.  A  limited  number  of  these 


remain  and  a  special  price  is  proposed  when  both  volumes  are  order- 
ed together. 

In  addition  to  the  family  of  Moses  Wheat  of  Massachusetts, 
that  of  Francis  Wheat  (born  probably  between  1690  and  1705)  of 
Maryland  is  included;  no  connection  between  them  in  England  has 
been  found,  though  it  may  well  exist.  Francis  is  thought  to  have 
come  to  this  country  in  1724,  and  owned  a  large  plantation  on  the 
site  of  the  present  city  of  Washington,  D.C. 

Records  of  several  unplaced  families  are  also  included,  with 
the  hope  that  they  may  eventually  find  homes  in  the  Wheat  field, 
and  quantities  of  items  from  books,  magazines  and  newspapers,  old 
and  new,  have  been  collected  but  are  too  numerous  to  add  here. 

Since  this  record  is  not  complete  it  is  hoped  that  descendants 
will  consider  it  as  a  framework  only,  to  be  corrected  and  amplified 
by  them.  The  compiler  welcomes  additional  information  and  cor- 
rections.

17  V  MOSES^  born  Sept.  1686;  died  before  1726.  Mar- 

riage intentions  published  June  10,  1710  with 
his  cousin  Deborah  Mansfield  of  Lynn,  daugh- 
ter of  Joseph  and  Elizabeth  (Williams)  Mans- 
field. But  on  Oct.  21,  1712  she  married  Joseph 
Ramsdell  at  Lynn.  No  further  record  has  been 
found  of  Moses,  and  he  may  have  been  the 
JOHN  WHEAT  who  enlisted  in  Her  Majesty's 
military  service,  Oct.  10,  1710  and  served  in 
Major  Gilbert  Abbot's  company  at  Annapolis 
Royal,  and  died  Mar.  17,  1711  after  158  days. 
(New  Hampshire  State  Papers). 

14  SAMUEL^  WHEAT  (Joshua',  Moses')  was  born  July  31, 
1677  at  Concord.  Mass.  and  died  in  1735  in  Bermuda,  ae 
58.  He  married  1 1  Lydia  — ,  who  died  Apr.  6,  1720  ae  44 
and  is  buried  at  Needham,  Mass.  A  brown  headstone  in  the 
cemetery  there  is  inscribed  —  "Here  Lyes  ye  Body  of  Mrs. 
Wheat  Wife  of  Doctr.  Samuel  Wheat  Who  Deed  April  ye 
6th  1720.  Aged  44  years." 

He  married  2)  Nov.  8,  1720,  Mary  Chadwick  who  surviv- 
ed him  and  married  2)  at  Springfield,  Henry  Gilbert  of 
Brookfield,  Mass.,  son  of  Thomas  Gilbert  of  Springfield. 
Samuel  Wheat  was  a  physician,  gained  distinction  in  his 
profession  and  acquired  a  fair  estate.  He  owned  land  in 
several  towns,  and  resided  in  turn  in  Concord,  Newton, 
Watertown.  Needham,  Cambridge  and  Roxbury,  Mass.  On 
June  6,  1722  he  "of  Needham"  bought  from  Daniel  Hastings 
his  home  at  the  east  corner  of  Brattle  and  Mason  streets, 
Cambridge.  (History  of  Cambridge,  Lucius  R.  Page,  p. 
576) .  A  smith  shop  was  included  on  the  property. 
Apr.  25,  1735.  Samuel  Wheat  of  Roxbury,  and  wife  Mary, 
sold  land  for  £100. 

It  has  not  been  discovered  why  Dr.  Wheat  was  in  Bermuda 
at  his  death,  nor  where  he  is  buried,  but  Mary  Wheat  of 
Watertown,  widow  of  Dr.  Samuel  Wheat  late  of  Bermudas 
in  the  West  Indies  asked  for  administration  on  the  estate, 
and  on  Aug.  1,  1735  Dr.  Samuel  Wheat  of  Newton  (his 
son)  was  appointed  administrator.  (Suffolk  Co.  Probates). 
The  widow  accepted  £166.  as  her  dowry.  The  remainder 


was  divided  into  five  equal  parts  —  two  for  Samuel,  who 
must  pay  all  debts,  and  one  for  each  of  his  brothers,  who 
would  be  Salmon,  Benjamin,  and  Solomon. 
"Mary  Wheat  is  Come  to  Dwell  in  the  Town  of  Watertown 
and  Now  Dwels  in  The  House  of  Benjn.  Chadwick  in  sd 
Town :  Shee  Came  Last  from  Newton  on  or  about  the  month 
of  August  last  past,  the  Selectman  Refuse  to  Accipt  hir  as 
an  Inhabitant  ...  to  warn  the  Sd  Mary  Wheat  to  Depart  out 
of  Watertown.  17  Day  Nov.  1735."  (Watertown  Records, 
III,  p.  131) 

18  +      i  SAMUEL^  (1703-1770). 

19+     ii  SALMON^  (1705/6-1788). 

20  +    iii  BENJAMIN^  (c.  1709-1758) . 

21  +     iv  SOLOMON^  (     -1796  or  '97). 

22  V  JEMIMA^,  born  May  8,  1713;  probably  d.y. 

23  vi  KEZIAH%  twin;  probably  d.y. 

Bond's  "Watertown"  calls  the  twins  JENNISON 
and  LYDIA,  causing  much  fruitless  searching 
and  the  thought  that  the  mother,  Lydia,  might 
be  a  JENNISON,  but  the  original  record  gives 
the  names  as  above. 

24  vii  possibly  ELIZABETH^  bap.  May  12,  1723,  by 

the  second  wife.  The  records  of  the  First 
Church  of  Cambridge  give  the  baptism;  "at 
the  same  time  the  mother  Elizabeth  owned  the 
covenant".  The  name  of  the  mother  is  a  mistake 
or  there  may  have  been  another  Samuel  Wheat 
with  wife  Elizabeth  in  Cambridge  at  that  time. 

15  JOSEPH^  WHEAT  {Joshua^  Moses') ,  born  c.  1679  probably 
in  Groton,  Mass.;  died  Apr.  26,  1760  (Bond's  Watertown). 
Joseph  Wheat  and  "Pricillah"  Flagg,  both  of  Concord,  mar- 
ried June  5,  1705  by  Justice  Minott.  (Concord  VR).  She 
was  daughter  of  Eleazer  Flagg  of  Watertown  and  his  wife, 
Deborah  (Wright) ,  widow  of  John  Barnes. 
He  was  a  farmer  and  weaver  and  lived  at  Concord,  Mass. 
in  that  part  set  off  in  1735  as  Lincoln. 
Aug.  8,  1700.  Moses  Wheat  sells  to  "my  cousin"  (nephew) 


Joseph  Wheat  of  Concord  for  20/  a  year,  a  half  interest  in  7 
acres.  Oct.  5,  1700,  John  Wheat  deeded  to  "my  cousin 
(nephew)  Joseph  Wheat  of  Concord  for  good  will'  a  one- 
third  interest  in  146  acres.  Joseph's  parents  were  then  liv- 
ing in  Groton.  so  it  may  be  inferred  that  Joseph  lived  with 
his  uncles  in  1700,  and  that  his  twenty-first  birthday  occur- 
red in  that  year. 

Jan.  31,  1706.  Joshua  Wheat  sells  to  "my  son  Joseph  Wheat 
for  £20  all  of  his  land.  Feb.  20,  1706.  Moses  Wheat  deeded 
to  "my  cousin  Joseph  Wheat  for  care  during  life"  all  his 
land,  50  acres.  Later  he  assigned  to  Joseph  his  right  in 
land  that  might  be  granted  for  his  military  service  against 
King  Philip.  Joseph  had  brothers  living  at  the  time  but  he 
alone  received  gifts  of  land  from  his  uncles. 
In  1735  the  General  Assembly  granted  a  large  tract  of  land 
for  military  service,  and  Joseph  in  the  right  of  his  uncle 
Moses  Wheat  received  a  lot  in  tract  No.  6,  later  incorporat- 
ed as  the  town  of  Templeton,  Mass.  In  1749  he  conveyed 
a  part  of  this  land  "to  my  beloved  son  Josiah  Wheat"  and 
in  1751  the  rest  to  his  daughter,  Abigail  Wheat.  From  1739 
to  1748  he  made  four  deeds  to  his  son  John  Wheat  of  Lin- 
coln. Thus  he  followed  the  examples  of  his  father  and  his 
uncle  Moses  in  disposing  of  his  property  before  his  death. 

Children  of  Joseph  and  Priscilla   (Flagg)   Wheat,  from 
printed  records  of  Concord,  Lincoln  and  Hollis,  N.H. 

25  i  DEBORAH^   born   Mar.   1704/5;    she   has   been 

doubted  by  a  descendant,  perhaps  on  accoimt 
of  her  birth  date,  but  the  date  may  be  wrong; 
she  would  be  named  for  her  mother. 

26  ii  ELIZABETH\  born  Sept.  4,  1706. 

27  iii  JOSEPH^  born  Nov.  28,  1710,  Concord;  Joseph 

Wheat  and  Susanna  Stoutenburg,  both  of  Con- 
cord, married  Oct.  12,  1749  by  Justice  Minott. 
They  may  have  settled  in  Worcester  county  and 
raised  a  family  including  — 

74  +        i)    JOSEPH-^  born  c.  1754;  of  Spencer,  Mass. 

75  ii)    DELILAH%  born  c.    1760;    married  Jan. 

19,  1786  at  Milford,  Mass.  Reuben  Al- 


bee.  (Or  she  may  have  been  a  daughter 
of  SALMON). 

28  iv  ABIGAIL^  born  Feb.  24,  1712/13;   married  at 

HoUis,  N.  H.,  May  1,  1754,  Timothy  Cook.  Her 
father,  Joseph  Wheat,  in  1751  conveyed  to  her 
part  of  the  lot  in  tract  Narragansett  No.  6,  later 
incorporated  as  the  town  of  Templeton,  Mass. 
Her  brother  Thomas  lived  at  Hollis  and  she 
may  have  gone  there  with  him. 

29  +      V  J0HN4,  born  Aug.  14,  1717;  died  Jan.  28,  1784. 

30  +     vi  JOSIAH^  born  Mar.  11,  1719/20;  died  1759.

Feb.  26,  1738,  Samuel  Stearns  jr.,  born  Feb. 
21,  1714.  They  had  16  children;  lived  in  Leo- 
minster and  Ashby,  Mass.  He  married  2)  Lu- 
cretia  Seavy,  3)  Abigail  Gilbert,  and  had  seven 
more  children,  23  in  all  but  4  died  as  infants. 
89  i)   RUTH^  STEARNS,  8th  child,  born  Apr.  20, 

1752  or  1755;  married  in  1774,  Joseph 
Damon  of  Reading,  Mass.  After  the  birth 
of  three  children  they  removed  to  Cale- 
donia Co.,  Va.  where  she  died  in  1826. 
(See  Stearns  Genealogy,  Van  Wag- 
enen,  1901,  vol.  H,  58-9). 

32  +  viii  THOMAS^  born  May  12,  1723;   died  Feb.  12, 

1820. 

33  ix  BENJAMIN^  born  Feb.  28,  1724/5;  died  Apr. 

13  following. 

34  RICHARD  WHEAT  of  Boston,  truckman;   mar- 

ried Elizabeth  Crawfort,  bp.  at  the  church  in 
Battle  Square,  Aug.  27,  1721  and  joined  Sept. 
3  following.  He  joined  the  Old  South  Church, 
Boston,  June  21,  1741. 

Mar.  10,  1761,  the  Boston  Selectmen  agree 
"that  Mr.  Wheat's  child  may  be  Removed  from 
his  house  to  Dr.  Gardner's  Hospital  with  Bed- 
ding Clothes,  etc."  They  had  8  children,  bp. 
1745-1762. 


Apr.  22,  1765,  administration  on  the  estate  of 
Richard  Wheat  granted  to  the  widow  Elizabeth 
Wheat  of  Boston;  Bondsmen,  Shippie  Town- 
send,  blockmaker,  and  Saml.  Barrett,  Gent. 
Mr.  S.  C.  Wheat  thought  he  might  belong  in 
this  family  but  was  more  likely  to  be  a  recent 
arrival  from  England. 

16  JOSHUA^  WHEAT  {Joshua',  Moses')  born  at  Groton,  Mass. 
but  date  not  found;  died  Mar.  2,  1762  "at  Mr.  Jonathan 
Huntting's"  at  Needham,  Mass.  (Records  of  the  First 
Church) . 

Joshuay  Wheat  and  Elesebeth  Edey  (or  Eddy),  both  of 
Watertown,  married  Feb.  5,  1719.  (Medford,  Mass.  VR). 
She  was  born  July  29,  1703,  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Eliza- 
beth (Woodward)  Eddy  of  Watertown. 
He  was  a  physician;  in  1726  as  of  Weston  he  signed  with 
other  heirs  of  his  father  but  his  name  has  not  been  found 
on  any  other  deed,  and  there  is  no  evidence  that  he  receiv- 
ed any  part  of  his  father's  estate  except  his  portion  of  the 
£63  from  the  will  of  his  aunt  Abigail  Brown. 
In  1729  they  removed  to  Needham  but  were  "warned  out" 
and  again  from  Worcester  in  the  August  term  1735  (Wor- 
cester Town  Records,  132) .  He  continued  to  be  unfortunate. 
Dr.  Joshua  Wheat,  wife  Elizabeth  and  4  children  warned 
to  depart  out  of  Westborough,  May  term  1737  (Court  of 
General  Sessions,  p.  182) 

Joshua,  wife  and  children  warned  from  Southborough, 
Aug.  16,  1737  (Worcester  Co.  Warnings,  p.  66,  edited  by 
Blake,  1899) .

Mason,  whose  1st  wife,  Sarah,  died  Apr.  3,

son allows  her  to  keep  her  son  Samuel  Glover 
until  he  is  14  years  old;  Sturbridge,  Mar.  17, 
1761. 

One  record  says  they  removed  to  Belchertown, 
Mass.  "where  she  died  at  the  home  of  her  step-

(Original  in  Middlesex  Co.  Probates,  Mass.) 

The  estate  seems  to  have  been  valued  too  high  by  the  testa- 
tor and  badly  managed.  The  son,  Samuel  Wheat  of  Prov- 
idence and  wife  Jerusha,  deeded  their  interest  in  the 
estate  for  £200,  June  7,  1771.  As  late  as  Sept.  18,  1792, 
after  the  death  of  his  widow,  Hannah,  the  estate  owed 
unpaid  legacies  of  £260.14.0:  one  item  is  for  last  illness 
and  funeral,  £10.8.0  due  Capt.  Thomas  Eustis,  the  son- 
in-law.  The  heirs  finally  received  only  3/6  on  the  pound.

19     SALMON''   WHEAT    {Samuel',  Joshua',   Moses'),   born   at 
Watertown,  Mass.  Jan.  7,  1705/6;  died  in  1788  in  the  83rd 


10 


year  of  his  age  (gravestone  in  the  Shaftsbury  Center,  Vt. 

cemetery) . 

Married  1)  Jan.  1,  1729/30,  Marcy  Gale  (Mary  Geal  in 
Bailey's  Conn.  Marriages).  She  was  born  Dec.  7,  1710 
at  Watertown,  daughter  of  Richard  and  Sarah  (Knight) 
Gale  of  Watertown,  Mass.  and  Canterbury,  Conn.  She 
died  between  1751  and  1757  as  on  Jan.  13,  1757  he  mar- 
ried 2)  at  Mendon,  Mass.  Abigail  White. 

When  Salmon  Wheat  went  to  Connecticut  with  his  letter 
from  the  Church  at  Watertown  to  the  Church  at  Canter- 
bury he  was  bidden  to  wait  under  the  watch  and  guard 
of  the  church  until  the  elders  and  members  should  de- 
cide whether  he,  or  anyone,  might  be  received  by  letter 
or  must  come  in  by  repentance  and  confession  of  the 
faith.  In  this  as  in  all  Connecticut  churches  the  path  to 
Heaven  was  walled  up  except  for  a  very  narrow  gate 
through  which  only  one  person  at  a  time  was  permitted 
to  pass  by  dint  of  hard  squeezing.  Fourteen  years  later, 
after  spirited  debates  during  the  winter,  a  motion  to  ad- 
mit to  full  communion  those  who  brought  letters  from 
orthodox  churches  was  "passed  by  a  clear  majority". 
Apr.  7,  1743  "at  a  meeting  of  the  First  Church  of  Christ 
in  Canterbury,  Deacon  Backus  being  moderator  and 
Obediah  Johnson  clerk,  a  group  including  Salmon  Wheat, 
all  producing  certificates  from  the  pastors  of  divers 
churches  with  consent  of  the  bretheren  that  they  were  in 
full  communion  and  regular  standing  in  said  churches 
and  being  recommended  to  the  watch  and  care  of  this 
church  it  was  voted  that  they  (be)  admitted  to  all  church 
priviliges  in  this  church". 

He  was  a  weaver  and  is  so  called  in  1726  and  '27  when 
he  and  his  brother  Samuel  buy  and  sell  land  in  Newton, 
Mass.  and  he  and  his  wife  Marcy  owned  land  in  Canter- 
bury. In  1729  her  uncles,  Abraham,  Ebenezer  and  John 
Gale  quit  claim  to  Marcy  and  her  five  sisters  as  heirs  of 
their  brother  Richard  Gale  lately  deceased  their  right  in 
land  in  Canterbury.  The  mother  of  the  girls,  Sarah  Gale 
of  Canterbury,  married  2)  June  10,  1731  at  Norwich, 
Samuel  Manning  of  Windham.

Salmon  was  in  Killingly,   Conn,   in   1745  and  '46;    in 
Plainfield,  Conn,  in  1751 ;  then  to  Amenia,  New  York,  in 
the  Nine  Partners  tract,  and  on  Apr.  30,  1764  Salmon 
Wheat  from  the  Delaware  River  was  warned  from  Men- 
don,  Mass.  Sometime  between  1772  and  '88  he  went  to 
Vermont  and  spent  his  last  days  with  his  son  Jonathan 
probably,  in  Shaftsbury. 
Owing  to  the  lack  of  vital  records  in  New  York  State,  the  fam- 
ilies who  went  over  into  the  counties  west  of  the  Hudson 
River  are  very  difficult  to  trace,  and  neither  Silas  C.  Wheat 
nor  the  present  compiler  can  vouch  for  the  accuracy  of 
records  of  the  descendants  of  Salmon  Wheat.

1717,  Concord,  Mass.;  died  Jan.  28,  1784  in  Lincoln,  Mass. 
He  married  1)  Nov.  10,  (Nov.  13,  Bible  record)  1740, 
Grace  Brown  by  Rev.  Daniel  Bliss.  She  was  born  Feb.  5, 
1720/1,  Concord,  daughter  of  John  and  Elizabeth  (Potter) 
Brown;  died  Sept.  6,  1762  (in  42nd  year,  gravestone).  He 


14 


married  2)  May  2,  1764,  Mrs.  Abigail  Smith  of  Concord 
(Lincoln  VR) 

When  the  town  of  Lincoln  was  formed  in  1735  he  signed 
the  protest  against  being  set  off  from  Concord,  which  was 
not  heeded.  Between  1739  and  1748  he  bought  four  pieces 
of  land  from  his  father  —  two  lots  in  Concord,  one  in  Bed- 
ford and  a  farm,  divided  by  the  boundary  between  Lincoln 
and  Concord.  These  farms  were  all  left  to  his  son  Joseph 
who  is  to  pay  all  legacies.  On  Aug.  13,  1773  he  bought  from 
John  Hinsdale  of  Deerfield,  Hampshire  Co.  for  £40,  65 
acres  in  Conway,  being  part  of  lot  #  93;  wit:  Selah  Barn- 
ard, Samuel  Barnard  jr.  Recorded  June  30,  1785  (Hamp- 
shire, Co.,  Mass.  LR,  vol.  24,  p.  677)  This  was  bought  for 
his  son  Benjamin. 

From  a  deed  in  1743  he  evidently  occupied  a  part  of  the 
house  in  which  his  father  lived,  for  he  received  "one  half 
of  the  chimney,  a  door,  and  a  foot-path". 
On  Jan.  1,  1760  he  petitioned  the  court  in  Worcester  to 
appoint  Charles  Baker  guardian  of  all  the  children  of  his 
late  brother  Josiah  Wheat  "the  circumstances  of  my  house 
being  such  by  reason  of  an  aged  parent  I  have  to  take  care 
of  that  I  cant  no  ways  take  care  of  them". 
His  will,  dated  Feb.  19,  1779:  prov.  Mar.  9,  1785  reads  "I, 
John  Wheat  of  Lincoln,  yeoman  .  .  .  give  unto  Abigal 
Wheat,  my  now  married  wife,  household  goods,  rooms  and 
a  garden,  and  yearly  100  lbs  of  pork,  60  lbs  of  beef,  6 
bushels  of  Indian  corn,  6  of  rye,  one  basket  of  malt,  two 
barrels  of  cider,  7  bushels  of  winter  apples,  and  a  sufficien-

door,  a  horse  to  ride,  all  during  her  widowhood  and  no 
longer.  To  Benjamin  Wheat  my  son  one  half  my  wearing 
apparel,  one  half  my  livestock  for  his  services  and  65  acres

otherwise  given  provided  he  executes  this  will  faithfully.

His  next  move  was  to  Bernardston  (first  called  Fall  Town) . 
He  owned  land  there,  some  of  which  he  sold  to  Gershom 
Orvis  in  1777;  his  final  purchase  there  was  June  18,  1781 
when  he  bought  of  David  Page  land  on  the  northwest 
branch  of  Fall  River.  On  Dec.  14,  1782  he  sells  to  John 
Brooks  of  Glastonbury  (Conn.)  "where  sd  Wheat  now 
lives",  including  a  dwelling  house  and  barn,  and  2  pieces 
of  26  acres  each  near-by,  one  being  south  of  sd  Wheat's 
dwelling  house.  (These  deeds  are  found  at  Greenfield,  Mass., 
vols.  HI  and  IV). 

From  Bernardston  they  appear  to  have  moved  to  Salem, 
Washington  Co.,  N.  Y.  He  is  in  the  census  of  1790  with  a 
family  of  2  males  over  16,  4  males  under  16,  and  6  females, 
listed  next  to  his  son-in-law  Asa  Cleveland.  In  1794  he  is 
assessed  £17.  on  real  estate  and  on  personal  £16.15/. 

(N.  Y.  Genealogical  &  Biographical  Record,  vol.  43) 
Late  in  life  Samuel  removed  to  Venice,  Cayuga  Co.,  N.  Y. 
where  he  and  his  wife  spent  the  rest  of  their  life,  probably 
with  some  of  their  children,  as  no  records  have  been  found 
of  his  owning  land. 

He  was  a  soldier  in  the  Revolution,  with  various  service: 
from  Aug.  1776  for  2  months  as  private  under  Capt.  Mor- 
rison in  Col.  John  Mosely's  Regiment,  and  took  part  in 
the  Battle  of  White  Plains  under  Brig.  Gen.  Alexander  Mc- 
Dougall.  The  next  year  he  served  for  6  weeks  as  private 
under  Capt.  Amasa  Sheldon  in  the  same  Regiment.  He  en- 
listed Sept.  23,  1777,  discharged  Oct.  18,  1777  in  the  North- 
ern Dept.,  Capt.  Joseph  Stebbins  Co.,  with  115  miles  travel 
home;  roll  sworn  to  at  Deerfield. 

In  the  summer  of  1777  as  Burgoyne  was  coming  down  the 
Hudson  River  Valley  he  sent  a  detachment  to  Bennington, 
Vt.  When  this  news  reached  Deerfield,  Mass.  a  company 
under  Capt.  Stebbins  marched  directly  to  Bennington. 
Samuel  Wheat  was  a  member  of  this  company.  They  ar- 
rived too  late  for  the  Battle  of  Bennington  but  joined  Col. 
David  Wells'  Regiment  and  marched  to  Fort  Edward,  later 
joining  General  Gates  and  were  under  the  direct  command 


33 


of  Benedict  AYnold;  the  company  was  in  the  battles  of 
Stillwater  and  Bemis  Heights.  Burgoyne  surrendered  Oct. 
17,  1777,  and  the  company  was  discharged  the  following 
day,  Samuel  Wheat's  name  being  on  the  payroll.  From  the 
spring  of  1778  he  served  6  months  in  Capt.  Cook's  com- 
pany, Col.  William  Shepard's  Regt. 

He  received  a  pension,  for  service  in  the  Massachusetts 
Militia,  as  a  private,  placed  on  the  roll  May  6,  1833  and 
granted  from  Mar.  4,  1831;  he  was  aged  83,  living  in  Ca- 
yuga Co.,  N.  Y.  A  Revolutionary  marker  has  been  placed 
on  his  grave.

53  JONATHAN^  WHEAT  [Salmon'',  Dr.  Samuel',  Joshua^ 
Moses^),  born  Apr.  1,  1735  at  Canterbury,  Conn,  died 
Dec.  10,  1809  ae  74  yr.  8  mo.,  probably  at  Shaftsbury,  Vt. 
though  one  record  says  at  Bennington.  He  is  buried  in  the 
cemetery  at  Shaftsbury  Center,  Vt. 

He  married  Sarah  Draper,  daughter  of  James  and  Sarah 
(Allen)  Draper  of  Killingly,  Conn,  and  Shaftsbury,  Vt. 
She  was  born  Feb.  27,  1744/5  (Brimfield,  Mass.  VR) ; 
died  c.  1827  in  Truxton,  N.  Y.  and  is  buried  in  the  Keeney 
cemetery  there. 

Jonathan  Wheat  is  on  a  tax  list  of  June  1758  at  Crum  El- 
bow, Dutchess  Co.,  N.  Y.  ( Adriance  Library,  Poughkeepsie) 
and  in  1765  is  of  Beekman's  Precinct,  the  name  of  the 
whole  district.  Aug.  25,  1768  he  of  "Batemans"  (error  for 
Beekmans)  Precinct  bought  for  £15  of  Moses  Robinson  of 
Bennington,  land  in  Shaftsbury,  N.  H.  (alias  New  York, 
now  Vt.),  and  again  on  Dec.  3,  1768  bought  for  £80  from 
James  Draper  —  his  father-in-law  —  more  land  in  Shafts- 
bury. Sept.  21,  1790  he  again  purchased  land  there,  being 

35 


called  "of  Bennington".  In  two  deeds  in  June  1804  he  sold 
to  his  son  Jonathan  jr  of  Granville,  N.  Y.  for  S800.  and 
care  for  life,  land  in  Bennington  on  the  great  road  that 
leads  to  Shaftsbury.  His  final  deed  there  is  dated  June  22, 
1805  when  he  and  Sarah  sold  to  George  Gay  of  Arlington 
for  S600.  (Shaftsbury  LR,  vols.  Ill  -  VI). 
The  purchase  of  1768  at  "Shaftsbury,  N.  H,  (alias  New 
York,  now  Vermont",  took  place  at  the  time  when  Vermont 
was  set  off  from  New  Hampshire,  and  New  York  and  Ver- 
mont both  claimed  a  narrow  strip  bordering  on  both  states 
and  continuing  south  between  New  York  and  Connecticut; 
it  was  known  as  "The  Oblong".  Feeling  ran  high,  there 
were  mobs  and  riots  in  Bennington  and  elsewhere,  and 
Jonathan  was  forced  to  leave  his  home  for  fear  of  bodily 
injury.  Two  affidavits  by  him  are  given  in  the  Documen- 
tary History  of  the  State  of  New  York,  Albany  1851,  vol. 
IV. 

Jonathan  in  the  census  of  1790  had  a  family  of  3  males 
over  16,  1  under,  and  2  females,  and  in  1800,  2  males  16-26, 
1,  26-45,  and  1  over  45;  females  1,  10-16,  1  over  45,  both 
times  as  of  Bennington. 

After  the  death  of  her  husband  Sarah  (Draper)  Wheat  re- 
mained for  a  time  in  Bennington;  in  1815  she  and  her  son 
Jonathan  jr.  sold  more  of  the  Shaftsbury  land,  and  on 
Feb.  5,  1819,  Jonathan,  then  of  Hampton,  N.  Y.,  executed 
a  deed  of  gift  to  his  mother,  Sarah  Wheat  of  Truxton,  N.  Y., 
what  was  probably  the  rest  of  the  Vermont  property.  On 
the  following  July  6  Sarah  sold  this,  42  acres,  for  $400.  to 
her  son  Richard  Wheat  of  Truxton;  wits:  Reuben  Risley, 
J.  P.,  David  Griswold,  jr.  (Shaftsbury  LR,  vol.  VII,  p.  402).

Both  his  parents  died  c.  1759  and  on  Dec.  5,  1761  Joshua 
Hide  was  appointed  his  guardian.  On  Oct.  30,  1761  assign- 
ment was  made  to  Samuel  Wheat,  eldest  son  of  Josiah 
Wheat,  deceased,  of  the  whole  of  the  said  deceased's  real 
estate  situated  in  Templeton,  90  acres,  and  a  right  in  the 
undivided  lands. 

He  removed  to  Westminister,  Vt.,  then  claimed  to  be  a  part 
of  New  Hampshire.  The  governor  of  New  York  claimed  the 
territory  west  of  the  Connecticut  River  as  a  part  of  New 
York,  and  the  King  supported  his  claim  against  New 
Hampshire.  Nov.  1,  1770,  Samuel  Wheat  and  his  neighbors 
to  the  number  of  420  men  addressed  a  petition  to  the  King, 
praying  for  the  privilege  of  holding  the  lands  they  had  im- 
proved under  grants  older  than  the  claim  of  New  York  to 
the  territory,  they  "paying  reasonable  fees  for  the  said 
permit".  On  Dec.  23,  1772,  he  was  one  of  160  men  who 
petitioned  Governor  William  Tryon  of  New  York  for  the 
privilege  of  electing  a  representative  to  the  General  Assem- 
bly from  Cumberland  county.  Samuel  Wheat  of  Putney, 
Vt.  —  only  a  few  miles  from  Westminister  —  "subject  of 
New  York"  was  arrested  and  brought  to  trial  in  Vermont 
on  May  27,  1779  and  fined  £3,  as  one  who  refused  to  submit 
to  the  Vermont  authorities.  (History  of  Eastern  Vermont,

154  JERUSHA'S  WHEAT  (Samuel',  ^  ',  Joshua',  Moses'),  born 
April  5,  1767,  probably  at  Newton,  Mass.  Her  baptism  is 
recorded  there,  with  her  brother,  John  Allen  Wheat,  but 
without  date.  She  died  at  Jackson,  Washington  Co.,  New 
York,  Sept.  29,  1838  ae  72  (sic) .  She  is  probably  buried 
beside  her  husband  but  the  grave  is  unmarked. 
She  married  at  Salem,  N.  Y.  Dec.  4,  1785,  Asa  Cleveland, 
bom  Mar.  13,  1763  in  Windham,  Conn.,  son  of  Moses  and 
Tabitha  (Spencer)  Cleveland  and  descendant  of  Moses 
Cleveland  of  Woburn,  Mass.  Asa  died  at  Jackson,  Aug.  17, 
1824  and  is  buried  in  the  old  cemetery  at  Salem.  In  his 
family  Bible  he  spelled  his  name  Cleaveland. 
He  served  in  the  Revolution,  private  in  Capt.  Wade's  Co., 
Windham,  Apr.  26,  1780  to  Jan.  1,  1781  and  enlisted  again 

69 


the  following  June  for  6  months.  He  owned  no  land  in 
Windham,  and  in  1785  went  with  his  parents  and  their  other 
children  to  Salem,  N.  Y.  where  he  spent  the  rest  of  his  life. 
In  1815  Jackson  was  set  off  at  the  south  end  of  Salem.  He 
and  Jerusha  must  have  had  a  brief  courtship  as  the  Cleve- 
lands  did  not  reach  Salem  until  Spring  1785  and  he  and 
Jerusha  were  married  on  Dec.  4  of  that  year.  They  lived 
next  door  to  her  father,  Samuel  Wheat;  the  house  is  still 
standing  (1955)  on  the  east  side  of  Route  #22  in  Jackson 
and  has  been  visited  many  times  by  their  gt.  gt.  grand- 
daughter (the  compiler  of  this  record). 
Asa  is  listed  as  an  inhabitant  of  Washington  Co.  on  Dec. 
24,  1789,  owning  lot  #  250,  and  on  Feb.  13,  1797  he  buys 
from  Joseph  Younglove  of  Cambridge,  N.  Y.  a  tract  of 
1421/^  acres,  lot  #2  of  the  Ryer  Schermerhorn  Tract,  Survey 
of  1762,  later  known  as  #1  in  the  AViaquashicoke  Patent; 
bounds  east  on  the  Battenkill  and  extends  to  the  present 
Route  #22.  A  large  rock  in  the  river,  from  which  he  used 
to  fish,  is  still  called  Asa's  Rock.  He  appears  in  the  census 
of  1800,  1810,  and  1820,  and  acquired  more  land  in  the 
vicinity.  Even  before  his  death  his  sons  Frederick  and  Rufus 
paid  the  taxes  on  the  property  which  in  1825  amounted  to 
246  acres. 

But  the  sons  do  not  seem  to  have  prospered,  there  are  mort- 
gages *  and  sales  and  the  matter  of  a  suit  brought  against 
them  in  1836  by  Abram  C.  Lansing.  Before  long  the  family 
scattered,  the  three  sons  removing  to  Michigan.

unrecorded  deaths;  only  2  daughters  are  given 
later.  In  1840  Azuba  and  her  two  children, 
Elizabeth  and  Lucy,  are  mentioned  in  the  will

"Pen  Pictures  of  the  Central  Part  of  the  city  of  Quincy  as 
it  was  when  Douglas  and  Lincoln  met  in  Debate"  has  "Over 
the  Hoffman  store    (now   at  417   Hampshire   Street)    Dr. 
Samuel  W.  Rogers  had  his  residence  and  it  was  here  that 
Douglas  was  entertained  at  dinner  among  congenial  friends, 
on  that  13th  day  of  October    (1858)    ...  Next  came  the 
Hiram  Rogers  drug  store,  where  Douglas  passed  some  of 
his  time  and  met  some  of  his  friends  and  admirers  on  that 
day".  The  postage  stamp  issued  in  August  1958  by  the  U.  S.

158  SAMUEL^  WHEAT  {Samuel',  Dr.  Samuel\  Dr.  Samuel', 
Joshua^,  Moses^) ,  born  Dec.  5,  1775  at  Bernardstown, 
Mass.;  drowned  in  the  Hudson  River,  Sept.  29,  1827. 
married  Dec.  22,  1805,  Martha  Eliza  Thaxter,  born  May 
12,  1792;  died  in  Scipio,  Cayuga  Co.,  N.  Y.  on  Mar.  17, 
1870;  buried  in  Stewart's  Corner  cemetery,  Venice,  Cayu- 
ga Co. 

He  obtained  work  on  the  Erie  Canal,  and  operated  a  canal 
boat;  the  family  lived  in  or  near  Albany,  and  after  his 
death,  his  widow  and  her  eight  children  moved  to  Venice, 
where  others  of  the  family  lived. 

Children  of  Samuel  and  Martha  Eliza  (Thaxter)  Wheat: 

477  +      i  MARTHA^  born  Sept.  9,  1807;   died  Sept.  10,

It  seems  probable  that  this  child  died  May  4, 
1814,  recorded  in  Bible  with  the  family  of 
Samuel.  Her  uncle,  Calvin  Wheat's  monument 
in  Stewart's  Corner  cemetery  has  —  Almon

people,  with  varying  dates.  If  a  Bible  record  is  available, 
those  dates  are  usually  considered  more  authentic.

Phelps,  N.  Y.  (Bible) ;  died  after  1862.  Little  is 
known  about  him.  He  wrote  a  "History  of  the 
Wheat  Family",  widely  distributed  among  des- 
cendants of  Benjamin  jr.  in  Indiana,  but  un- 
fortunately it  is  full  of  errors.  He  repeats  the 
fable  of  the  three  brothers  who  came  from 
England  —  Samuel,  Salmon  and  Solomon,  but 
leaves  out  his  own  ancestor,  Benjamin.  These 
four  brothers  were  of  course  of  the  4th  genera- 
tion in  this  country.

born  A'pr.  1780  at  "Bean  Hill",  near  Norwich,  Conn.;  died 
suddenly  while  out  walking  near  his  home  at  Canterbury

married  at  Rome,  Dec.  1803,  Lucy  Butts,  born  1787;  died 
Feb.  1861,  daughter  of  John  Butts. 

The  youngest  of  ten  children,  he  was  orphaned  when  very 
young,  and  at  seven  years  was  apprenticed  to  Capt.  Lovett 
of  Lisbon  (Conn.?)  who  did  no  more  for  the  boy  than  the 
law  required.  When  he  came  of  age  he  returned  to  Norwich 
and  soon  after  was  persuaded  by  Col.  D.  W.  Knight  to  em- 
igrate to  Rome  where  many  others  from  Norwich  had  al- 
ready gone.  So  in  1801  with  $3.00,  a  gun  and  a  pack  on  his 

118 


back  he  made  the  journey  on  foot,  seeing  Indians  and  wild 
animals  west  of  Albany.  He  cleared  land  for  Col.  Knight, 
returning  to  Norwich  in  the  autumn  of  1802  and  carrying 
letters  from  the  settlers  to  their  relatives  in  Connecticut;  one 
was  to  John  Butts,  and  when  it  came  spring,  he  and  his 
family,  with  Grant,  set  out  for  Rome. 

In  December  1803,  he  and  Lucy  were  married  and  lived 
happily  for  fifty-eight  years.  He  was  a  soldier  in  the  War 
of  1812  and  marched  to  Sacketts  Harbor,  but  was  taken 
sick  and  was  discharged. 

Dec.  7,  1806.  He  bought  land  in  Rome  from  Benjamin 
Hastings  and  wife  Mehitable  of  Suffolk  Co.,  N.  Y.  (Oneida 
Co.,  LR,  book  14,  p.  395).  On  Oct.  7,  1856,  Grant  Wheat 
and  wife  Lucy,  with  Benjamin  Wheat  and  wife  Almira  (his 
eldest  son),  all  of  Rome,  deed  land  in  Rome  to  the  Wright 
Settlement  cemetery.  (Same,  book  199,  p.  295). 
Two  weeks  after  his  eighty-first  birthday  he  fell  dead  in  the 
street  near  his  home,  his  only  other  illness  having  been 
when  he  was  a  soldier.

July  2,  1879,  Enos  Blizzard.  In  1921  she  wrote 
that  she  had  had  the  Wheat  cradle  blanket  and 
had  just  given  it  to  the  wife  of  her  (half)  bro- 
ther John.  The  tradition  is  that  a  King  of 
France  offered  a  prize  to  the  one  raising  the 
best  crop  of  wheat;  a  man  named  Samuel  was 
the  winner,  the  King  gave  him  the  name  Wheat 
and  an  embroidered  cradle  blanket  which  was 
to  descend  from  generation  to  generation  to  the 
son  named  Samuel.  As  this  must  have  happened 
well  before  the  Wheat  family  as  we  know  it  be- 
came English,  one  can  only  marvel  at  the  dura- 
bility of  the  material!

awful  lonesome  for  the  last  week  . . .  They  have 
the  most  students  here  now  that  they  ever  had 
at  any  one  time  in  the  world.  I  attended  church 
twice  last  Sunday  and  this  morning  and  I  sup- 
pose there  were  about  three  thousand  there  . . . 
There  is  one  hundred  and  twenty  five  in  their 
choir  with  two  violins,  one  bass  viol,  claronett 
flute  and  melodrium  .  .  .  Every  night  at  six 
O'clock  all  the  students  are  required  to  attend 
prayer  meeting  and  it  is  a  sight  worth  seeing 
to  see  them  all  marching  from  the  hall  about 
nine  hundred  or  more,  and  in  church  it  almost 
makes  you  dizzy  to  look  across  the  church  to 
see  so  many  bonnets  trimmed  with  so  many 
differently  colored  ribbons  and  fans  agoing  all 
the  time.  It  made  my  eyes  ache  this  morning."

kins  PettingiU,  born  at  Newbury  Apr.  19,  1812;  died  July 
27,  1903,  daughter  of  Moses  and  Mary  (Perkins)  Pettin- 
gill  of  Newburyport,  Mass.  The  Lowell,  Mass.  VR  give  the 
marriage  intentions  of  A'bijah  of  Lowell  and  Priscilla  of 
Newburyport  as  Aug.  26,  1832. 

He  was  a  Baptist  minister  and  physician,  spoke  French  and 
German  fluently  and  knew  Latin,  Greek  and  Hebrew, 
though  he  had  little  schooling.  As  a  lad  in  Essex,  Conn,  he 
learned  French  from  a  tailor  in  exchange  for  English,  and 
when  the  tailor  moved  to  French  Canada,  Abijah  went 
with  him,  and  later  preached  to  French  Canadians  in  their 
own  tongue. 

In  1835  he  was  in  Glastonbury,  and  soon  after  was  in 
charge  of  a  Methodist  church  there;  in  July  1838  he  was 
in  Willimantic,  then  pastor  of  Baptist  churches  in  Clinton 
and  in  Branford,  Conn.  In  November  1848  he  was  called 
to  the  North  Baptist  Church  in  New  York  City.  While  there 
an  epidemic  of  cholera  occurred,  and  on  account  of  over- 
work in  caring  for  the  sick  during  a  very  hot  summer,  he 
broke  down  and  was  forced  to  take  a  vacation.  On  his  re- 
turn he  resigned  and  became  pastor  of  the  Second  Baptist 
Church  in  Philadelphia  in  1853.  Being  injured  in  a  rail- 
road accident,  he  spent  several  years  in  Georgia  and 
Alabama  for  his  health,  going  then  to  the  Baptist  Church 
in  New  Britain,  Pa.,  remaining  to  about  the  close  of  the 
Civil  War.  When  party  feeling  in  his  congregation  ordered 
him  not  to  pray  for  the  President  of  the  United  States  he 
resigned  his  charge.  He  organized  a  church  in  Coatesville, 
Pa.  and  was  for  a  short  time  connected  with  churches  in 
Milton,  Watsontown  before  settling  at  Sunbury.  Soon  after 
he  retired  as  a  preacher  and  practiced  medicine  until  1876 
when  he  had  a  stroke  of  paralysis.

Furman  Baldwin,  born  Oct.  22,  1847,  son  of 
Rev.  Norman  B.  and  Caroline  Baldwin.  They 
settled  in  Philadelphia,  where  he  was  a  real 
estate  lawyer;  he  became  a  licensed  Baptist 
preacher,  was  ordained  in  1880  at  Asheville, 
N.  C.  and  was  pastor  of  the  1st  Baptist  Church 
at  Greensboro,  N.  C.  In  1884  they  went  to 
Morocco  as  missionaries  to  the  Mohammedans; 
she  had  studied  at  the  Woman's  Medical  Col- 
lege in  Philadelphia  and  proved  a  valuable  aid 
in  the  Mission.  They  were  not  sent  out  by  any 
organization  but  when  they  reached  England, 
the  North  African  Mission  Society  to  the  Ber- 
bers promised  them  a  house  but  no  further 
support.  They  had  with  them  their  nine  child- 
ren and  an  adopted  daughter,  "Mamie"  Dyson. 
In  1889  on  account  of  overwork  and  illness, 
Mr.  Baldwin  resigned,  took  the  four  younger 
children  and  settled  in  Jerusalem,  Palestine; 
in  1921  he  and  the  daughter  Anita  were  still 
there.  In  1890  Mrs.  Baldwin  wrote  a  tragic 
letter  to  her  sister:  "I  cant  remember,  but  sup- 
pose I  told  you  I  was  going  to  the  Woman's 
College  this  year"  —  she  was  back  in  Philadel- 
phia —  "trying  to  drown  my  heartache  in  study 
but  tis  uphill  work.  And  doctor  told  me  this 
morning  I   was  far  more  fit  for  the  Hospital 


216 


than  the  college.  We  have  sixteen  lectures  a 
week  besides  all  other  work  which  will  increase 
from  week  to  week  but  I  thought  this  was  the 
best  use  I  could  put  Uncle  C's  money  to.  It 
will  about  consume  it  by  the  time  the  year  is 
finished  and  if  Ned's  poisin  (sic)  ladened  let- 
ters dont  stop  I  may  have  to  give  up  the  attempt 
here".  In  1900  she  went  to  South  Africa;  in 
1904  she  spent  five  months  in  Jerusalem  in 
charge  of  the  Shemlin  Training  School  for 
Syrian  girls,  in  the  Lebanon  mountains,  and 
under  the  British  Syrian  Mission.  After  a  few 
years  there  she  returned  to  the  mission  in 
Africa,  working  there  until  1917  when  she 
retired. 

"Uncle  C's  money",  to  which  she  refers,  was  a 
legacy  of  $500.  left  her  by  her  father's  brother, 
Cornelius  Richardson  Wheat.

He  was  a  painter  and  decorator  and  lived  in  Oberlin,  Ohio 
after  leaving  Vermont.  His  daughter,  Marrietta  Wheat 
Danforth  in  1896  wrote  to  Silas  C.  Wheat  of  the  move  to 
Ohio.  "William  Wheat  started  from  St.  Albans,  Vt.  with 
two  spans  of  horses  and  double  wagons  early  in  the  spring 
of  1834  with  my  two  brothers  and  uncle  Otis  Wheat  and 
two  other  men  to  come  to  Cleveland,  Ohio,  but  leaving  his 
family  to  come  later  by  other  conveyance.  They  were  over 
three  weeks  getting  to  Cleveland.  The  cholera  raged  there 
all  that  summer,  which  delayed  the  family  until  fall.  The 
picture  is  as  clear  before  my  eyes  as  if  but  yesterday.  I 
wasn't  twelve  for  I  came  for  half  fare. 

The  first  of  October  we  started ;  the  grand  old  hills  around 
St.  Albans  were  white  with  snow.  All  were  seated  in  a  dou- 
ble wagon  with  not  very  limber  springs  for  the  ride  of 

257 


three  miles  to  the  bay  —  then  by  steamboat  to  Whitehall 
having  a  very  boisterous  passage.  From  there  to  Buffalo  by 
canal  boat  in  four  or  five  days.  Then  another  steamboat  — 
the  Erie  —  heavily  laden  and  a  rough  sea.  We  nearly  perish- 
ed and  I  need  not  say  how  glad  we  were  to  set  foot  on 
terrafirma  once  more.  Cleveland  was  a  place  of  six  thou- 
sand inhabitants.  There  were  no  fine  viaducts  across  the 
river  —  only  a  floating  bridge  lay  on  the  water.  There 
were  only  three  churches.  .  .  "

FRANCIS  WHEAT  OF  MARYLAND  AND  DESCENDANTS 

1  FRANCIS^  WHEAT  was  born  probably  between  1690  and 
1705  in  England.  Little  has  as  yet  been  discovered  about 
him,  his  ancestry  in  England,  where  and  when  he  was  bom, 
or  when  he  was  married  and  to  whom.  Descendants  believe 
that  he  came  from  England  in  1724. 

It  is  known,  however,  that  in  1752  he  leased  from  Benedict 
Calvert  a  tract  of  land  in  Prince  George  County,  Maryland, 
for  the  term  of  his  natural  life  and  the  lives  of  his  sons,  John 
and  Francis  jr.  The  land  was  in  that  part  of  the  county  that 
later  became  the  District  of  Columbia;  he  named  his  home- 
stead Cool  Spring  Plantation,  now  the  site  of  the  Navy  Yard 
in  Washington. 

In  1753  he  leased  to  his  son  John  100  acres  of  the  plantation 
and  in  1769  another  100  acres  to  his  son  Francis  jr.  Whether 
there  were  more  children  is  not  known.

him  in  1753  by  his  father.  In  the  1790  census  he  had  3  males 
over  16,  3  under  16,  4  females  and  2  slaves.

cles of  Border  Warfare,"  p.  225,  says  that  during  the  siege 
of  Fort  Henry  (Wheeling)  in  Sept.  1782,  30  men  and  several 
women  defended  the  fort  against  Indians  led  by  Simon 
Gerty.  Betsy  Wheat  did  good  service  in  loading  guns  and  in 
firing  at  Indians;  married  2)  Mrs.  . . .  Shriock,  and  3)  Mary 
Custer,  "ae  25-30  years,  when  he  was  past  his  80th  year".

tion, Washington.  Married  Dec.  3,  1801,  Mary  Noland;  they 
are  both  buried  in  the  Congressional  Cemetery,  Washington. 
In  1793  the  Commissioners  of  the  city  of  Washington  sold 
to  James  Greenleaf  3000  public  lots  in  the  newly-plotted 
Capital  for  25  pounds  for  each  lot;  he  agreed  to  build  ten 
houses  each  year,  thinking  that  when  the  Government  was 
established  there  in  1800  there  would  be  a  great  rush  to  set- 
tle in  the  new  city.  A  syndicate  was  formed,  controlling 
over  7200  lots,  and  a  row  of  houses  was  built  on  4th  Street 
SW.  the  first  row  in  Washington.  It  was  long  known  as 
Wheat  Row  from  John  Wheat  who  bought  and  occupied 
the  north  house,  the  original  tenants  of  the  others  being 
Judge  Cranch,  Capt.  Duncanson,  and  Samuel  Eliot.  The 
houses  are  now  numbered  1315  to  1319  Fourth  St.  SW 
(from  an  article  "Wheat  Row,  the  Oldest  Row  of  Buildings 
in  Washington",  in  the  Washington  Times,  Dec.  6,  1903). 
Three  of  the  houses  were  owned  and  occupied  later  by  the 
Barney  Neighborhood  House. 

Children  of  John  jr.  and  Mary   (Noland)   Wheat:

Much  of  the  information  on  this  group  was  evidently  ob- 
tained by  Mr.  S.  C.  Wheat  in  1896  and  it  is  unfortunate 
that  efforts  to  get  further  and  detailed  information  from

ried Mar.  10,  1825,  Selena  Blair  Patten,  born  Sept.  12,  1805 
(For  her,  see  Americans  of  Royal  Descent,  1883,  p.  162). 
They  are  both  buried  in  Salisbury  (statement  by  a  daugh- 
ter) though  the  Patten  Genealogy,  1908,  says  they  spent 
their  last  years  in  Chapel  Hill  and  are  buried  there. 
He  was  an  Episcopal  clergyman,  Knight  Templar,  Knight  of 
the  Red  Cross,  Knight  of  Maha,  and  32nd  degree  F.&.A.M. 
His  daughter  says  he  was  the  first  white  child  bom  in  Wash- 
ington after  the  city  became  the  seat  of  government  for  the 
United  States.  He  studied  for  the  ministry  under  Rev.  Dr. 
Wilmer  at  Alexandria,  and  at  the  same  time  opened  a  suc- 
cessful private  school.  In  1825  he  was  admitted  to  Christ 
Church  by  Bishop  Moore,  and  in  1826  made  a  presbyter  by 
Bishop  Kemper  at  St.  Paul's,  Baltimore.  In  1827  he  became 
rector  of  a  church  in  Wheeling;  1835-'38,  rector  of  St.  Paul's, 
New  Orleans;  1839-'49  at  Nashville;  1849  to  '60  Professor 
of  Rhetoric  at  the  University  of  North  Carolina,  Chapel  Hill; 
1860-'67  at  Little  Rock,  Arkansas;  1867-73  rector  of  St. 
Lazarus,  Memphis,  Tenn.  He  wrote  "Preparation  for  the 
Holy  Communion",  was  often  delegate  to  the  General  Con- 
vention of  the  Episcopal  Church,  and  the  University  of 
Nashville  conferred  on  him  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity 
in  1846. 

A  nephew,  Stanley  H.  Wheat  wrote  in  1922  that  his  uncle 
had  written  to  them  for  a  parchment  showing  a  land  grant 
of  Chinkapin  Hundred,  Battle  Old  Field,  Maryland  and  giv- 
ing a  brief  history  of  the  Wheat  family  for  230  years,  but  the 
document  could  not  be  found.

1874  at  Wheeling,  West  Va. ;  married  at  Wheeling,  Elizabeth 
Johnson  Dorsey,  daughter  of  Ely  Dorsey  of  Bloomsburg,  Md. 
His  boyhood  was  spent  on  the  homestead  in  the  Navy  Yard; 
he  studied  law  at  Annapolis  under  Judge  Murray  and  was 
admitted  to  the  bar  before  the  autumn  of  1830,  living  mean- 
while in  the  Judge's  family.  While  there.  General  Lafayette 
came  to  this  country  and  was  entertained  by  the  Judge,  in 
1824  or  '25,  and  James  was  introduced  to  him. 
In  the  summer  of  1830  he  set  out  to  join  his  brother  Samuel 
at  St.  Louis,  who  was  a  trader  with  Santa  Fe,  New  Mexico 
but  when  he  reached  Wheeling  he  found  the  river  closed  by 
ice,  and  while  waiting  for  Spring  he  was  appointed  Town 
Clerk  and  was  practicing  law.  He  did  not  continue  the 
journey  to  St.  Louis  but  became  a  prominent  figure  and 
maker  of  history  in  Wheeling  and  western  Virginia. 
In  1861  he  was  Adjt.  General  and  on  July  8,  President 
Lincoln  wrote  from  the  Executive  Mansion  to  the  "Hon. 
Sec.  of  War,  My  Dear  Sir.  Please  lose  no  time  in  giving  an 
interview  to  Adjt.  Genl.  Wheat  of  Western  Virginia  and 
furnishing  him,  if  possible,  with  what  arms,  equipage  etc.  etc. 
he  needs.  This  is  very  important  and  should  not  be  neglect- 
ed or  delayed.  Yours  truly  A.  Lincoln.

northern  army  in  June  1862,  was  taken  ill  near  Quantico 
Creek,  and  after  lying  on  the  ground  all  night,  was  taken  to 
Dr.  Wheat's  yard  by  some  of  his  comrades.  They  were  about 
to  move  out  but  Craig  was  too  sick  to  be  moved,  the  Doctor 
examined  him  and  invited  him  to  remain  there  until  recover- 
ed, living  in  the  house  with  the  family,  and  when  he  could 
travel  the  Doctor  gave  him  a  remaining  old  horse  and  him- 
self guided  Craig  by  roads  where  he  would  be  least  apt  to 
fall  into  Confederate  hands.  Craig  never  forgot  this  kindness 
by  Dr.  Wheat  and  his  wife,  and  had  made  attempts  to  get  in 
touch  with  them  after  the  war,  but  was  told  they  had  moved 
away.

86  CHATHAM  ROBERDEAU^  WHEAT  {Rev.  John  Thomas'', 
Thomas^,  John^,  Francis'),  born  Apr.  9,  1826,  Alexandria, 
Va.;  killed  in  the  Battle  of  Gaines  Mills,  June  27,  1862. 
"Major  Bob  Wheat",  soldier,  knight  errant,  filibuster.  In 
1845  he  was  a  law  student  in  Memphis,  Tenn.  but  when  the 
call  came  for  volunteers  for  the  Mexican  War  he  was  the 
first  in  Memphis  to  enlist. 

His  sister,  Mrs.  Shober,  wrote  as  follows  on  May  20,  1896: 
"The  eldest  son  of  Rev.  John  Thomas  and  Selena  Blair  (Pat- 
ten) Wheat  whose  life  was  most  eventful  and  romantic.  En- 
tering the  army  at  nineteen  he  fought  gallantly  £J1  through 
the  war  with  Mexico.  After  that  war  was  ended  he  remained 
in  Mexico,  giving  his  services  to  the  Liberals,  entering  the 
city  of  Mexico  with  two  victorious  armies  —  first  with  Gen. 
Scott,  afterward  with  Alverary. 

While  still  in  Mexico  he  heard  that  Walker,  his  old  friend 
and  classmate,  was  in  dangerous  condition  in  Central  Amer- 
ica. He  organized  a  relief  force  and  went  to  the  rescue,  but 
was  captured  by  the  English  and  failed  in  the  attempt.  He 
then  went  with  Lopez  in  the  first  expedition  against  Cuba. 

The  expedition  failed,  and  they  escaped  with  great  difficulty. 
He  then  went  to  Italy  and  there  gave  his  services  to  Gari- 
baldi. In  this  war  he  was  called  the  "Murat  of  AYnerica"  on 
account  of  his  perfect  fearlessness  on  the  field  of  battle.  Last 
of  all  he  gave  his  best  and  bravest  service  to  the  Confederate 
army  and  after  11  months  of  unusual  gallantry  he  laid  down 
his  life  at  Gains  Mill,  June  27,  1862". 

His  monument  in  Hollywood  cemetery,  Richmond,  bears  this 
inscription:  "Chatham  Roberdeau  Wheat,  son  of  Rev.  J.  T. 
and  Selena  Patten  Wheat  bom  Alexandria  Virginia  April  9, 
1826;  Soldier  of  Freedom;  Col.  in  U.  S.  Army  in  Mexico 
under  Gen.  Scott,  1847;  Commissioned  Col.  by  Junta  in 
Cuban  War  with  Spain;  Champion  of  Italian  Liberty  and 
General  under  Garibaldi;  Member  of  Bar  &  Legislature  of

He  was  an  eminent  physician  of  Virginia  and  lived  in  Rich- 
mond. He  began  the  study  of  medicine  under  his  father, 
but  the  Civil  War  began,  ruining  their  home  and  plantation, 
and  finally  the  father  gave  up  his  practice  and  removed  to 
San  Francisco.  After  a  time  John  took  up  his  medical  studies 
again  and  in  1877  graduated  from  the  Virginia  Medical 
College  in  Richmond,  and  was  appointed  Resident  Physician 
at  the  Penal  Hospital.  He  carried  on  a  private  practice  and 
became  Medical  Superintendent  of  the  Retreat  for  the  Sick, 
was  on  the  faculty  of  the  Medical  College  of  Virginia;  mem- 
ber of  the  Richmond  Academy  of  Medicine  and  Surgery,  and

UNPLACED      FAMILIES 

In  Vol  I  Mr.  Wheat  has  included  THOMAS  WHEAT  (1816-1867)

sons,  one  of  whom  went  to  New  Zealand,  another  to  California,  the 
others  remaining  in  the  middle  west.  Some  of  the  stray  Wheats  may 
belong  among  his  descendants. 

Among  the  Unplaced  Families  in  the  South,  the  almost  complete 
lack  of  dates  makes  it  difficult  or  impossible  to  place  the  members 
with  any  degree  of  confidence.

APPENDIX     A 

JERUSHA  ALLEN  (174-6-1825),  wife  of  SMIUEL  WHEAT  of 
the  fifth  generation  in  this  country,  lies  beside  her  husband  in  a 
quiet,  overgrown  burying  ground  in  Cayuga  County,  New  York. 
Her  husband  had  been  a  soldier  in  the  Revolution,  and  they  and 
their  growing  family  of  ten  children  had  during  the  years  migrated 
gradually  from  eastern  Massachusetts  into  central  New  York,  where 
both  died  and  are  buried.  Jerusha  probably  lived  the  life  of  her 
time  and  station,  and  until  about  twenty  years  ago  her  present-day 
descendants  in  the  vicinity  knew  little  or  nothing  about  her,  certainly 
nothing  of  her  amazingly  distinguished  ancestry.  One  wonders 
whether  she  had  the  faintest  knowledge  of  it  herself;  she  probably 
knew  a  few  generations  back,  in  this  country,  but  very  likely  nothing 
of  her  ancestors  abroad. 

Her  father,  Dr.  John  Allen  (1718-1758)  of  Newton,  Massachu- 
setts, was  son  of  John  Allen,  a  Boston  merchant  whose  parentage 
has  proved  baffling  but  whose  wife  was  daughter  of  the  third  Dr. 
John  Clarke,  graduate  of  Harvard  in  1687,  Speaker  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts House,  and  grandson  of  an  earlier  John  who  was  the  first 
of  a  line  of  seven  generations  of  Dr.  John  Clarkes;  he  performed 
the  first  trepanning  oi>eration  in  this  country,  and  his  portrait,  hold- 
ing a  skull  and  instrument  is  now  owned  by  the  Massachusetts  Med- 
ical Association  in  Boston;  he  died  in  1664.  The  wives  of  these 
three  John  Clarkes  belonged  to  Boston  families  —  Shrimpton,  Oliver, 
Newdigate,  Saltonstall  and  Bulkeley.  On  her  mother's  side  Jerusha 
had  Cooks,  Flaggs,  Ripleys,  Hobarts,  and  Bradfords,  her  great-grand- 
mother being  Hannah  Bradford,  granddaughter  of  Governor  William 
Bradford  of  Plymouth. 

On  the  other  side  of  the  Atlantic  Jerusha's  ancestors  are  traced 
through  Charltons  and  Grosvenors  to  Elena  de  Quincy,  granddaugh- 
ter of  Saher  de  Quincy,  Earl  of  Winchester  and  Magna  Carta  Baron; 
to  William  de  Longespee,  Earl  of  Salisbury  and  natural  son  of  King 
Henry  H,  whose  parents  were  Geoffrey  Plantagenet,  Count  of  Anjou 
and  Queen  Matilda  of  England;  to  William  the  Conqueror;  to  Alan, 
Lord  of  Galloway,  whose  wife  was  daughter  of  Reginald,  Lord  of 
the  Isles;  to  Ethelred  the  Unready,  King  of  England,  who  married 
Emma,  daughter  of  Richard  the  Fearless,  duke  of  the  Normans. 
Ethelred   and   Emma  were  parents  of  Edward  the  Confessor,   and 

374 


after  Ethelred's  death  she  married  Canute,  King  of  Norway  and 
Denmark,  and  later  of  England.  Other  ancestors  in  Britain  were  Al- 
fred the  Great,  Kenneth  MacAlpin  of  Scotland;  Fergus  I;  Ungust, 
King  of  the  Picts,  and  Cerdic,  King  of  Wessex. 

On  the  Continent  the  ancestry  is  no  less  spectacular,  including 
the  Capetian  Kings  of  France;  and  to  Pepin  d'Heristal  through  his 
son,  Charles  Martel  to  Charlemagne ;  to  Henry  I  whose  wife  was  Anne 
of  Kiev,  descendant  of  Ruric,  Grand  Duke  of  Novgorod  and  Kiev;  to 
Baldwin,  Count  of  Flanders;  to  Olave  III,  first  Christian  King  of 
Sweden;  Henry  I  of  Germany;  the  Italian  Dukes  of  Spoleto;  Dukes 
of  Burgundy;  to  St.  Olaf  of  Norway;  to  Kings  of  Jutland  —  Den- 
mark and  Norway;  and  many  noble  families  of  France.  One  could 
go  on  indefinitely.  And  all  this  belonged  to  Jerusha  Allen  Wheat  of 
Venice,  New  York.  What  would  she  have  thought? 

There  are  many  sources  for  this  information  by  students  of 
medieval  genealogy,  and  a  few  are:

APPENDIX     B 

In  1921  Lewis  McLellan  Wheat  (1084)  instigated  a  suit  to  set- 
tle the  estate  of  his  uncle,  Samuel  Wheat  (478)  of  Scipio,  New  York, 
who  had  died  childless  and  intestate  on  Feb.  7,  1879,  leaving  a  widow, 
Martha  M.  Wheat  (who  had  recently  died,  in  1920),  brothers  Hiram 
V.  and  William  H.  Wheat,  and  the  heirs  of  his  brother,  John  A. 
Wheat,  and  sisters  Martha  Gibbons,  Harriet  Aikin,  and  Elizabeth 
Williamson,  deceased. 

The  document  sent  to  the  heirs  in  1921  lists  57  persons  in  ad- 
dition to  several  wives  who  are  named,  and  it  has  been  of  the  great- 
est help  in  identifying  the  members  of  this  large  family.

INDEX 

This  index  includes  all  names  appearing  in  the  book,  except 
military  officers  under  whom  service  was  given,  and  business  firms. 
The  wives  of  Wheat  men  are  given  under  both  maiden  and  married 
name. 

The  date  of  birth  of  those  named  Wheat  or  Wheet,  where  known, 
is  given  in  (  )  but  if  the  date  is  uncertain  or  is  of  baptism  merely, 
it  appears  as  (      )  ?. 

Each  descendant  of  Moses  Wheat  and  of  Francis  Wheat  has  its 
individual  number,  but  the  figures  in  the  index  refer  to  the  page  on 
which  the  name  appears.  Names  on  pages  346-370  are  descendants  of 
Francis  Wheat  of  Maryland.
