    Notes 
    • *
      John Wheeler sailed for America on March 24, 1634 aboard the ship Mary and Johnø with his wife and six children, leaving four of his children in England. His occupation has been reported as a barber. His first year in New England was spent at Ipswch, MA, after which he moved to Salisbury, MA. as one of the original settlers. He held lands there as late as 1666 despite the fact that he moved to Newbury many years before that date. He appears as a witness there in 1651 in the trail of a William Snelling who was fined for cursing as follows, a plague on their heels and a pox on their toesø! He was one of a group of Newbury residents who petitioned the General Court in 1654 for a pardon for one of their townsmen, Robert Pike who had given offence to the court. In a deed of 1666, he is noted as living in Newbury and sold ten acres of land in Salisbury for 30£.

      Interestingly, John Wheeler is an ancestor of four United States presidents, James Garfield and George Bush (through son Henry), Herbert Hoover (through son David) and Gerald Ford (through daughter Ann).

      His will dated March 28, 1668 makes the following bequests:
      to son David - 10£ of debt that he owed to his father
      to son Edward of Salisbury England - 10£
