Children of Alexander Hamilton Wheeler [#994] and Emily H. Wellington: Helen C. Wheeler, b. 9 Nov 1849, m. Belvidere, IL, 8 Feb 1870 Edward B. Plane. [Note: census ages suggest Wheeler may have gotten the birth year and middle initial incorrect, 1848, and "E." being more consistent with these later records. See note. Also, her husband's name was Edwin, not Edward.]

↑ She is named Emily in the census of 1850 with an age of 2 (born 1848). Wheeler names her Helen C. and gives a birth date of 9 Nov 1849. Her marriage in 1870 record gives her name as Nellie E., Nellie being a nickname for Helen, and E. presumably short for Emily, and mistaken for C by Wheeler. In both 1870 and 1880 she is shown born in 1849 with name Nellie and Nellie E.
