Person talk:Joseph Wheeler (34)

birth date [22 April 2011]

I removed the birth date of 13 Mar 1657 in Concord, MA. This birth is not found in Concord Births, and in fact no birth on this date is found. Joseph's father was granted land in Concord in 1669 so probably was in Connecticut still at the time of this birth. Brainard's article says he was probably born in Fairfield, and since he was allowed to administrate the estate of his two brothers in 1677, this suggests he as already of legal age, so born earlier than this date. No source is given so I can't tell where this comes from, but there is so much confusion on the early Wheeler families, we can't trust anything without a source. --Jrich 10:39, 22 April 2011 (EDT)
