    Ebenezer Wheeler [#265], s/o Ebenezer Wheeler and Rachel Wood, b. Grafton 13 Apr 1741. Served with Rogers on a trip to Canada and never returned. Excerpting the History of Grafton (see here): "While traveling through the woods they were compelled to eat groundnuts and lily roots; and at last, roasted their shoes and powder horns and used them as food. Ebenezer Wheeler, Jr., then eighteen years of age was one of the party and having become so feeble as to be unable to walk, by reason of hunger, he was left by his companions, and died upon a lonely mountain in Vermont, Oct. 24, 1759."
