    John Wheeler, s/o Thomas Wheeler and Hannah Harrod, m. 25 Apr 1684 Elizabeth Wells. After his death, she m. Marlborough 9 Mar 1725 Daniel Rice.
    [Note: marriage date is wrong. See Concord VR which gives the date as "25.4.84". In 1684 (i.e., before 1753), March was the first month of the year, and so the 4th month was June, not April as it is nowadays.]

    His s. Thomas, whose wife was Hannah, had John, b. in Concord in 1661, who there m Elizabeth Wells, 25. 4. 1684, and perhaps had child b. there, but soon after settled in Marlboro', where he died in 1721. His chil. as recorded in Marlboro', were John, b. in 1695, who settled in Shrewsbury; Martha in 1698; Joseph in 1700; Ephraim in 1702, and also settled here; and Daniel in 1704.

    No mention of wife in will of Daniel Rice, dated 5 May 1729, so she probably had died before that date.
