    Under #5401: David Wheeler, s/o John and Ann Wheeler, who married Sarah Wise: "It is claimed that he also had a daughter, Sarah, who was his first child. It is very probable that she married March 29, 1675, John Spofford". [In fact, it says it was his daughter right in the marriage record of Sarah Wheeler to John Spofford. If she is the oldest child of David and Sarah, she was born before brother John, b. 5 Dec 1653. Given that a marriage in 1675 suggests a birth before 1657 to be of legal age, there is a slight chance she could squeeze between John and Abigail, and be born in a small window in late 1654 to early 1655, but this seems less likely than that she was born in the 3 1/2 year gap between the parent's marriage in 11 May 1650 and John's birth at the end of 1653.]
