WHEELER
ch. of Ephraim; bur. 3 Oct 1716
↑ John is named in the probate of his father, so despite his birth being the most likely to match this kind of death record, it does not appear to be him. It could be a twin though no evidence of this is found. Only the last child, Abigail, has an explicit baptism record, so we can only guess. Given that typical spacing (unless a wet-nurse was being used) was two years between children, one would have expected a child born about 1714 and if this death was not John, that would be the most likely child to have died in 1716.
