  • Notes: 

  • Some sources claim Sarah Wheeler was born 11 NOV 1686, daughter of John Wheeler and Sarah Stearns. However there are two Sarah Wheelers that sources both claim are the one born on 11 NOV 1686. One married Zachariah Maynard, and the other Samuel Merriam. The births of the children from both marriages overlap so they cannot both be the same Sarah. Which, if any, is the daughter of John Wheeler and Sarah Stearns will need to be determined through further research.
