John Wheeler was baptized on 4 Nov 1591. (1)  As explained on Wikitree, John may have been the third son named John born to Dominicke Wheeler. (2) John married Agnes Yeoman in Salisbury on 01 Dec 1611. (3) They had twelve children.  John Wheeler was listed as a barber in the baptismal records of his children Anna, Elizabeth and Ann.
John and his wife and most of his children emigrated to the Colonies around 1635.  Their last son, Henry Wheeler, was baptized in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England on 8 Feb 1635.  Their sons; Edward, 26, John 24, and Adam 22, apparently stayed behind. The first known record of him is a Salisbury, Essex, MA town record dated 7 Nov 1639 of a grant of a houselot to William Hooke which refers to the land as abutting John Wheeler's lot on the south. (4) He wrote his will on 28 Mar 1688 naming 11 of his 12 children. (5)
