WikiTree: George Wheeler (1605-1687)

In about 1638 George and Elizabeth (Penn) Wheeler emigrated to America with 3 children, settling in Concord. They had 5 more children born in America. He appears to have been a person of some influence, and his name appears often on town records. He was selectman in 1660. His house lot of 11 acres was at the (present) corner of Main and Walden Streets, and in conjunction with Capt. Timothy Wheeler, who was probably his brother or nephew, he owned a large amount of land in the center of the town including the original part of what is now The Colonial Inn in Concord. He also had land near the "frog-ponds" and at Walden Pond, and at Nut Meadow Brook. We are descended from George and Elizabeth through the Wright (Tucker) side.
