Revolutionary War Soldier
Ezekiel WHEELER came from New Hampshire in 1790, and settled first at Unadilla Forks. On the death of his wife in 1794, he removed to Guilford and took up 150 acres on the Unadilla, a little south of Latham's Corners. The farm on which he settled has since been retained in the hands of the family, and is now occupied by his grandson, Silas Wheeler. His log cabin stood a little south of the present residence of his grandson, Silas, and in it in 1796 he opened a tavern which was the first in the town. He afterwards kept tavern in the house which took the place of the log one and stood on the site of Silas' present residence, for which it gave way in 1851. His son Ezekiel also kept tavern in the old house, but not till after his father's death, which occurred Oct, 2, 1826, aged 78. He was a noted sportsman and spent most of his time till old age disabled him in hunting and fishing. He married a second time; his last wife, Charity, died Nov. 3, 1835, aged 78. He had four sons and one daughter, Heman, Glazier, Ezekiel, Caleb and Hannah. Heman married a lady named RUGER, of Plattsburgh, Clinton county, and removed thence to Ohio at an early day and died there. Glazier married Lucy, daughter of Wyatt CHAMBERLAYNE, and settled at Mt. Upton, where he died Nov. 27, 1826, aged 47. Ezekiel married Sally, daughter of David DEMMING, and settled and died on the old homestead July 8, 1840, aged 56. His widow is still living there in her 90th year. Caleb married a sister of Heman's wife, and lived and died in Plattsburgh. Hannah married Caleb BATTERSON, who lived in the east part of the town till after her death, when he removed to Unadilla.
Nine of Ezekiel Wheeler's grandchildren are living, Silas; Hannah, wife of Sylvanus CARHART; Amelia and Fanny, both maiden ladies in Guilford; Ezekiel and Caleb BATTERSON in Unadilla; Electa, wife of Alanson NOONING, in Morris; and Francis Wheeler and his sister Charlotte, in Preston. A. H. Wheeler, a merchant at Mt. Upton, is a great-grandson of his. Ezra Wheeler, brother of Silas, was born in 1820, and in 1849, removed to Berlin, Wis., where he practiced law. In 1852 he was elected to the Legislature of that State, which he afterwards represented in the Thirty-eighth Congress, serving on the Committee on District of Columbia. In 1854 he was elected County Judge, and held that office eight years. He died in Colorado of consumption, having visited that Territory in the hope of restoring his health.
