Per Barbara Sook's in Emily Gastley (*Mary Ann Gastley) records she saw a document that stated she was the widow of Thomas Hamilton Wheeler.
Her grandfather, John George Wheeler had a Uncle named Jake (Jacob) who was a brother to his father. She also mentioned a William F. Wheeler. I traced this gentleman and it appears that he and his brother Thomas were the sons of Richard Wheeler of Franklin County GA - these gentlemen are not our line as I can tell. Thomas is living with his father in the 1860 census and William F. is next door. Our Thomas was married in 1860 to Emily Gastley (*Mary Ann Gastely).
John George Wheeler always stated that he was 13 months old when his father died. That would mean that Thomas H. Wheeler died in November 1862.

Granny, Ella Ree Stover, told the story of her Grandfather Wheeler promising to leave her mother, Mary Elizabeth Wheeler Stover a farm when he died. He told her if she left her first husband, Charles Miles, that he would provide a farm for her. When he died he left all of his boys farms and didn't leave the girls anything at all. Uncle Red, Joseph Chastain Stover, personally went there to read the will, he was sure there was some mistake but the will did leave her out completely.
Also, I was told by Granny that when George Wheeler died he had no cash money and no one could locate it. The family thought he had alot of money and he was known for buring his money in jars around his property. Granny was in New Orleans and went to see a fortune teller a few months after his death. Of course she didn't believe in them and was just having fun with a Army friend. The fortune teller told her that she had just lost a family member and that his money was missing. She then proceeded to tell Granny where to find it. I ask Granny if she ever went to look for it and she said NO WAY!! That the lady scared her to death and she would not dare go look.
