Biography
'Captain Thomas 1 Wheeler's wife was Ruth Wood, daughter of William Wood, but I have found no record of her birth or death, nor of their marriage. [William Wood's will names son Michael and grand daughter Abigail Hosmer, wife of Thomas Wheeler - RRW] Their children were:

2802 I Thomas 2 d. 16 Feb. 1676/ 7 [He died of wounds from the Brookfield fight that led to the death of his father. Brainard puts his birth at “before 1652” and his death at 9 Jan. 1676/ 7 – JCW.]

[Brainard includes a Ruth, born “about 1652”, dying 7 May 1673 and married to Ephraim Jones. Births, Marriages and Deaths has “Ephram Jones” marrying “Reuth Wheeler” on 7 May 1673. It has him dying 23 Jan 1676 but includes no date for Ruth's death. An RRW note suggests that Ruth subsequently married Thomas Brown and then Jonathan Prescott. Births, marriages and deaths, p. 20, has a Capt. Jonathan Prescott marrying Ruth Brown 18 Aug. 1718 – JCW]
