Robert Wheaton in Salem Part one
Posted on November 4, 2012 Leave a Comment
Why Context matters. When we look at records or individuals in isolation it is easy to be misled. The first record of Robert Wheaton in New England is in 1636 in the Salem town meetings records where it reads. The 16th of the 11th month 1636 (i.e.16 January 1637 on modern calendar) “Robt Wheato refused […]

Okay it’s not Christmas yet, but I do have news for the Wheaton group B folks. The expected results for Jerry’s Walk through the Y is December 26th. Not quite Christmas but close. So hopefully it won’t be rocks and coal in our stockings. Also in Group B news I have some revisions in commonly […]

I’m not sure if or when we will be able to solve the riddle of Robert Wheaton’s origins but that doesn’t stop me from trying. What I believe we have proved is that Robert Wheaton’s ancestry lies in Devon, England. To whit: The oldest document written by Robert’s great-grandson states Robert came from England and […]

I have replaced the maps on my Devon Wheaton webpage with an interactive map which shows the earliest 1300’s Wheatons/Hancocks (point with dots). Those Push pins are DNA results and the other points (without dots) are records as I add them. This is a screen shot: I hope you find it interesting. You can find […]

In my on-going effort to educate (translate= make your heads spin): Taking the 3 Groups for which we have 67 Marker Results I have computed the “weighted averages” to determine how common are our “Haplotypes” for each group (remember Haplotypes are simply a given set of values at each marker as in DYS393=13, DYS390=24, etc. […]

Robert Wheaton “DEVON MAN?”
Posted on October 11, 2012 Leave a Comment
Thanks to Susan and Ben about their comments on Robert’s literacy and for Susan’s comment about Roger le Wheaton being a Devon man. Having never been to Devon or lived there I am at a bit of a disadvantage—-however if this means a stubborn stick-to-it-ness, a principled man. I can see that to this day […]

This from Exeter Memories re Mayors| 1302 Roger Beynim (Roger le Whetene) – a dispute arose between Mayor and people of the city, and […]

Back from a trip to Salt Lake City I will be sharing lots of information in the next few weeks. First off is confirmation that Roger Beyvin and Roger le Whetene are one and the same man. He was an early wine merchant of Exeter and the earliest record located is a court case […]

Just got word today that we are approved for the Walk Through the Y (WTY) with Jerry’s sample. The time frame I was given is 3-4 months and this doesn’t include our request to hold up the sample for the New Plate 3. So let the waiting begin and the hoping that something turns up. […]
