Wheadons in Newfoundland, Canada
Posted on November 15, 2012 1 Comment
Our family name is Wheadon, though I have seen several variations of the spelling in earlier times. The only records we have seen containing the name are parish records and in one instance a Voter’s List. Of course, during my years of research in genealogy I have come to realize that many names have been spelled whichever way […]
Robert Wheaton in Salem part two

Nothing more is recorded in the Salem records of Robert Wheaton until a town meeting with Mr. Endecott, Mr Conant, Mr Woodbury, John Balch and William Hathorne in attendence.1 Obviously by this time Robert has been accepted as inhabitant otherwise he would not have been granted lands. “At a Town Meeting on the 26th of […]
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. […]

Among other things I monitor the U152 Project for results and we have a new entry into the L2* group and this one is a man who tracks back to a William Dodd 1668 of Dean Prior Devon. You can have a look here This individual has very different markers then our cluster of Wheaton/ […]
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 […]
