That's right...I'm related thru Rebecca's father or the Wheeler's.
James' parents were William W. Wheeler and M. Jane Phillips.
James is listed with them (and all but one of his brothers and sisters) in the 1900 census
for Emerson, Ga. in Bartow Co.
W.W. Wheeler was born July 1852 in Emerson and died between 1900 and 1920 most likely
there in Emerson.
M. Jane Phillips was born in about July of 1861 and died after March 1891 and before 1900
most certainly in Emerson as well. James A.'s parents were married in Bartow Co., Ga.
April 18, 1878 at the brides father's house.
I have James A. Wheeler's death certificate, obituary and a photo of his grave marker
in case you do not. Let me know and I can send these to you here or in an e-mail.
I am very interested in any and all of the stories that you would be willing to share!
James and his family lived in Etowah, Tn. from about 1912 till they died. His sister
Jennie Mae Wheeler Barnes (my g-grandmother) lived there too and they stayed in close
contact with each other. My dad remembers a little about James and told me a story or two
that I'll look up and share with you as well. Thanks for sharing!!
