  1. I'm interested in Calvin Silas Wheeler, born in Tamworth, Ontario in 1852, and his family. I am interested in another Tamworth family, the children of Samuel York. His son, William Edmund, married Emma Adeline Wheeler in Bellwoods, NY Jan. 10, 1900. I wonder if there was a Wheeler connection in Tamworth that led to William meeting a New York Wheeler. Pretty common name, but I'd like to check it out. Do you have a Wheeler family tree showing the Tamworth branch? Thanks. Margaret

  2. I have very little on Calvin Silas Wheeler son of Luke Wheeler & Abigail Ruth Carscallen in my PAF, however I could dig deeper. I have some Tamworth censuses and books to dig deeper with it.
    As for the York's. I believe there is quite a connection that goes back just can't place it right now without looking.
    Without digging I can tell you right off my line of Wheeler's went into NY from Tamowrth and we can talk more via email on that. My email is in the top right of the blog. Please contact me!
