Notes for Mary WHEATON:

In the Will of John WHEATON dated 20th April 1701 legacies were left to his grandchildren Mary WHEATON, Elizabeth WHEATON and Prissila WHEATON.

There was a marriage in Carlton, Bedfordshire on the 1st December 1734 between Benjamin HARPER, shepherd and Mary WHEATON spinster, both of Carlton. From the records collected so far this could appear to be the only possible Mary.

Notes for Elizabeth UNKNOWN wife of John WHEATON:

We have no proof that Elizabeth is the wife of this John other than the fact that there does not seem to be another John WHEATON in the Stevington parish at this time. If John did marry twice, the three "unattached" entries in the registers would belong to his family, as are all the other forty. Futher research is required to ensure that this is the correct assumption.

There is some confusion contained in the information received. It states:

""John Wheaton's birth - a meeter - but we have no account of it

Was this perhaps a burial rather than a baptism?

Notes for Sarah UNKNOWN wife of son of John WHEATON:
