Samuel Wheaton Family Story 1836

 

A Tale by Retta Wheaton CAWARD

 

Author: Lori ADAMS

Date 25 Jul 1999 12:00 PM GMT

Surnames: WHEATON, STEWART

 

If you want to know your family tree, this is the tale that was told to me.  About this year 1836, Mr and Mrs Samuel WHEATON came to live on Lent Hill and thus the generations of WHEATONs started to take root.

 

Before this time, Samuel WHEATON lived near Branchport where his first wife died leaving him with 3 small children.  In looking for a mother for these children he rode horseback to Prattsburg, bringing back with him, his bride, Sarah Ann STEWART on the back of his horse.

 

Then Samuel and Sarah Ann came to what was known to us as the WHEATON homestead.  This home was set-back from the road with a row of Maple trees on either side of the drive leading up to the house.  Here they spent the next 42 years of their life, dying one month apart in 1878.

 

There was born to them 11 more children, he named his sons after friends of his like Isaac RAPRALLE, and then added WHEATON.

 

They worked hard growing all their own food, raising flax and weaving it into cloth for bedding, lines and clothes, they carded their own wool and wove it into blankets.

 

Sometimes their suppers were only a kettle of much with milk but they were all fed and clothed.

 

Nine children grew up and he (Samuel) gave each about 30 acres of land.  Six sons settled in the same neighbourhood, which could have been known as the WHEATON District.  Now the home and the trees are gone.  The church grandfather helped to build and where the WHEATONs have worshipped down through the years, is still being used.  Just a few WHEATONs are left on the hill, some are sleeping in the cemetery out by the road, hundreds are scattered here and there, all descendants from these pioneer parents on Lent Hill.

 

"Now if Samual and Sarah Ann were the trunk of the family tree the limbs are people like you and me".

 

So if anyone asks about your tree, tell them that was the tale that was told to me.

 

This was written by Retta Wheaton CAWARD born 1885 and taken from the "WHEATON book" by Merle WHEATON.
