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