Here's the scoop on Thomas Wheadon and Mary Ann Small of New Haven, CT:

From George W PAGE 8 May 2002

"Thomas Whedon, the grandfather of Hannah Whedon, came to New Haven with John Meigs, who, in 1648, bought the lot on the corner of Chapel and Church Streets, where the Cutler building now stands. Before leaving England Thomas Whedon had been bound to Meigs as an apprentice to learn his art of tanner. He took the oath of fidelity in 1657; married, May 24, 1651, Ann Harvey (sic, SMALL), at New Haven; moved to Branford, and his name appears on the lists of proprietors, January 17, 1676, as having five children, and an estate valued at œ96; he died in 1691, leaving a wife and five children. Their son, Thomas Whedon, Jr., was born May 31, 1663, at New Haven, and died in 1692; his wife, Hannah Barnes, was the eldest daughter of John and Mercy (Betts) Barnes, and was born December 23, 1670." [Smyth, G Hutchinson. "The Life of Henry Bradley Plant" (New York: The Knickerbocker Press, 1898), p. 312]

She was thought to have been Anne Harvey. "HARVEY: Francis Harvey, a Frenchman, desired to marry Ann Small, servant of Mr. Yale, Jan. 1660, but Court approved not ... Ann m. 24 May 1661 NHV (New Haven Vital Records) Thomas Wheaton." [Donald Lines Jacobus, "Families of Ancient New Haven, "1974, p. 722].

From "Wheaton Family" by Earnest Wheaton: Anne Harvey may have been a widow whose maiden name was Ann Small, daughter of Francis Small. New Haven Town Rec pp. 426-27, Dec 1659 - Jan 1659/60: At a Court held at New Haven the 3rd of Jan 1659. Francis Harvey, a Frenchman, upon summons appearing, was told that he was to give answer concerning a treaty of marriage with a maid, carried on as its understood & as they both have confessed, to the engaging of themselves to one another, & without consent of parents of governor, contrary to a law here published, which was read, & they both were told that they had directly broke the law. To which he answered that there was no such law in the places where he hath been, nor did he know that there was any such law here; he was told that excuses him not, and that he must (if he live here) acquaint himself with the Laws established and submit to them. Ann Small was asked what she said to it having hired herself a servant for a year, she should within a month enter a treaty of marriage with a man, without consents of master, contrary to the Law. Ann Small pleaded that she was both ignorant of the Law & the breach of it, & that she intended to serve out her time with her Master; but Mr. Yale, her Master, said that she had within a short time after she came to him, moved to be free; to which it was said that was the fruit of such treaties, that having got a suit of clothes of her master, by and by she would be gone from him & engage herself to a man, without the consent of her mother, who she confessed was living, for ought she knew, to whom it would be a great grief to hear of her irregular proceedings. Mr. Yale informed that the carriage of Ann Small was very burdensome to them, not only in respect of that particular before spoken of, but also she was a notorious liar & unfaithful, concerning which he declared that there lodging a woman of Connecticut at his house, she left a small scarf behind her, which sometime after was inquired for by John Benham; to which Ann Small presently answered that there was none left there; but upon that occasion he asked his maid where she had that scarf which she wore; to which she answered that she had it when she lived with her master Tompson but she did not wear it because she thought it would be trouble to her dame & that she left it with Goodwife Mallery, who since sent it to her by John Wakefield's daughter; whereupon he inquired of Goodwife Wakefield & Goodwife Mallery, growing suspicious of Ann Small, asked him if he brought any children's gloves out of England; he told her, yes; she told him that his maid had given her a pair of kid gloves, which gloves upon inquiry at home he found that she had stolen from him; besides other things are gone, but how he knows not. Ann Small was asked if this that was spoken by her master was true; she said yes; she was told that she had the more cause to be ashamed: she was asked what else she had taken from her master, being other things are wanting; she said that she had nothing else but the gloves...Page 428 Francis Harvey was told that he had broken the law by his irregular proceeding in this treaty of marriage with Ann Small, & thereby he falls under the fine of 40, that must forthwith be paid & that the court had little encouragement to give liberty for him to settle here. Ann Small was also reproved for her impudent & insensibility under such miscarriages, & sentenced to pay 10 as fine for her lying; as for stealing the scarf, she is to pay 2, and 12, for the gloves; for her other miscarriages, it was declared that she deserves corporal punishment, which the Court will take their time to consider of, which she must expect unless her better carriage prevent it. Mr. Yale desired that he might be freed of Ann Small, who has carried it so unsatisfyingly in his family; but no place being propounded to the satisfaction of the court, she left with Mr. Yale until further order.

New Haven Town Records Feb 1659/60: Francis Harvey & Ann Small, who were both fined the last Court, their fines being demanded; they were told that the Court approved not their going on in that league which had been witnessed against; Francis was warned to remove out of town this spring; he said he was sorry for what he had done, & desired that he might stay.

Information from George W PAGE 21/12/2003

Mr. Yale is Thomas Yale was born in Denbighshire Wales. His mother's (Anne Yale Eaton) second husband was Theophilus Eaton, Governor of New Haven Colony. Ann Small's marriage to Thomas Wheaton occured 4 months after the court disallowed her marriage to Harvey. March was the first month of the year, so May 24, 1661 would have been 4 months later. I am writing up a family history on this family unit, and am doing a "chapter" on their servants, and other people that lived in their households. I cannot find another person or family named Small in Jacobus, which is a very comprehensive work. So I am thinking that Ann Small was maybe indentured, and because indentured servants were not allowed to marry without the "permission" of the Court before their contract of servitude was up.

Information from George W PAGE may 2002

John Meigs is the important clue to the origin of Thomas Wheadon:

Vincent Meggs and His Sons

Vincent Meggs (#1) was the first member of the "family" in America. He came to America with his sons Vincent, Jr. (#2), John (#3) and Mark (#4). It was his son John who changed the spelling of the family name to Meigs. The reason for the change is unknown today. The name is still pronounced Meggs.

ORIGINS

Vincent has been located among the Bishop's Transcripts of the parish of Chardstock, Dorset. These records commence in 1579, and extend with few breaks through 1641. Douglas Richardson of Tucson, AZ, was surprise in 1991 to find the baptism records for three children of Vincent's while searching these transcripts. The record also provides us, for the first time, the given name of Meggs' wife, Emma. These three entries read as follow:

16 Apr.1610 Marie the daughter of Vincent & Em Maggs baptized

29 Jan.1612/3 John the sonne of Vincent & Em Maggs baptized

25 August 1616 Marke the sonne of Vincent & Em Maggs baptized

A further mention of Vincent comes from the records of Axminster, Devon, England, which is an adjacent parish to Chardstock. There one Vincent Maggs is appointed the overseer of the will of John Maggs. The will was proved in the Court of the Archdeaconry of Exeter on 17 September 1632 with the only surviving abstract in the collection of Sir Oswin Murray held at the West Country Studies Library at Exeter. The will reads:

"Will of John Maggs of Axminster, 1632:

I John Maggs of Axminster, husbandman. To my daughter Alice, if she marry to the liking of her mother and brother Stephen, 20 marks. To my daughter Jane, 20 marks when 18. To my daughter Elizabeth, 20 marks when 18. To my children John[,] Emmet and Joan, 20 marks each. To John Hore, son of Constantine Hore and Agness my daughter £4 when 14. The rest to Agnis, my wife, and Stephen my son, executors; overseers: Vincent Maggs, Thomas Lovinge; witnesses: Edward Staple, Wm Steart.

Proved 17 Sept. 1632.

From records found at the Devon, England, Record Officer in the Petre Family records, it appears that Vincent Meggs was an Innkeeper, moving from Chardstock to Axminster in 1617 to become landlord of the Angel Inn. There is no Angle Inn in Axminster today. Research might be able to trace its site, or even the building. These records also indicate the Vincent Meggs at times used the alias Vincent Love and at other times was known as Vincent Love alias Vincent Meggs. It would be worthwhile searching records for the Love alias Meggs surname elsewhere in England.

JOHN MEIGS

John Meigs is recorded on February 24, 1644 in New Haven, CT, as having been admitted a member of the court, and the same year is admitted a freeman. In 1648 he bought the lot known in recent history as "Cutler Corner,"

The conveyance of this property is on record and reads: "William Jeanes passeth over to John Meggs his house and house lot lying on the corner over against the house of John Budd, and the highway." Meigs owned this property for 10 years before giving it to the town in 1658. John appears in the court records of New Haven throughout 1645, 1646, 1647, and 1648. On December 5, 1648, New Haven Court, Richard Perry declared that Meigs had not delivered the 10 bushel of wheat ordered by the court earlier. The court ordered Meigs to hand over the wheat and "for the contemptuous cariage of John Meggs to the court in refusing to fulfill their order in the attachment laid upon the corn the court fined him xx." John also appears in the records on January 6, 1662, about a debt he claimed from the Estate of Thomas Jeffries.

John was a tanner, currier and shoemaker. On March 3, 1653/4 he was admitted to Guilford as a planter on his buying a 100lb. allotment at Hammonassett (Hammonassett became East Guilford and is now Madison).

John also purchased from the agent of Thomas Jones, on March 4, 1667/8, the land on the east side of Guilford Green.

John later moved to Killingworth, CT., where he died on January 2, 1672. He married Thomasine Frye, daughter of William Frye (emigrated to Weymouth MA about 1636) in England about 1632.

From the above we can deduce that Thomas Wheadon was b. in Devon, probably in or near Axminster, about the year 1635. As he was apprenticed at about the age of 9 before he left England with John Meigs, I would guess that he was an orphan.

Nathaniel PAGE and his family lived in North Branford as yearly as May 1717. The people of the area, who were known as North Farmers, requested permission of the town of Branford in 1715 to have a separate preaching for themselves because of the distance to Branford and the size of their community. The town was reluctant and in 1717 the North Farmers appealed to the General Court. Nathaniel PAGE was one of the North farmers to sign the petition to Branford on May 6 1717 (Daniel PAGE was another signer)
