be buried in a Christian and decent burial at the discretion of my executor,
nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again

God to bless me in this life, I give demise and dispose of this same in the
following manner and form: First I give and bequeath to my son Humphrey WHEATON

Letter
to Sarah from her brother, John:
Letter to Miss Sarah Wheaton,
care of Mr. J. Gilbert, No 159 North
posted from Mays Landing, Nov. 8th, by John Wheaton
November
5, 1841
Dr Sister
I received your letter of Oct. 27 yesterday and
was much pleased to hear that you was well and liked
your place & co. Your letter went to Edmond Somers and Lewis brought it
yesterday. When you write again you had better direct to Mays Landing, P.O.
care of Thompson.
I
have been at home once since you went up. All well at that time. The day you left
home George had another attack of epilipsy and was sick all day. I have not heard of his having any more
since. I am more uneasy about him this fall than ever. He seems to have lost
his spirits very much of late. I pity him from the bottom of my heart but
cannot do him any good. I am afraid the
disease will get so firmly seated that it will be impossible to move it.
I have nothing new to tell you about except
that Hannah lost Washington Adams. He was married about two weeks ago and I was
present at the wedding and had a very social time. The girl's name was Robart
but I suppose you did not know her.
I have been suffering from a severe cold
but felt rather better today. The wether which has been very warm for the
season altered very sudden yesterday. We had quite a heavy gust. The wind has
got moved to the westward and there is every indication of settled wether. I am
pleased to hear that you have concluded not to stay so long as we are all
anxious to see you. I hope you will be careful about the society you keep and
never associate with anyone whose character is the least suspicious. I suppose
you think {I} am cautioning you unnessarily but I know that you are likely to
meet with a great many strange characters and it is better to be always aware
of strangers but I think you are possessed of quite as much discretion as most
young persons of your age and experience. {NOTE: Sarah would have been 17 or 18
at this writing.}
The place where you live must be in the
midst of the bustle and confusion which is not as agreeable as it would be in a
more retired part of the city but I expect you can make yourself tolerably well
contented any where while all is a novelty.
I saw the letter you wrote home the other
day. You do not mention Uncle Amos family in neither one.
I suppose you have forgotten to mention them. You must try to keep in
friendship with all our friends if possible. If they do not treat you quite
well as they might you must not show any resentment. Remember me to Isaac and
Adelaide (?) and uncle's family and all who may enquire after me. Write
whenever you can. Let me know in your next what you have seen new since you
have been in town. I should like to be there with you a few days if
circumstances would permit but I shall not be able during your stay this time.
Probably I may next spring.
I am your
affectionate
brother,

Notes
for AMOS
John
Wheaton (1818-1897) mentions "Uncle Amos"
A
search of census records provides the three citations given here, for 1830,
1850 and 1860. No 1840 listing has been found yet, as of 10/2002. The ages of Amos, Rachel and Anna vary from
census to census, but the approximate birth year for Amos agrees reasonably
with the family records.
In
addition, the Chapmans, with whom the Wheatons were living in 1850 amd 1860,
provide additional evidence that this Amos is the right one. John Wheaton (the
letter writer) had a daughter by his second wife, named Esther Chapman Wheaton.
Since the Chapman name does seem to appear in the mother's line, there is
reason to believe that this younger Esther (who died in childhood) was named
after the Philadelphia Esther. Perhaps John got along better with his Uncle
Amos than his sister Sarah did, and wanted to honor the relation.
This
naming also implies that Rachel was perhaps a Chapman, and that William was her
nephew or perhaps a son by a previous marriage. Esther could be his sister, or
his wife. The early censuses are not clear on these matters.
William
R. Chapman was listed as a coal merchant in the 1860
Amos
apparently died before 1880, as his wife Rachel and daughter Anna S. are living

she was 23 when she married John Wheaton. It is also possible that Ann Watson
married an Atwood, then remarried.
Laura is not listed with Chauncey, Anna, John

for ANNIE MAY
The
1930 census lists Annie with her son, John C. Howland. The record reports her
age correctly, but lists her as being married at age 25, putting the marriage
year as 1890. Her husband Henry is not listed, however. Perhaps she was widowed
by 1930, or perhaps her husband was elsewhere when the census was taken.

for GLADYS
Gladys
WHEATON, aged 5 at the time of the 1900 Federal Census, is listed as the
daughter of James W. and Emma L. WHEATON, despite Gladys being born in
(English) Canada of Canadian-born parents. Undoubtedly she was adopted by the
WHEATONs.
However, the adoption was not formal. Gladys,
whose birth name was Florence NICHOLS or NICHOL, could not use the name Gladys
WHEATON when she married Horace BIRD. Rather, she was compelled to put her
birth name on the marriage license. (Correspondence, Pat Bird, her grandchild,
9 July 2001)
We know nothing about the circumstances
surrounding Gladys's adoption, or the details of how she and Emma ended up in
Gladys
apparently kept in touch with her adopted father, as he had several photos of
her through young adulthood.
She
also stayed in touch with her adopted mother, as Pat BIRD, her granddaughter,
has several birthday cards sent from Emma to Gladys.
The
christening photo was made by Aubin & Cie, 3673 Notre-Dame, St. Henri,
Familysearch.org
also lists the Nipissing birthplace for Florence NICHOLS, but there is no
guarantee that the Nipissing Florence is in fact Gladys.
Pat
BIRD found evidence during a trip to Montréal that Thomas NICHOL may have
indeed been Gladys' father, or perhaps that his unmarried sister, Gertrude
Florence NICHOL, was Gladys mother. More About GLADYS
