Nathan Stewart Wheeler

Notes:

Nathan built basements, foundations and streets in the Kansas City area in the early 1900's. At one time he owned a shoe shop. Family history passed down by word of mouth said that nathan had bought a lot of red shoes and could not sell them even for 15 cents a pair. So he put them out in front of his store and put a sign on them that said, "Special $1.00 a pair." He sold every pair because the women thought they were getting a bargain.

Nathan could speak German and French fluently. He taught a few words to his children, but it is said that after the outbreak of World War II, the children were not allowed to speak German again - however, it appears that Nathan died before the war started, so this story is probably not true.

On Nathan's death certificate, his father is listed as "Lonzo" and his mother as "unknown".

Notes:

John filed an Upper Canada Land Petition dated 21 Apr 1795 stating that he was a Lieutenant in the New Jersey Volunteers in 1776 and was given a commission. After the war, he suffered a long and distressing imprisonment by the enemies of His Majesty's cause. Because of the loyalty of his father's family the estate was greatly depreciated and impaired. John requested a grant of land stating that he had a wife and two children. The Executive Council ordered him the usual allowance.

John lived initially in the Niagra District where he was a Justice of the Peace. On 25 Nov 1807 he purchased from Simon Mabee the south half of lot 24, Con2, Walsingham Twp. and made that his homestead. On 10 Mar 1819 he sold 75 acres of the lot to his son-in-law, William Gallaspy, followed by the other 25 acres on 22 Jul 1822.
