Descendants of Benjamin Wheat

 

 

            This file details only the family and descendants of Benjamin Wheat and Sarah Wright of New Ipswich, New Hampshire, Westford and Conway, Massachusetts, and Phelps, New York, only through their grandchildren, for the most part, except for my own line, which is carried out one more generation. Benjamin Wheat was among the fifth generation of Wheats in New England. I have relied heavily on Silas Carmi Wheat’s Wheat Genealogy, published in 1960, and I may add to this as more information is discovered.
