The following data is taken from "Time After Time," Vol. 1, No. 5, an= informal historical publication by E. C. Smith, a title searcher from= Jarratsville, Maryland. Mr. Smith must have died by early 1999 when=20= found his article on the Internet and wrote him, noting ever so polit= some of his mistakes (e.g., that Catholic David Thomas divorced Eliza= Wheeler when he in fact died). I received no response. But his stor= "The Three Sisters" is a good one which I have edited for readability= provide family context.
Benjamin Wheeler, a Roman Catholic born in Charles County, Maryland,=20 "took up" 1000 acres of land in about 1685. According to E. C. Smi= Benjamin was the son of John Wheeler, not Thomas Wheeler. In 1704, a= the age of 19, Benjamin married Elizabeth. They lived in Charles Cou= for 7 years and then moved to Prince George's County, Maryland. In 1= at age 31, Benjamin patented 1000 acres of Northeast Baltimore County= named it "Wheeler's and Clark's Conrivance." Two years later he took= wife and five children from "crowded" Prince George's County to this=20 property in the wilderness of Indians, forts, miles of forrested hill= and few neighbors. =20
Benjamin Wheeler would eventually patent over 4,000 acres in what wou= become part of Harford County. The names he gave them were: "Wheele= and Clark's Contrivance," "The Three Sisters," "Taylor's Neglect,"=20 "Benjamin's Beginning," "Maiden's Meadows," "St. Omer's," and "Green=20 Springs." Benjamin and Elizabeth lived from 1718 to his death on Oct= 21, 1741 at "Wheeler's and Clark's Contrivance." =20
"The Three Sisters" was patented in 1718 about the time of the birth=20= Benjamin and Elizabeth's third daughter, Charity (plus, at that time,= Jane and Mary). Part of the Upper Node Forest, the farm was located=20 between the drafts of Deer Creek and Winter's Run. This was a wild,=20 wooded area covering Harford, Baltimore (from which Harford was carve= and Carroll Counties, from the Gunpowder River to "The Barrens" in Yo= County, Pennsylvania. {Barrens were created out of the great forests= the Indians who burned the same several hundred acre area each Fall.=20= growth the following Spring attracted game and made hunting easier. =20= the years, however, the lack of a root system caused the topsoil to=20 erode, and today only stunted trees grow there. The smoke from these=20 burnings made "hazy" days of Fall which came to be known as "Indian=20 summer."}
The financial successes of Benjamin and Elizabeth Wheeler enabled the= provide each of their children a house, farm and servants as they=20 married. On September 15, 1741, five weeks before his death, Benjami= deeded away all of his land to his eight children in what was perhaps= great example in the Colonial Era of "How to Avoid Probate." "The Th= Sisters" was divided among the four children who already lived there:= acres to son Benjamin and 200 acres each to Jane {and Isaac Butterwor= Mary; and Elizabeth {and David Thomas}. From North to South, the lan= divided: Mary, Elizabeth Thomas, Jane Butterworth, and Benjamin=20 Wheeler. =20
Mary Wheeler was unmarried and living on her 200 acres in 1741 when h= father died. She married William Few 2 years later and they lived on= 200 acres for the next 10 years. In 1753 the Fews sold Mary's 200 ac= to unrelated parties and moved with their 6 children to North Carolin= Mary died near Hillsboro, North Carolina in 1789. This northernmost=20 segment of "The Three Sisters" was embroiled in litigation until 1786= because subsequent owners, following P. T. Barnum's eventual advice,=20 managed to sell the same land to multiple buyers.
Elizabeth Wheeler and her husband, David Thomas, were living on her 2= acres when Benjamin Wheeler made his deed in 1741. David is the dire= ancestor of Catherine DuVal Thomas. According to E. C. Smith, David=20 Thomas was a widower with two children, David and Hannah, when he and= Elizabeth married in 1732. Thus, Elizabeth may not have been our=20 ancestor although her family provided the "family farm." =20
In 1742 Elizabeth and David purchased half of her sister Jane's 200 a= to the south, giving Elizabeth a total of 300 acres. David died prob= in 1746 (proceedings for his estate are recorded in September of that= year), leaving four children: David and Hannah, Elizabeth and Mary.=20= July 2, 1748, Elizabeth Wheeler Thomas is referred to in court recor= for David's estate as having married Henry Green. They continued to=20= on Elizabeth's 300 acres and had two children, Leonard and Ann. In 1= Elizabeth sold her land to her "son" David Thomas. (Could E. C. Smit= wrong about David's prior marriage?) Elizabeth died in 1777, and Hen= Green in 1797. =20
Jane Wheeler and her husband Isaac Butterworth were also living on he= 200 acres when Benjamin Wheeler deeded it to her in 1741. She and Is= had married in 1728, and had 6 children. They sold Jane's plantation= two pieces in 1742: 100 acres to Elizabeth and David Thomas to the=20 north, and 100 acres to her brother Benjamin to the south. They th= moved to "John and Isaac's Lott," land of the Butterworth family not=20= far away. Isaac died in 1746 at age 42 (did an epidemic take both Is= and David Thomas?) Jane remarried to Lawrence Clark and died in 1770= the age of 65. "John and Isaac's Lott" was eventually owned by Jane'= son Benjamin Butterworth, a resident of Bedford County, Virginia. =20
Like his sisters, Benjamin Wheeler, the son, was already resident on=20= part of "The Three Sisters" when it was deeded to him by his father i= 1741. He was married twice, first to Elizabeth Clement and then to=20 Rebecca Miles Beavan, a widow, and had nine children by them. To his= acres he added the 100 acres purchased from sister Jane Butterworth a= then added a tract of "escheat" land known as "Frenches Bedford," ren= "Wheeler's Security." Benjamin died in 1769. His widow leased her=20 interest for 25 pounds sterling a year until 1786 when she sold it to= brother Charles Beaven. =20

I thought you might be interested in Mary Louise Donnelly conclusions about the mother of Ignatius and Richard Gardiner, the sons of Luke Gardiner from her new book, Gardiner Descendants Plus Hatton Family and Weire Family Histories, 2004. Most secondary sources show Ignatius born about 1711 and his mother as Anne Craycroft. However, in "Gardiner Descendants Plus Hatton Family and Weire Family History, Mary Louise Donnelly, 2004, p. 35, the author states:
" Ignatius Gardiner was born about 1699 in Prince George's County, Mayland, the son of Luke Gardiner and Anne Pile. On 2/20/1720 Ignatius Gardiner and his brother Richard of Prince George's County, received 537 acres of "Father's Request" in Baltimore County on the north side of Deer Creek from Benjamin Wheeler (Patent IL#A:376). Benjamin Wheeler had obtained 770 acres of this tract from their father just a few months prior to their father Luke Gardine's death [transferred 4/14/1719]. Since the tract was termed "Father's Request," this researcher believes the land was placed in the hands of Benjamin Wheeler until Ignatius Gardiner became of age. This would place Ignatius Gardiner's birth as 1699, and his mother as the first wife [Anne Pile] of Luke Gardiner."

I thought you might be interested in Mary Louise Donnelly conclusions about the mother of Ignatius and Richard Gardiner, the sons of Luke Gardiner from her new book, Gardiner Descendants Plus Hatton Family and Weire Family Histories, 2004. Most secondary sources show Ignatius born about 1711 and his mother as Anne Craycroft. However, in "Gardiner Descendants Plus Hatton Family and Weire Family History, Mary Louise Donnelly, 2004, p. 35, the author states:
" Ignatius Gardiner was born about 1699 in Prince George's County, Mayland, the son of Luke Gardiner and Anne Pile. On 2/20/1720 Ignatius Gardiner and his brother Richard of Prince George's County, received 537 acres of "Father's Request" in Baltimore County on the north side of Deer Creek from Benjamin Wheeler (Patent IL#A:376). Benjamin Wheeler had obtained 770 acres of this tract from their father just a few months prior to their father Luke Gardine's death [transferred 4/14/1719]. Since the tract was termed "Father's Request," this researcher believes the land was placed in the hands of Benjamin Wheeler until Ignatius Gardiner became of age. This would place Ignatius Gardiner's birth as 1699, and his mother as the first wife [Anne Pile] of Luke Gardiner."

The following data is taken from "Time After Time," Vol. 1, No. 5, an= informal historical publication by E. C. Smith, a title searcher from= Jarratsville, Maryland. Mr. Smith must have died by early 1999 when=20= found his article on the Internet and wrote him, noting ever so polit= some of his mistakes (e.g., that Catholic David Thomas divorced Eliza= Wheeler when he in fact died). I received no response. But his stor= "The Three Sisters" is a good one which I have edited for readability= provide family context.
Benjamin Wheeler, a Roman Catholic born in Charles County, Maryland,=20 "took up" 1000 acres of land in about 1685. According to E. C. Smi= Benjamin was the son of John Wheeler, not Thomas Wheeler. In 1704, a= the age of 19, Benjamin married Elizabeth. They lived in Charles Cou= for 7 years and then moved to Prince George's County, Maryland.

Two years later he took= wife and five children from "crowded" Prince George's County to this=20 property in the wilderness of Indians, forts, miles of forrested hill= and few neighbors. =20
Benjamin Wheeler would eventually patent over 4,000 acres in what wou= become part of Harford County.
