George's life
George, his wife, Katherine (Pinn) Wheeler, and three of their children probably came to New England from Cranfield Parish, Bedforshire, England about 1638. Although the names of the parents of George are not clear, it is evident that he had two brothers who also came to Concord: Captain Timothy Wheeler and Captain Thomas Wheeler. The name, George Wheeler, appears in the Concord records from the time they were first kept until his death. He owned jointly with his brother, Timothy, considerable property including the original part of what is now The Colonial Inn in Concord. Together, the brothers owned most of the property left by Rev. Peter Bulkley. George possessed land in every part of the town including Brook Meadows, Fairhaven Meadow, The Cranefield, Walden Goose Pond, Fint's Pond, etc. His home lot and house consisted of eleven acres.
