Eliphalet Gilbert's son Ira, b. 16Aug1829, was my 3GF. Drafted into Union Army at the age of 34. Marriage "certificate" states that his father was Eliphalet and mother was Phoebe Howard. No connection to E. Wheeler that I can determine. 1860 census has; Eliphalet 50 (1810), Susan 25 (1835), Caroline 10 (1850), Leander 71 (1789). Assuming L. to be E.'s father, your Leander (1848) may be E.'s brother.
