WHEATON, Theodore and Helen, PA and NJ
I am looking for members of the Wheaton family from Philadelphia or Paterson, NJ.Theodore and Helen are brother and sister who lived in Paterson in the 1890's. Helen married Andrew Lee Raiford of Mississippi. According to Helen and Andrew's son, Helen's father worked at Menlo Park with Thomas Edison; their house was the first to have electricity in Paterson.I believe their uncle owned a hardware store in Philadelphia.
