The following Cranfield, Bedfordshire, England baptismal information is from the 1951 article in The American Genealogist (TAG) "The Wheelers of Bedfordshire and New England. II. The Parish Registers of Cranfield" by John Insley Coddington.
Timothy Wheeler - 28 December 1604
Joseph Wheeler - 18 February 1609/10
Obadiah Wheeler - 5 December 1609
George Wheeler - 13 June 1613
Ephraim Wheeler - 16 March 1618/19
I'm assuming #2 Ephraim, #3 Joseph and #4 Timothy were brothers, sons of Thomas the Elder of Cranfield who wrote his will 7 December 1627 and was buried 11 February 1634/5. (The will was published in the July 1937 TAG article "The Father of the Concord Wheelers" by Donald Lines Jacobus). Their other brothers were Thomas Sr. born by 1591 and Thomas Jr. baptized 9 April 1620 (according to Coddington).
I'm assuming #5 George and #6 Obadiah were brothers, and 1st cousins to Ephraim, Joseph and Timothy. George and Obadiah were the sons of John Wheeler. In the Cranfield parish records, "1613 George son of John Wheeler, sen., 13 June." The other George Wheeler listing is "1605 George son of Thomas Wheler, 23 Mar. 1605/6." so I don't think it is this George because Thomas the Elder's 1627 will does not include a son named George. I need to check into this. Does anyone know?
In Coddington's article, marriage listing "1630 George Wheler & Catharine Pin, 8 June. (This is the second marriage of George Wheeler, widower of Mary Studd, and later of Concord, Mass. See The American Genealogist, 12:5)."
Obadiah married Susannah Wheeler, the sister of Ephraim, Joseph, Timothy, etc. on 20 January 1633/4 (Coddington article).
Now, for the three listings for Thomas Wheeler: Who do the listings apply to?
Thomas who emigrated on the James in 1635
Thomas Wheeler Sr. who married Ann Halsey 5 May 1613
Thomas Jr. (brother of Sr.) bap 9 Apr 1620
Thomas (son of Thomas Sr.) bap 8 December 1621
Thomas who settled in Stonington, CT
