Similarly, my ancestor Thomas Wheeland was born in Ireland (Carlow) in 1812 and emigrated to Ontario Canada about 1825. We have never been able to trace back to Ireland and wonder if he misspelled the name.
Also, there are thousands of Wheelands who were originally from Germany with an original spelling of Weilandor similar.
Drop me a line and lets see if we can exchange any info
