Please see my web site Wheaton Surname Resources for lots of helpful information including my Beginner's Guide to Genetic Genealogy.

There are to date at least 8 WHEATON Lines in ENGLAND, six in DEVON. We have connected  9 Devon Wheatons (including one that went to Australia)!  We have connected the Wheadon of Devon to those in Australia and America. We have one English Whetton/ Wheaton line from Staffordshire connected to Wheatons in America. We have a separate Wheaton line in Devon/Somerset which also matches a Hancock in Devon and a Mallenby in Northumberland a Howell and Raines in Wales.

Robert Wheaton: 8 sons 2 daughters  We have connected Robert to the old world!

3) Jeremiah bc 1645, 4 sons; only one surviving he with one son no male issue (end of line)
4) Obadiah born 1647, 3 sons need descendents for testing
