    Notes:

    GBFA p.25: The Reverend Ephraim Wheaton was the 9th son of a clergyman, and is believed to be a descendant of Robert Wheaton who immigrated to Massachusetts in 1636. Ephraim Wheaton lived in Southern massachusetts all his life. One of his descendants is Judge Laban Wheaton who founded the Wheaton Seminary College at Norton, Mass. Among the children of the Rev. Ephraim and Mary (Mason) Wheaton are:

    a. Alice (or "Else") Wheaton, b. Nov. 26, 1700; md. #39 Daniel Barney.
    b. Freelove Wheaton, b. June 1, 1703; md. #46 Josiah Barney.

    "Reed Family History," by Mrs. Nellie Reed Sutherland: "Ephraim Wheaton was the son of Robert Wheaton, an early settler in Rehoboth, owning land there in 1658. In the double Volume 1 and 2 of Arnold's "Vital Records," on page 20, he says Robert Wheaton and Elce Bowen were married about 1636 at Salem, Mass. Elce Bowen was the daughter of Richard Bowen who was one of the early Pilgrims. Robert Wheaton followed Roger Williams from Salem south toward Providence in 1638 or about that date. The Wheaton family has produced many famous ministers and judges. Two of the latter endowed the Wheaton Female Seminary (now College) at Norton, Mass., 80 miles from Taunton and near Rehoboth. My daughter, Jean Sutherland, graduated from this college in 1913. It is about 80 years old now."

    Notes from Rehoboth Roots; Updated: Mar 19, 2002.

[The first Baptist Church in Swansea] In 1718 the church records seem to begin. Mr. Wheaton appears to have been a man who exerted a great and good influence on the church, and on others also. His ministry was eminently successful, and the church was highly prosperous. According to the records we have, about one hundred were added to the church. He died April 26, in the seventy-fifth year of his age, and was buried in Rehoboth." [History of Swansea] Residence was in a contiguous part of Rehoboth. [NEHGR]
