Notes

John Wheeler is said to have sailed for America on 24 March 1633-1634 in the ship 'Mary and Johnl,' bringing his wife Ann and six children and leaving four sons in England. He spent the first year of residence at Aggawam (now Ipswich), Massachusetts. The following year he removed to the settlement on the north bank of the Merrimac River that was called Salisbury after 1640, and as one of its original proprietors, in 1641 he received land there which he still held and paid tax on as late as 1652, notwithstanding he had removed to Newbury, Massachusetts, before 1650.
