Benjamin (1Thomas) Wheeler of Hardy Co (W) VA

Benjamin Wheeler was born 1772 in Hampshire (now Hardy) Co (W) VA. Reportedly, in 1797 Benjamin married Rachel Harris b. c. 1775.

Benjamin is first recorded in the 1800 Tax List for Hardy Co (W) VA. Benjamin and Rachel lived their lives in Hardy County. Unfortunately, Rachel died by 1815.

In about 1816, Benjamin and family migrated to Licking Co OH. With this date of migration, Henry and family would have been able to take well established roads west to Ohio. His probable route would have gone up the Wagon Road to Winchester, northwest on the Pioneer Road to the Cumberland Road, then northwest to Zane's Trace, and the west to central Ohio.

Benjamin and the children settled near Utica in Washington Twp. Benjamin died 3/29/1832 in Licking Co OH.

The present Licking County Agricultural society was organized in 1848. The preliminary steps for its organization were taken at their monthly meeting in January, 1848, by the Madison Township Farmers' club, which, on motion of James H. Moore, appointed a committee of. three to prepare an address in favor of the encouragement of agriculture by the establishment of a county agricultural society. The committee, which consisted of judge William O'Bannon, David Smith, esq., and the secretary of the club, Mr. B. F. Wheeler, acted promptly and their address was adopted by the club, and published in the Newark Advocate of February 5, 1848, accompanied by some favorable editorial remarks. . . .
