    Samuel Wheeler married Phoebe Glover of what is now Newtown. The dowry she received from her father was a female slave named Philisy. He brought both his wife and the slave from Newtown on a pillion, as wagons were almost unknown in those days. They had only one horse, so it is very evident that Samuel had to walk ... He worked hard and faithfully all through his useful life, and by good judgment and to frugality acquired a nice little fortune and became one of the largest land owners in this section of the country. He was identified with St. Peter's church and was one of the most liberal contributors towards the erection of the new church. In politics he was a Jeffersonian democrat, and was elected to fill many offices of trust within the gift of his townsmen. He lived long beyond the allotted time of man, but I have no record of his age or the date of his death.
