James WHEELER [1753 - 1843]
While the time of James Wheeler and family came to Gibson County is given as late summer of 1805,
James states in his application for Revolutionary War pension the number of years he was living in
Indiana made the year 1808. It is stated that they came from Virginia and North Carolina.
He may have also been in Sumner County, Tennesse prior to his arrival in
Gibson County. Whether he came with just his family group or other relatives is not certain.
There were several Wheeler families in other Indiana Counties. Other records of this family of
Wheelers indicate they were living in Shelby and Deleware Counties. Another early family from
North Carolina settled east of Gibson and Posey Counties in White County, Illinois.
The following article was obtained from an early history of Gibson County, Indiana, from Princeton library.
Tartts History of Gibson County, Indiana:
"Naomi (mother) wife of Benjamin Wheeler* and sister of Charity Gifford Bolt, died March 29, 1892,
aged 86 years. Benjamin (father) died June 2, 1850 aged 57, (?) George (brother) son of
Benjamin and Naomi died December 16, 1896. ______________(sister) died ______________ age 62 years.
James Wheeler, who also had a large family. A wife, five sons and 4 daughters. He was a peculiar
sort of a man, fond of fun, and occasionally enjoyed taking part in a hand to hand fight, and at gatherings
such as log rollings or muster days. Wheeler was sure to imbibe quite freely and then get into a
misunderstanding with someone, which would generally result in a fist fight. Wheeler though a man of
small stature was very spry and active and mostly came out victorious. He settled in the timber east
about five miles from Princeton in the summer of 1805 where he erected a cabin, cleared a small tract
of land, but his subsistence for himself and family for the first year was gained principally by hunting, as
he arrived too late in the summer to make a crop. He became quite a noted hunter, and proved himself
to be quite a valuable acquisition to the settlement. He was foremost in repelling any Indian aggresions
and frequently boasted that he was not afraid of the redskins, and he proved it, because on the breaking
out of Indian troubles he promptly enlisted, as did three of his sons, and participted in the battle of
Tippecanoe. The war over and peace declared, he returned to his country home, where he lived the
quiet life of a farmer for a number of years, and he and his wife died after filling in usefulness their
allotted time. They left numerous descendants who still reside in the county.....
(continues with other early county families).
James Wheeler is buried five (5) miles southeast of Princeton, Indiana in his own private burial plot.
In 1926 the patriotic organizations of Gibson County placed a tombstone in front of the original one;
there is also a footstone. The original tombstone reads: "In memory of James Wheeler who served in
the revolutinary war five years, ten months, died the 2nd, buried with the full honors of war,
4th July 1843, Aged 90 years".
