The allegation that Beulah Wheeler married Jonathan Wheeler, son of Abijah and Tabitha (Warren) Wheeler, and died 12 Jun 1820, Templeton, MA, aged 79 years, seems to be false. It is true that Jonathan Wheeler and wife Beulah had the following children, all recorded in Templeton:

i.	Salla Wheeler, b. 2 Oct 176(7?).
ii.	Bulah Wheeler, b. 23 Aug 1769
iii.	Daniel Wheeler, b. 10 Mar 1771
iv.	Polla Wheeler, b. 2 Mar 1773.
v.	Abijah Wheeler, b. 31 Jan 1775.
vi.	Tabatha Wheeler, b. 2 Feb 1777.
vii.	John Fisk Wheeler, b. 12 May 1779
viii.	Persis Wheeler, b. -- Apr 1781.
ix.	Rebeckah Wheeler, b. 7 Apr 1783, bap. 7 Sep 1783.
x.	Joseph Wheeler, b. 9 Jan 1786.

The marriage of Jonathan Wheeler and Beulah Fisk is recorded 3 Apr 1766, Weston, MA. Given the name of son John Fisk Wheeler, it seems that Jonathan Wheeler's wife was not Beulah Wheeler, but Beulah Fisk, daughter of John and Sarah (Childs) Fisk, baptized 25 Jul 1742, Waltham, MA.
