Hi Tim,
This is what I have prior to Richard and Sarah. Thomas Wheeler b. 1604 Bicester Oxon, married Alse Oakly on 1/6/1634. Children were: Thomas b. 1634, John b. 1636, Mary b. 1638, Joane b. 1641. The line descends from Thomas Wheeler b. 1634 St. Giles Oxon, who married Jane ? b. 1640 in 1659 prox. Children: Jane b. 1660, Thomas b. 1664, Richard b. 1674, William b. 1676, Henry b. 1677, Breget b. 1682, all in Abingdon Berkshire. We descend from Richard b. 1674 who married Sarah Bartlett b. 1671 Watlington, in 1694. Children: John b. 1694, Richard b. 1697, Joseph b. 1699, Sarah b. 1701, Mary b. 1703, Henry b. 1706 (your line) m. Mary Shank 1731, Elizabeth b. 1708 m. Robert Ridge b.1708 d.1754 Abingdon on 12/4/1729, Benjamin b. 1711, Caleb b.1713 (my line) m. (1) Mary Costin 30/10/1743 (2) Mary Cowcher 30/5/1765. Sophia Wheeler was from Mary Cowcher and married John Johnsons Embury on 6/5/1793 Bibury, Glos. It is the Embury family which is my main interest. I was thinking that as Richard would have been over 70 when he remarried, it may have been the son Richard's 2nd marriage and not his, and I don't have any info on the inn I'm afraid. Hope you can make sense of the above and that it helps. Please ask if you have any queries, you never know, I might just have the answer and vice versa. Best wishes Val
