Ann Elizabeth Wheeler1
b. 7 March 1831, d. May 1868
Birth*
7 March 1831
Ann ElizabethWheeler was born on 7 March 1831, probably in Connecticut, although the Conger Family source reported it took place on Long Island, New York.1
Nickname
Ann Elizabeth Wheeler was most often called Elizabeth Wheeler.
Ann Elizabeth Wheeler and John NewtonConger appeared on the 1850 census taken on 14 October 1850 in Township 10 N 1 E, Knox County, Illinois. He was a farmer and they were both 19. The newly married couple lived with John Newton's brother, Norman Hurd Conger and his wife Mary, who was Elizabeth's sister. Clustered together on the same census page, and apparently living on neighboring farms, were two additional Conger brothers: Crayton Hall Conger and wife Minerva, and Lauren Clark Conger with his wife Amanda and their son Seth. Minerva and Amanda Conger were most likely sisters and their Hasbrook parents also lived on a neighboring farm in the cluster. And then, not too far away, were Mary and Elizabeth's parents, Alvah and Jenotia Wheeler with their family. Two more daughters still living in the Wheeler parents' home would also marry Conger brothers.4

Sophia and Reuben H.Spicer appeared on the 1850 census taken on 9 October 1850 in Township 14 N R 1 W, Mercer County, Illinois. The census taker's accuracy leaves much to be desired, and the record's transcription is also questionable. The record indicates that the Spicer's real estate holdings were valued at $5,000 and they had five children in their household. "Alivica" was enumerated as age 9 although Sarah Amelia was actually 12 and two years older than her sister, Augusta spelled "Autusta", who was recorded as 10. The 9-year-old Edgar Lewis was not enumerated with the family. Talbot, transcribed as "Salbot" was 7 and the two youngest children, Charles F. and Lucy were 5 and 2 respectively.2
Census 1860*

Sarah was 21 and working as a School Teacher, as was her sister Augusta who was 19. All of the other children, with the exception of the two youngest, were attending school. Lewis was 17, Talbot, recorded as "Albert" was 15, Charles-13, Lucy-11, Reuben-9, Frank-6, "Minna May"-3 and Mary was recorded as 5 months.3
