Suzanne, I read what you said about Ransom Wheeler. He was also my Grandmothers Uncle. She was Blonnie Yarbrough, her Mother was Alice Emmons, and I think her mother was a Wheeler, and Ransom was an uncle to her. I don't have all that infomation, but my mother is Marcille Hancock-Hughes. She wrote a story about the Wheeler in the Light and Champion and had that same picture you have in her article, perhaps that is where you got your photo, or not? I do have a cousin in
Center, name Suzanne, but not sure about "Brown" As you are new to the site, you will find I have ask to be friends, then we can email, to each other, on this site.
Dear Suzanne, Good to hear of you. I have some good history on the Wheelers written by my mother. Also, do you have the book that Deloris Wheeler wrote? I don't have it, and I'm not even sure where she is now. She was married to a Wheeler, but divorced him, around 1970.
I'm not sure how Mama got the copy of the photo that you have, but she said, it came out the news paper, back in the early 1900's If you will send my your email address I will sends parts of this story as I find them. She wrote them in chapters. I'm working on my Moms article now, trying to get them into a book for the family, and maybe other people that might want to buy one It's about Shelby County history, passed down thru my Mama's family. Does your old deed have Sam Houston's signature? The Hardy Hancock land grant deeds have his signature on them. This email only lets you type 2000 letters...
