Hello,
    My great-grandmother Nellie Stephens, daughter of Andrew Stephens and Olive Bigelow, married a Joel Wheaton who
was also born in Colchester, CT.  Joel died from an horse and wagon accident in Lyme, CT. where they lived, leaving
several children, my grandfather Albert Edgar Wheaton  is one of their children.  After his father's death his mother could
not care for all of the children he went to live with family/friends in Lebanon, CT.  The family got separated.  Do you have
any information on this family?
Regards,
June Bastille/Lebanon, CT.
