It was in 1807 that Isaac Wheeler, Esq., and his wife made their first visit to their old homes in Rutland, Mass. They took their tow children with them on horseback to Bangor and thence to Boston by Water. One of these children afterwards became the wife of Charles P.

On their return to Lincolntown they were accompanied by Elizabeth Murray, a sister of Mrs. Wheeler, who soon after became the wife of John S. Haskell. From this marriage sprang a large family of children who, in after years, became prominent citizens of Garland.
