Document:
Richard Wheeler married Catherine Church in Wilkes or Caldwell County, North Carolina in 1829. That same year, he admitted that he had fathered a child by her older sister Rachel (or Rachael). A number of thoughts come to mind.
What was her sister (either one) thinking?
Was their father fit to be tied?
I know there is a story there, and I have no idea what it is, but I'd love to know what was going on, how the families settled what would be done about it and so forth. I know that Richard Wheeler signed a bastardy bond, putting up $200, and promising to pay for the raising of his son, Alfred Church, on May 5, 1829. I know that his son, Andrew Lindsey Wheeler, took some responsibility for the child Alfred and for Alfred's children later in life. There are some great tales in this family, representing interesting history of how people saw the world in the 19th century.
There also exists one letter written by Rachel to her grandchildren in Alabama. She laments the prices of crops and mentions a relative who died three years earlier. That last comment is particularly revealing, showing what a big deal it was to write a letter. Her trials aside, Rachel lived to be 85 years old. Her sister Catherine lived to be around 40.
