Timothy is the son of Ephraim and Hannah Goodell (Wheeler).

Town of Alburgh, page 218
"Timothy Wheeler, from Grafton, assumed came to Alburgh in 1783, locating near the Providence line. He died here in 1854, aged seventy-three years. Palmer, his son, who is still living, at the age of seventy-three, also spent a portion of his life on the farm, which is now owned by Timothy's grandson, Dr. Philander A. Wheeler, of Alburgh Center."
The year 1783 is probably a misprint and should read 1793. A year later, in 1794, Ephraim states he arrived in March in Quebec. Ephraim's son Benjamin was born on October 28, 1793 in Grafton, Massachusetts.
Timothy in his will dated 16 November 1846 requested that : "after his decease, his body should be committed to the ground and herein interred, in the burring ground of Clarenceville, or St. George's in a Christain like manner, as near as possible of the late Ephraim Wheeler, his late father, with a tomb stone, as good as his father have, put on his grave, as soon as possible after decease."
Ephraim Wheeler is buried in St. George's Cemetery about 30 feet from the north-west corner of St. George's Episcopal Church in Clarenceville, Quebec. All the tombstones were removed and are stored in the basement of the church because they were "higgely pigely" and the members voted to remove them as they did not want to take care of the cemetery.
Per the Rev. Thora L Chadwick, Priest-in-Charge, during the restoration of St. George's about five years ago (so about 2016-2017) all the tombstones in the basement were removed and placed elsewhere for safekeeping. Unfortunately the Rev was told that none of the them were a Wheeler headstone. Email received from Thora Chadwick on October 6th, 2021
