Sometime between the birth of their eldest daughter in 1810 at Petersham, and the birth of their second daughter in Greenwich, Gardner Wheeler and his wife became residents of the town of Greenwich, Hampshire, Massachusetts, United States, which was disincorporated to make way for the Quabbin Reservoir. Although the death of Gardner Wheeler was recorded in 1848 in Greenwich, a notation of 1828 was affixed to the list of persons belonging to Greenwich which died out of town, likely added by a later hand rather than as part of the original record. His grave was removed from its original site in Greenwich Cemetery, Block 15, Lot 295, Grave 3, to the Quabbin Park Cemetery, Lot 468, Grave 8, at the request of lot representative Stanley T. Wheeler by undertaker N.L.H.(J.) according to a copy of a file card at the cemetery building on the grounds. Gardner Wheeler was a seventh generation descendant of William White who was a passenger on the ship Mayflower.
