LifeGrattan H. Wheeler was born near Providence, Rhode Island on August 25, 1783.[1] He was the son of Silas Wheeler (1752–1827), a veteran of the American Revolution who took part in the burning of the Gaspée.[2] Later in the Revolution, Silas Wheeler joined the crew of a privateer. He was captured by the British and jailed in Kinsale, Ireland. He escaped with the help of the Irish Patriot, Henry Grattan. In gratitude, Silas Wheeler named his son after Grattan.[3] Grattan Wheeler attended public and preparatory schools in Rhode Island. He moved to Steuben County, New York with his parents in 1800, and became a farmer, lumberman and winemaker.[4] The Wheeler family founded Wheeler, the Steuben County town that was named for them.[5] Wheeler was active in the New York Militia, and attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel as a member of the 96th Infantry Regiment.[6] He also served as Wheeler's Town Supervisor from 1823 to 1824.[7] He was a member of the New York State Assembly in 1822, 1824 and 1826.[8] He was a member of the New York State Senate from 1828 to 1831, sitting in the 51st, 52nd, 53rd and 54th New York State Legislatures.[9] Wheeler was elected as an Anti-Mason to the 22nd United States Congress, holding office from March 4, 1831 to March 3, 1833.[10][11] He was a presidential elector on the Whig ticket in 1840, voting for William Henry Harrison and John Tyler.[12] Grattan Wheeler died in Wheeler on March 11, 1852. He was buried at the Wheeler Family Cemetery in Wheeler.[13] References1. ^Albert Gallatin Wheeler, American College of Genealogy, [https://books.google.com/books?id=hY5bAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA163 The Genealogical and Encyclopedic History of the Wheeler Family in America], 1914, Page 170 2. ^Lewis Cass Aldrich, [https://books.google.com/books?id=NvM1AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA444 Landmarks of Steuben County, New York], 1896, page 444 3. ^Lewis Publishing [https://books.google.com/books?id=CjgVAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA682 A Centennial Biographical History of Seneca County, Ohio], 1902, page 682 4. ^Aldrich, Landmarks of Steuben County, page 42 5. ^The Gazette Company (Elmira, N.Y.), [https://books.google.com/books?id=kWlCAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA202 An Outline History of Tioga and Bradford Counties in Pennsylvania, Chemung, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins, Schuyler Counties in New York], 1895, pages 201-202 6. ^Council of Appointment of the State of New York, [https://books.google.com/books?id=1PV4AAAAMAAJ&pg=PA1589 Military Minutes of the Council of Appointment of the State of New York], Volume 2, 1901, pages 1588-1589 7. ^The Gazette Company, An Outline History, pages 202 8. ^Weed, Parsons & Co., [https://books.google.com/books?id=E3sFAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA315 The New York Civil List], 1858, page 315 9. ^Weed, Parsons & Co., [https://books.google.com/books?id=iD1DAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA140 Civil List and Forms of Government of the Colony and State of New York], 1879, page 140 10. ^Duff Green, [https://books.google.com/books?id=HacFAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA319 Journal of the House of Representatives, Second Session, 22nd Congress], 1832, page 4 11. ^Edwin Williams, [https://books.google.com/books?id=WxYXAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA30 The New York Annual Register], 1831, page 30 12. ^Hezekiah Niles, [https://books.google.com/books?id=dJgbAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA229&dq=grattan+wheeler+elector+harrison+tyler&hl=en&sa=X&ei=5U15UpKjDsbmsAST6YDwDQ&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=grattan%20wheeler%20elector%20harrison%20tyler&f=false Niles' Weekly Register], Volumes 59-60, December 12, 1840, page 229 13. ^Clifford Merrill Drury, [https://books.google.com/books?ei=Uk55UvjOK-rJsATEm4CYDQ&id=WfUUAAAAYAAJ&dq=grattan+wheeler+died+1852&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=died+1852 Henry Harmon Spalding], 1936, page 23 External links{{CongBio|W000334}}
