Hello
If I counted right, we are 4th cousins, once removed.
Chester Baxter was brother to my g-g-g-grandfather Charles Wheelock (1816-1891).
Their other siblings were:
William L. b 13 May 1817
Laura A. b 14 Dec 1818
Horace Barton b 19 Nov 1819
Benjamin Franklin b 24 Oct 1820
Elizabeth prob b 1820-25
They were the children of:
Luther HUNTING and Phoebe LEONARD
Charles Wheelock and Benjamin Franklin died in San Joaquin county CA and are buried in Liberty Cemetery, no marker extant for CW, but BF is on Find A Grave.
I agree Chester Baxter died in Amador co CA, as that is where the decree of distribution for his estate is filed. It states there are no minor children, and names Anna Eliza as widow, with family listed as Emma BROWN, Laverna O'NEIL, Annabel ANDREWS, Lorinda M. KERLINGER, Letty PIPER, Charlotte W. SEABURY, and John HUNTING.
The HUNTINGs came to California from Vermont via Iowa and they stayed in Iowa long enough to leave some records.
I have more, on Luther and Phoebe, and the Iowa years.
