There is no known blood relationship between John Sillin and Horris Wheeler. It is assumed that the newly married Horace and Mary Jane were helping the older couple with farm chores prior to relocating to Auglaize County. Once in Auglaize, Horace was living near John P. Sillin, son of John and Sarah, and it was at Horace's barn raising that William P. Morey was fatally injured. John P. Sillin was married to Hannah Patterson; Hannah sister's Rebecca was married to William P. Morey and Horace Wheeler was the nephew of William P. Morey. Almon Wheeler is believed to be the brother of Horace Wheeler, both were sons of William Wheeler and Laura Morey.

1862 Estate:2512 On 2 July 1862, Almon's widow Anneliza and his brothers Horace and William S. Wheeler all relinquished the right to administer Almon's estate. His personal property was sold at public auction on 26 July 1862. This researcher believes the most likely explanation is that the 1863 tombstone date was difficult to read or not transcribed accurately.
