1805 Somersham, Huntingdonshire 1839 Chatteris, Cambridgeshire 1841 Slade End, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire 1851 Slade End, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire as WHETON Committed September 1821 on suspicion of sheep stealing CAMBRIDGE INDEPENDENT PRESS 23rd March 1822 Phillip WHEATON the younger, charged with stealing one wether sheep, value £l, 14s. the property of Mr Thomas PEACOCK, St Ives in this county, on 30th of July last.- Mr. Thos. PEACOCK, stated he had lost a sheep out of his drove; James EUSTON, his driver stated the same, and on being cross-examined said he had received £l. 14s. of his wife, which WHEATON, sen. had paid to his wife for a sheep, which he said his son had bought of witness. but which witness said he had not, and that his master returned the £l. 14s. this morning. - G SKEELS saw prisoner driving some sheep from St Ives towards Chatteris, and he took a single sheep off the road, which he stated he had left there knocked up: LEACH apprehended prisoner at Meldrith, in Cambridgeshire, where he was a journey-man butcher. - Not Guilty. Philip WHEATON the elder, aged 42, charged with having on the 30th July last, received of P. WHEATON, the younger, one wether sheep, (knowing the same to have been feloniously stolen) value £l. 14s; the property of Mr. Thomas PEACOCK. - Prosecution withdrawn. The information about the family of Philip WHEATON and Ann JAMES is confusing. Philip was baptised in Somersham on the 18th July 1777. He was buried on the 22nd August 1853 in Chatteris which should have made him 76 years old. However, in the Chatteris Parish Register he is shown as aged 82 years. His wife had died previously and his older children were either married, or had themselves already died, so perhaps no one in his second family actually knew his age. In 1822 Philip WHEATON senior and Philip WHEATON junior were accused of sheep stealing. In 1841 Philip Piggott WHEATON, a Butcher was living in Back Lane in Chatteris with an Ann GREEN who he married in 1847, giving his father’s name as Philip. Although we cannot find a baptism for Philip Piggott WHEATON, given his middle name, his occupation, his father’s name, where he lived, and the fact that Philip senior had a son of the same name, we are certain that Philip Piggott WHEATON is that son. The only clue as to when he was born is that at the time of his death in 1850 his age was given as 48, which suggests he was born in 1802. Philip WHEATON senior married Elizabeth PIGGOTT in Doddington in 1805, which could, therefore, have been three years after the birth of the first child in the family, the Philip mentioned above. A daughter, Elizabeth was baptised in 1805, a daughter Ann buried as an infant in 1809, and then a daughter Mary, who had been born in 1807, was baptised in 1816. That Philip junior was probably born before his parent’s marriage, that Mary and Ann were not baptised and that Philip junior lived with his wife before marriage all suggest that the lives of this family were not too well regulated and helps confirm that the perceived problems discussed below actually exist! Philip’s wife Elizabeth died in 1814, leaving Philip with a son, aged 12 and two daughters, aged 9 and 7. It would appear that he and his son were in trouble in 1821 when they were in court (See above). Perhaps Philip had looked for someone to help him take care of the children; maybe it was Ann JAMES who he married in December 1839. On the marriage certificate Ann is shown as a spinster, daughter of William JAMES and she would have been about seventeen when Philip’s first wife died. In the December of the year previous to their marriage Ann had given birth to twin sons (who both died), whose births and deaths were registered in the name of WHEATON, although the couple were not married at the time. There were no baptisms or burials for these children in the Chatteris Parish Registers. In 1841 Philip WHEATON was living at Slade End, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire. In the same property, all with the surname WHEATON, were Catherine, Frederick, Jane, Eliza and Thomas, who were all born after the death of his first wife, Elizabeth PIGGOTT, and before his marriage to Ann JAMES. No baptisms for these children in the name of WHEATON or JAMES can be found in the Chatteris Registers. However, in the Chatteris Burial register there are several entries of interest. In 1833 Robert JAMES, illegitimate son of Ann JAMES, and in 1837 three year old Phoebe JAMES, illegitimate daughter of Ann JAMES, were buried. Were these the children of the Ann JAMES who married Philip WHEATON? To support this there is the case of the death in Chatteris of a nineteen year old Ann WHEATON, Butcher, which was registered on the 22nd September 1840, the informant being her mother, Ann WHEATON. However, in the Parish Register, on the 27th September 1840, there was a burial for an Ann JAMES, age 19, illegitimate daughter of Ann JAMES, who must surely be the same person. So, it would seem that an Ann JAMES has several illegitimate children. Was it "our" Ann JAMES? And did these include those living with Philip in 1841, and again in 1851, with the addition of William? It seems more than likely that she is the mother of them all, but is Philip the father? Were there any clues from the children themselves? In 1847 (which is after the 1842 death of Ann) the marriage of Phillip Piggott WHEATON was witnessed by Philip, Catherine and Jane WHEATON, and William JAMES. Was this Ann’s father, or could it have been her son William calling himself at this time William JAMES? In 1850 a William JAMES is a witness at the marriage of Jane James WHEATON. (Where did the James come from?!), but in 1851 it is a William WHEATON who is living with Philip. When Jane James WHEATON married in 1850 the other witness was Frederick James WHEATON, but when her sister married in 1855 (after the death of Philip) one of the witnesses was a Frederick JAMES. Was this the same person as the Frederick WHEATON living with Philip in 1841 and 1851? At the time of the marriages both girls gave Philip WHEATON as their father, as did their brother Thomas James WHEATON when he married Drusilla LATSON in 1858, after the death of Philip. So, whilst the children were young (in 1841) were they called WHEATON, but as they grew older they first started calling themselves James WHEATON, and then eventually JAMES? Catherine continued to call herself "Catherine WHEATON" all her life until she died in 1881. But what of the other children? We have been unable to find a marriage for Frederick James WHEATON, nor deaths for William, Frederick James, Thomas James or Drusilla WHEATON. Perhaps the entries are in the name of JAMES. On the other hand, their sister, Jane James WHEATON went to America, so perhaps her brothers went too. The only other clue is to be found when Jane James WHEATON and George GREEN baptised their first child in Chatteris, before Philip died, as "Catherine Elizabeth ROWE alias GREEN (WHEATON erased) daughter of Jane JAMES and Henry ROWE alias George GREEN". It would seem that Jane at least had decided that Philip was not her father! However, we have now (2/12/2003) been sent details from America of the death of Catherine Elizabeth. And she gives her parents names as Henry ROWE and Jane WHEATON! Confused? So are we! 1805 Doddington, Cambridgeshire There is an Elizabeth PIGGOT baptism 22 April 1778 in Mepal, Cambridgeshire Parents Joseph and Honour PIGGOT Siblings Mary baptised 16 April 1780 and Sarah baptised 19 January 1783 both Mepal, Cambridgeshire 1839 Chatteris, Cambridgeshire 1841 Slade End, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire Father - William James - Hair Dresser 1841 Back Lane, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire Quarter Sessions Books 15th January 1822 Philip WHEATON the elder & Philip WHEATON the younger Committed September 1821 on suspicion of sheep stealing CAMBRIDGE INDEPENDENT PRESS 23rd March 1822 Phillip WHEATON the younger, charged with stealing one wether sheep, value £l, 14s. the property of Mr Thomas PEACOCK, St Ives in this county, on 30th of July last.- Mr. Thos.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
