George Wheeler married a Catherine Pin on June 30, 1630 in Cranfield, Bedfordshire, England.

George was an early settler of Concord: The first record of his name is in 1640. He appears to have been a person of some influence, and his name appears often on town records. He was selectman in 1660.

George's house lot of 11 acres was at the (present) corner of Main and Walden Streets in Concord, and in conjunction with Capt. Timothy Wheeler, who I think was very probably his nephew, he owned a large amount of land in the center of the town. He had also land near the “frog-ponds” and at Walden Pond, and at Nut Meadow Brook.

His exact date of death is not recorded but his will was dated January 28, 1684/5 and presented for probate June 2, 1687. (Suffolk Prob. Reg. Vol. X fol. 1). His sons Thomas and John were named executors, but the former had died between the above dates and John was named sole executor. The will names “the children of my son William deceased, sons Thomas and John, daughters Elizabeth Fletcher, Sarah Dudley, Ruth Hartwell and Hannah Fletcher."
