I am looking for information on John Wheeler. He was b. about 1850 in France, Germany, Virginia / West Virginia. He was married to Alethia Susan M Cochran 1869 and resided in Mason & Kanawha counties in West Virginia. Descendents lived in Ohio Valley in both West Virginia & Ohio.

Place of Birth and Death are a mystery to me. Marriage & 1870 Census data for John indicate France; 1870 Census show VA. Later data for children shows father born in Germany.

Any help is greatly appreciated
