Thomas (b. 1837) was the oldest son of of James and Mary Wheeler, and enlisted early as a Pvt. in the 75th Ohio Volunteer Infantry who saw quite a bit of action early on in the Civil War. He was captured at the Battle of Bull Run and was later released and rejoined the regiment as an Orderly Sergeant. He was soon promoted to 2nd LT, and later still to 1st LT of Co. A, before eventually going into battle at Gettysburg, where on the first day of the Battle he was shot through the wrist.....refusing to leave the field, he was then struck in the groin, and before he could then be removed, was struck once again in the spine.....eventually dying of his wounds on July 28, 1863 in Gettysburg.....his body was shipped home by train to Allegheny Co, PA. The family was later notified of his posthumous promotion to Full CAPTAIN!
By John Vincent Powers, Thomas was the oldest brother of my G.G.Grandfather Robert Wheeler (b. 1845)
