From the book History of Walworth County Wisconsin, by Albert Clayton Beckwith, 
publ. 1912 - Page 567
 
ISAAC UNDERHILL WHEELER was born at Oyster Bay, Long Island, in 1787; was 
apprenticed to a carpenter; raised a company for the war of 1812-15; had some 
experience as a justice of the peace; came to Whitewater in 1840 and became one 
of that city's active and substantial citizens.  From 1840 to his death, 
February 9, 1870, he served as justice of the peace with but one interval - 
that of his postmastership under the Taylor-Fillmore administration.  This 
unbroken public service tells something of the man.  He married in 1875 Lavina 
DUNCAN, who died in 1835, leaving six children.  Of these were Sarah (Mrs. 
Jesse R. KINNE); Mary Ann (Mrs. Gaylord GRAVES); Harriet (Mrs. Daniel 
SALISBURY); Elizabeth A. (Mrs. S. Buel EDWARDS); and sons Egbert and William 
H.  Mr. WHEELER married, second, January 26, 1837, Nancy PALMER (1810-1890).
