Talk:Laban Wheaton

Children category
Under children, only his son is listed. I added his daughter’s name into the text but couldn’t add it under the Children heading. Can this be fixed? Brittain scholar (talk) 15:49, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Warren L. Wheaton, namesake of the Wheaton College in Illinois, was the third great-grandson of the same Rev. Ephraim Wheaton:

Thus, the two Wheaton Colleges in the U.S. are named for moderately distant cousins in the same family. AvidReader11663 (talk) 20:06, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
