The above Joshua Wheat, in the year 1635, being then seventeen years of age, settled at Concord in Massachusetts, where he acquired title to a house-lot of six acres. In 1640 he gave this land to his brother Moses and returned to England.

The church of Saint Saviours has recently been restored and converted into a cathedral church for South London.

Dr. A. F Wheat of Manchester, N. H. spent several days in October, 1902, examining the records of Saint Saviours and the adjoining Parish of St. Thomas. The records were difficult to decipher. The name Wheate occurs several times between 1610 and 1635, but there is nothing to connect these
