      Biography
      John Wheeler was married to an Alice, as she was named in his will. Some think she was Alice Sayre, daughter of William Sayre and Alice Squire of Hinwick, Beds. As they already had a documented daughter Alice, some have speculated that they must have had two daughters named Alice. In the absence of a source for a marriage between John Wheeler and Alice Sayre more conservative researchers question that it was Alice Sayre who married John Wheeler and prefer to leave her as Alice
      ------------------------------------------------------------

      The Will of William Sayre dated 15 Feb 1562/3 mentions his daughters Alice and Agnes:
      "I beqth to Alyce west & Agnes makernes my doughters to eche of them half a quarter of malte It'"
      As you can see, neither daughter was married to a Wheeler.

      The Will of Alice Squire Sayre dated 20 Apr. 1567 and was proved 2 Jun 1567. No Wheelers are mentioned! But she does mention her daughter who was married to Robert West, which would have been the daughter Alice mentioned in her husband's will!

      John Wheeler and Alyce (Alice or Alys) Sayer (Sayre) were married about 1560 in Bedfordshire, England.

      Their children

      John Wheeler born about 1563 in Odell, Bedfordshire.

      Thomas Wheeler baptized March 2, 1565 in Maulden, Bedfordshire.

      Alice was the daughter of William Sayre and his wife Alice Squire. She was born in Odell, Bedfordshire, England in 1541. About 1558, she married John Wheeler of Cranfield, Bedfordshire, probably in Odell. John and Alice had two sons, Thomas and John. Alice died in April of 1567 and was buried in the churchyard of St. Peter and St. Paul’s Church in Cranfield on April 15. John died within a day of Alice.

      I question that Alice Sayre who allegedly married John Wheeler was the daughter of William and Alice (Squire) Sayre. Yes, they had a daughter Alice, but in her father's 1563 will and her mother's 1567 will she is referred to as Alice WEST, husband Robert WEST and children John and George WEST. Two different Alices.

      Info provide by David Cooper.

      Alice, the daughter of William and Alice was named as Alice West in her father's will dated 1563, in her mother's will dated 1567 and in her brother's will of 1581. She wasn't the Alice who was the wife of John Wheeler.

      Or if not two Alice's then maybe two husbands.
