The last name you're referring to is "Wheelwright." Rev. John Wheelwright was a prominent figure in the early colonial history of New Hampshire and Maine, having played a significant role in the settlement and governance of these regions. He was a Puritan minister and a founder of Exeter, New Hampshire, and his influence extended to the surrounding areas during the 17th century.
