The War of 1812 was a conflict between the United States and Great Britain, lasting from 1812 to 1815. It was primarily fueled by issues such as trade restrictions due to Britain's ongoing war with France, impressment of American sailors into the British Navy, and British support of Native American tribes against American expansion. The war ended with the Treaty of Ghent, restoring pre-war boundaries but resolving few of the initial disputes.1817 Birth of ChildIsaac WHEELER was born 19 June 1817, Garland, Maine, USA

Temperance Reform
In the year 1828 or 1829, Isaac Wheeler, Esq., one of Garland's pioneers, was at work in his field, on what is now known as the Foss farm. At work with him, was Joseph True, Jr., then scarcely more than a boy. On the opposite side of the road was the house where the Clark family now resides, which was then occupied by the Rev. Isaac E. Wilkins, Garland's first settled minister.
A county temperance society had been organized
embracing in its membership some of the most prominent men in the county. The subject was a theme for discussion in many of the towns. Mr. Wheeler and young True had an earnest conversation upon the subject which resulted in their going to Mr. Wilkins with the request that he would write a pledge, which he cheerfully consented to do. The three men signed it and from this transaction emerged Garland's first temperance society.
