Henry Wheaton

Henry Wheaton (1785-1848) of Providence, Rhode Island, graduated from the Baptist Baptist college at Providence (now Brown University). Wheaton met Thomas Mullett and J. J. Evans during the former’s stay in London in 1806. Wheaton, Mullett and Evans shared numerous friends in Providence, including prominent members of the Murray, Tillinghast, Bowen, and Bucklin families, some of which had Baptist connections.  See Timothy Whelan, “From Thomas Mullett to Charles Dickens, Jr.: Creating, Sustaining and Expanding a West Country-London Baptist Circle.” Baptist Quarterly 48.2 (2017), 78-100.
