He was born in Virginia, son of Zachariah Wheat. He married Cynthia Stinson on November 13, 1814 in Madison Co., Alabama. "In
Memory of Elder Samuel Wheat who departed this life 23 November 1866,
aged 79 years and 1 day. Elder Wheat had been an old-school
Baptist from his youth and a Minister of the Cross for fifty years.
Standing firm amidst the siftings and schisms among the Churches,
the fearless advocate of Virginia immigrated to Alabama, then to
Tennessee, then to Arkansas, then to Texas in 1847, making his first
discourse to Pilot Grove Church in Grayson County to which he mad his
last a few days before his death."
