Wheeldon, Elizabeth (née Hunt)
1796-1841/44?

She was a PM itinerant for one year (1822), before marrying Richard Wheeldon, a Belper local preacher. On his death in 1826 she returned to the itinerancy in Darlaston, then in 1832 in Shefford Circuit, where she faced much persecution, being hit in the eye with a stone. In 1835 she married a fellow itinerant, Samuel West, and they virtually exercised a joint ministry. She died in the early 1840s, after 'four months' affliction'.
