Series I. Estate Administration contains materials concerning the administration of a number of individuals' estates, including Stephen G. Wheatland. Stephen appears to have been an administrator or trustee for a few different estates, including those of Captain Timothy Bryant, Robert E. Bemis, and Martha Bemis. This series has been divided into four subseries. Subseries A. Timothy Bryant contains materials from Stephen Wheatland's trusteeship of Captain Timothy Bryant's (1787-1870) estate. Stephen's father was a ship master on some of Bryant's ships. Subseries B. Bemis contains materials from Stephen Wheatland's management of the Bemis family estate. It appears that Stephen's brother in-law, David Pingree (1841-1932) took over the management of the Bemis estate after Stephen's death, as some of the later estate correspondence is addressed to him. Subseries C. Other contains materials from Stephen's management of other individuals' estates. Subseries D. contains materials relating to the administration of Stephen's estate after his death.
