The term Alsnaline applies to the 16 acre "close" at Wharley End, Cranfield called GREAT AUSTEN ALLEN lying on the border of North Crawly, Buckinghamshire.

This Thomas Wheeler had 25 1/2 acres at Wharley End including 8 3/4 acres at Bailey Gates, also lying on the border with Buckinghamshire. IN addition to that , he held from George Purrier, another 8 1/4 acres with the house and "closes". No will has been found for this Thomas , the grouping of his children at Cranfield has been determined from working backwards from Richard and George and attributing those children of Thomas Wheeler who did not fit into the families of the other Thomas Wheeler's, this was done by the few remaining Wheeler descendants found in 1994 living in Cranfield from documents in their possessions.

• THE WHEELER GENEALOGY.THE WHEELER FAMILY OF CRANFIELD, BEDFORDSHIRE SETTLERS OF COLONIAL NEW ENGLAND Volume 3 The Descendants of Thomas Wheeler of Town End, Cranfield, Bedfordshire. Compiled By Raymond David Wheeler Research Edition. KINSYSTEMS Dolgeville, New York. < PDF > “… Fortunately, the entry for one of those children identified this third Thomas Wheeler as Thomas Wheeler, "of the Town End" at the baptism of his son Richard on 13 June 1614. Each of the other four children fit into a logical sequence to form a family unit distinct from that of Thomas Wheeler of Bourne End and his son Thomas Wheeler of Wharley End. It is the family of Thomas Wheeler of the Town End [also of Austen Allen Close], that we cover in this volume.”
