• Notes

  [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 7, Ed. 1, Tree #4588, Date of Import: Aug 24, 1997] John Wilder,1111323 (9) son of Thomas Wilder,111132 (2), see page 6-15, and Anna Eames, at the Indian war he fled to Charlestown, where two of his children were baptized. We know not when he returned to Lancaster, but that is supposed to have been the place of his abode, and we know not the time of his death. He was one of the original proprietors of the town of Worcester, but it is not known that he ever resided there. He had six children, four sons and two daughters, most of whom lived in South Lancaster, then known as Six Nations, and now the town of Clinton, from which it is supposed that their father's home was there. He married Hannah Atherton, daughter of James Atherton. "Records of the Founders and early Settlers of Plymouth, Vermont," states his marriage date as May 17, 1672. LDS shows his date of death as January 9, 1681, this is before his last child was born. SOURCE: The Book of The Wilders, 3rd Printing, 1998, The Line of Thomas Wilder, page 2 A farmer of Lancaster. At the Indian War, he fled to Charlestown with one son and two more children were born there. They soon returned to Lancaster. He had holdings in South Lancaster, then known as "Six Nations" and now as the town of Clinton. Married May (or July) 17, 1672 at Lancaster, Mass.
