• Notes

  [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 7, Ed. 1, Tree #4588, Date of Import: Aug 24, 1997] Thomas Wilder,11113232 (25) son of John Wilder, 1111323 and Hannah, see page 7-19, was a farmer of Six Nations, now the town of Clinton, married Susannah Hunt, and left two sons and two daughters. Jotham, his son, succeeded him, and left a numerous posterity. Thomas and wife owned the Covenant of the church in 1718 and had two sons and four daughters baptized at the same time. They lived in South East Clinton, Massachusetts and there built a house, the cellar excavation of which was still to be seen in 1896, although later it was covered by the Metropolitan reservoir. "While all the inhabitants of this region had served as soldiers in the home guard from the first settlement to the close of Queen Anne's War, the Wilder family have the honor of furnishing the first soldiers from the present Clinton territory for distant expeditions."
