Notes

[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 7, Ed. 1, Tree #4588, Date of Import: Aug 24, 1997]

Theophilus Wilder, (4262), son of Theophilus Wilder, (4219), and Mary Hersey, (4259). He was a Captain in the American Revolution.
In the early part of 1777 there was a company in service commanded by Capt. Penniman, of Braintree. The only Hingham name on the roll appears to have been that of Theophilus Wilder, who was 1st. Lieut.
There is another roll, however, of a company serving under command of Capt. Theophilus Wilder, and composed of men from Hingham, Stoughton, and Braintree. This company, like Capt. Penniman's was undoubtedly in Colonel Dike's militia regiment, and probably was in service in the early part of 1777. Capt. Wilder had twenty-eight men with him at first, and the company was afterward increased to fifty-two.
