THIE WHEELER FAMILY.
1
THOMAS WHEELER was in Concord with a family in 1640, and in 1775, accompanied Capt. Hutchinson, himself then a Captain, with about twenty men to Quaboag, now Brookfield, to treat with the Indians. They were there drawn into an ambush, and suddenly fired upon by the perfidious Indians, and eight of their number were in- stantly killed. Capt. Hutchinson was mortally wounded, and died at Marl. soon after. Capt. Wheeler was sorely wounded, had his horse shot under him, and when near being dispatched by the enemy, was rescued by his son, Thomas, he also being wounded, who placed his father upon a horse whose rider was slain, and both succeeded by flight in saving their lives. Capt. Wheeler died in Concord the year following. His son
1- 2 THOMAS WHEELER, whose wife was Hannah -, had John, b. in Concord, 1661, and perhaps other children born there; but soon after settled in Marl. See Ward's Shrewsbury.
