He moved to Lancaster, then called Nashaway, July 1, 1659. His body was the first buried in a burying-ground which he gave to the town. He had three sons, Thomas, John and Nathaniel; also two daugh- ters, Mary and Elizabeth. According to the inscription on the monu- ment of the immigrant Thomas at Lancaster, it would appear that he settled at Hingham, Mass., in 1641, and went from there to Lancaster; he was a brother of Edward of Hingham.

Hingham (if inscription on his father's monument is true history), Nov. 5, 1650; was killed by the Indians in "Queen Anne's War," at Lancaster, July 31, 1704. Nathaniel and Daniel Hoar once killed an Indian, and were tried and sentenced to be hung, but, on their repentance and confession, were pardoned. Mr. Wilder was in reality a good man and an active and useful citizen. He m. Jan. 24, 1673-4, Mary Sawyer, b. Lancaster, Jan. 4, 1652-3, dau. of Thomas and Mary (Prescott) Sawyer.

Phinehas Wil- der lived in that part of Lancaster which was later included in Sterling. His last two ch. were b. after the incorporation of the town. The ac- count of this family in the Wilder genealogy which has been published is erroneous and defective from first to last. The dates and the names are wrong in many cases.
