III. FAMILY OF OLIVER WILDER.
The first four in the line of the lineal ancestors of Oliver Wilder were the same as the first four in each of the two Wilder families which we have already described. OLIVER5 WILDER, son of Col. Oliver4, was b. at Lancaster, Mass., Mar. 7, 1719-20, according to the published Lan- caster records. The published Wilder Genealogy has May 17, but is more unreliable than the Lancaster records. He d. Sept. 2, 1787, and lived in what is now Sterling. His death is on the Lancaster 1st church records. He m. (1), Jan. 16, 1739-40, Sarah Townsend, b. Lancaster, Oct. 18, 1717, d. there, Dec. 9,1743; dau. of Hezekiah and Sarah Town- send. He m. (2), (published Aug. 25, 1744), Ruth Russell of Bolton. According to the Wilder Genealogy he m. (3), a woman named Rebecca. This is wrong. The author confused this Oliver with his father, Col. Oliver, whose 2nd wife was Mrs. Rebecca Barnes of Chelmsford. The
1461
WILDER.
"relict" of Oliver Wilder, undoubtedly Ruth, d. Lancaster, Apr. 6, 1792. Ch. of Oliver and Sarah were: Ezra, b. Lancaster (probably in the part now Sterling), May 27, 1741; Oliver; Sarah. Ch. of Oliver and Ruth were: Samuel, Tamar (who was the 3rd wife of Abijah Wilder of Keene), Ruth and Mary. VI. EZRA6 WILDER, son of Oliver5, b. Lancaster, May 27, 1741, lived in Bolton, Mass., and later as early as 1782 in Jaffrey, N. H. Abt. 1809 he moved to Peterborough; was one of the men furnished by Jaffrey to the Revolution. According to the Wilder Genealogy, as well as the record given me by the family, he m. in 1762 Betsey (called Betty) Welch (sometimes written, probably erroneously, Welsh). The history of Jaffrey gives the name of his wife as Jerusha Welch Alexander. It may have been a second wife. The same History mentions that he m. again in Peterboro to Jerusha Hogg. The ch of Ezra and Betty were: Ezra, Silas, Betsey, Mary and Oliver, 1, who was b. at Bolton, Mass., June 17, 1775; where perhaps the other ch. were born. Wilder's book of the Wilders has a very imperfect sketch of this family.
1. OLIVER7 WILDER, son of Ezra6, m. in 1804, Betsey Hodge (old spelling was Hogg), b. Jaffrey, Jan. 4, 1779, d. S., Dec. 23, (sic) 1856; dau. of Joseph and Elizabeth (Alexander) Hodge. Feb. 3, 1804, he bought the farm where Addison N. Wilder recently lived; he d. in Nelson, Jan. 4, 1859. His first ch. was b. Jaffrey, and the rest in S .: 1. Oliver8, b. July 18, 1805, 2. 2.
