Through both the Wilder and Gamble families, we are descended from soldiers who fought in the American Revolution. Here are links to several of these men.
Daniel Hosmer, Jr. (Wilder ancestor)
Jacob Baker and his sons (Wilder ancestor)
Silas Wood (Wilder ancestor)
Captain Robert Smith (Wilder ancestor)
James Haggerty (Gamble/Hathaway ancestor)
These are all direct ancestral grandparents. We are also related to Joseph Hosmer, second in command of the American militia at Concord Bridge, and Abner Hosmer, one of the two Americans killed at Concord Bridge.
