Notes
Killed by the Indians at Lancaster, Massachusetts. His inventory was dated, 6 November 1695. The History of Lancaster says: 'On a Lord's day morning Mr. Abraham Wheeler, going from the garrison to his own house, on some occasion, was then shot by an enemy that had lain in ambush for him. Though mortally wounded Wheeler wrested the gun from the Indian, and carried it toward the garrison till he was met by his friends.' His home is supposed to have been on the South West slope of Watoquadock, now in Bolton.
