Notes:

John Jones was made a freeman with other Concord men on 22 May 1650. In 1723, John Flint, as town clerk of Concord, prepared a list of the proprietors of Concord as of 1666 “who had rights in Acton (Concord Village). Each of the inhabitants of 1666 or 1684 had a 5-acre right which belonged to his heirs or assigns.” This list named “John Jones (for where Samuel Jones lives).”Concord town records list his property, which begins, “26: 10: 1666,” John Jones owned “imp[rimis]: his house lot Eight acres, bounded upon the north by John Smedly, upon the east by Humphrey Barrat upon the south by James Blood and Humphrey Barrat upon the west by the old brooke running from the mill into the river.” It ends with “All these p[ar]cels being by Estimation three hundred fifty-one acres and a halfe be they more or less: 351 acres.” The land was in the “North Quarter” of Concord. Several children, when selling land that had been their father’s, described it as being in the north part of the town. On 10 January 1671/2 “an agreement between Deacon Luke Potter & John Jones, both of Concord [was] made & concluded . . . whereas thereis a purpose of marriage between Samuel Jones son of the sd John Jones & Elizabeth the daughter of the sd Luke Potter, it is agreed between the sd parents that the sd marriage be consummated on the conditions hereunder expressed.” The indenture specified the land, including a house, and “twenty acres of woodland lying in the 400 acres belonging to twenty families on the north side of the South river . . . except the sd John shall see cause to remove to the sd house in his own person or settle it upon his present wife Dorcas at the time of his death.” Soon after this agreement, Samuel Jones and Elizabeth Potter were married at Concord on 16 January 1671/2.The inventory of John Jones’s estate, taken on 17 July 1673 by John Smedly Senr, James Blood Junr, and Edmund Wigly, shows that Jones owned two guns, a pair of pistols, “a payer bandelears, sword and belt,” husbandry utensils, one lead weight, iron tools, taylers utensils, and books. His land under cultivation that summer included 3½ acres of rye, six acres Indian corn, 1½ acres of wheat, and ¼of an acre of flax. His livestock consisted of five oxen, four cows, one bull, two heifers, four steers, three yearlings, two calves, twelve swine, two mares, and a colt.The dwelling house and barn were valued at £60; the eleven acres of land in tillage at £33; an acre of orchard at £8; and twelve acres of meadow at £36. Another 276 acres of unimproved land belonging to the farm was appraised at £70 as well as another twenty-nine acres of “unimproved land at Ralfes” valued at £12. The total, both real and personal, equaled £371 and 9 shillings. - Ann L. Dzindolet, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume 163, April 2009

There is some discrepancy when he actually arrived in the New World. Some suggest he may have arrived in Cambridge in 1635 on the Abigail at age 15 while others suggest he arrived in 1648 when he was 25. He would marry in that same year his wife Dorcas (maiden name unknown) who would give birth to their first child a son Samuel Jones in October of that year. John would relocate his family to Concord, Massachusetts in about 1650. Family lore suggests John came from Wales. Many records and historians identify "England" as his place of birth. However, this reference may not be the geographical location of his birth but rather the country that controlled Welsh society at the time - England. Alternatively the reference may indicate the location where the immigrant ship departed from. - www.findagrave.com

John married Dorcas before 1648. Dorcas died on 22 Nov 1709 in Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Abraham Wheeler was between 16 and 17 years of age at the time of his father's death and the destruction of Lancaster. He accompanied his mother to Concord when the town was abandoned and afterward to Dedham. Later he returned to Lancaster where he remained untilthis death. He was a member of the "Western Regiment of Middlesex County" his name appearing on the rolls as late as March 18 1691-2.
History says that Abraham was shot by an Indian one Sabbath morning in November 1695 while going between the fort and his house. Although mortallywounded he succeeded in wrestling the gun from the Indian and ran with it towardthe fort until he was met by a party who went out to his relief. At the same time his wife Tabitha Wheeler was taken prisoner by the Indians. - http://family.gradeless.com/wheeler.htm
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. - 'History of the Wheeler Family in America', 1914, Albert Gallatin Wheeler, Jr., p 498.
