    • Richard Wheeler admitted as townsman in Dedham Nov 1, 1646. Lived in that part of Dedham which was set off to from Medford and later removed to Lancaster where he built a garrison house at which he was massacred by Indians Feb 10, 1676. Thirty persons were identified as killed in the massacre or in captivity with probably six or seven others slain at the same time. Names of whom have not been found. The town was abandoned for a number of years. After his death his widow married in Dedham, Dec 22, 1677, Joseph Rice of Marlboro.
