Two valuable resources validate my ancestry; The Book Of Wilders by Rev. Moses Wilder 1878 (revised edition 1963) compiled by Edwin M. Wilder, M. D. Sacramento, California, and The History Of The Town Of Hingham Massachusetts The Genealogies, by George Lincoln, published by the Town in 1893. These authors and their families are owed our applause and respect.

It is believed that Nicholas Wilder (or Wyldar) was a German soldier in the army of the Earl of Richmond, the Lancastrian claimant to the throne of England who landed at Milford Haven and defeated Richard the III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. The Earl of Richmond then became King Henry VII. On the 15th of April 1497 as a token of his esteem and a reward for his service gave Nicholas a landed estate and a Grant of Arms.
This estate at Sulham and Nunhide is still in the Wilder family, just west of Reading, England, I was there in 2005.
