One of the original settlers of South Bristol. Migrated from Connecticut around 1789.
"In 1789 the pioneer settlement of the town [of Bristol] began, the first honor in connection therewith naturally falling to Gamaliel Wilder, although he was accompanied by quite a colony of pioneer Yankees. Besides Wilder were his sons, Daniel, Jonas, Joseph and Asa, Theophilus Allen and wife, Jonathan, John and Nathan Allen, Jeremiah Spicer, Aaron Rice, Jared Tuttle, Elisha Parish, and a few others whose names have not been preserved, as members of the colony. These families located in various sections of the town and at once set about clearing and improving their lands and building houses and other necessary buildings."
