RESEARCH NOTES

NOTE: The "Wilder And Connecting (Especially Ware) Families In The Southeastern States", Third Edition, 1969, by William Murtha Wilder (referred to here as the "Wilder Book"), on page 231, states that Job Wilder is a son of Michael Wilder and Ann Culpepper Wilder. This information is not correct, Job Wilder is the son of Nathaniel Wilder and Nathaniel's second wife whose name is unknown. Job Wilder married before 1729, probably in Lancaster County, Virginia, Elizabeth Jones.
