Thomas Wheeler was probably the brother of Capt. Timothy Wheeler and GEORGE WHEELER.
He married Hannah Harrod (Harwood) on October 10, 1657 in Concord, Massachusetts.
In 1668 the town of Concord leased 200 acres of upland and 60 acres of meadow for 20 years to Captain Thomas Wheeler with the condition that a herd of 50 cattle shall be kept for the inhabitants of Concord by him yearly. He agreed to build a shingled house "40 feet by 18 and 12 stud" with two chimneys and a barn to be left for the use of the town after the 20 year lease expired.

The Horse Company of Concord was organized October 13, 1669, and Thomas Wheeler was appointed 1st Captain and commanded the company until his death.

Captain Edward Hutchinson was appointed to negotiate a treaty with the Indians and Captain Thomas Wheeler with about 25 of his company was assigned to guard and assist him. On July 28th 1675 they marched from Cambridge to Sudbury, arriving at Brookfield August first where they were met by a party of Indians. The Indian Sachem agreed to meet the English the next morning at a point a short distance from Brookfield. When they arrived, there were no Indians there and proceeded four or five miles further beside a swamp, when they were attacked by 200 to 300 Indians. Eight of the men were killed by the first firing and three wounded. Captain Thomas Wheeler had two horses shot out from under him and received a ball through his body. His son, whose arm was fractured by a ball, dismounted and placed his wounded father on the horse of a soldier that had been killed. They both escaped on the horse.

Bio from F. B. Trowbridge bookNewton, Massachusetts

"His will dated July 2, 1734 was proved March 18, 1744 (Middlesex County Probate Records, Vol. 22, p. 323)" "William Trowbridge after his marriage went to housekeeping in the end of his father-in-law's house. he engaged in business as a weaver, following this trade for several years. His father-in-law made a gift to him by deed of the west end of his house, 13 acres of land adjoining, and a quarter interest in his gristmill and stream (Smelt brook). He later inherited his father-in-law's homestead of about 40 acres and the mill pasture of about equal area. He also owned 20 acres of woodland and a cider mill and four negro slaves. He was prominent in town affairs and served on various committees. He was chosen one of the first board of overseer of the poor in 1734; was elected a selectman for our terms, from 1736 to 1739; and was lieutenant and later Captain of the town's military company for several years. He was a deacon of the Congregational church in Newton and was one of the donors of its communion service. He was called "gentleman" and "Captain" at the time of his death."
FROM: F. B. Trowbridge. "History of the Trowbridge Family in America", (New Haven, Connecticut: Tuttle, Morehouse and Taylor Co. 1908), p. 507 In a footnote, F. B. Trowbridge discusses the gristmill and stream that Wm. inherited: "John Ward had this from his father-in-law, John Spring, who built the first gristmill in Newton on Smelt brook, near the center of the town." p. 507.
