Notes

BIOGRAPHY: The following was found on http://www.gendex.com/users/hhadaway/harry/nti12835.htm: BIOGRAPHY: HINCKLEY, SAMUEL-His English origins are shown by Elizabeth French, "Genealogical Research in England-Hinckley," NEHGR 65:287, 314, 68:186). He was of Tenterden, Kent, and came to New England in the Hercules in March 1634/35, accompanied by his wife Sarah and four unnamed children. He lived in Scituate, but apparently did not become a member of Lothrop's church, for only his wife is shown as having joined, being recorded as "Goody Hinckley" on 30 August 1635. They had a daughter Elizabeth baptized at Scituate 6 September 1635 (NEHGR 9:281-82). Samuel became a freeman 2 January 1637/38, and on the same date he was a trial juror (PCR 1:74). On 4 December 1638 he was among several men of Scituate who were presented for receiving strangers into their houses without license from the government (PCR 1: 106). On 4 June 1639 he was a grandjuror (PCR 1:126). Since his son Samuel was baptized at Barnstable on 24 July 1642 (NEHGR 9:282), it would appear that he accompanied Lothrop in the move there. On 5 June 1644 he was a highway surveyor for Barnstable (PCR 2:72), a position he held many times, He dated his will 8 October 1662, proved 4 March 1662/63, and he named his wife Bridget (second wife, Bridget Bodfish); sons Thomas, Samuel, and John; daughters Susanna, Sarah, Mary, and Elizabeth; his son Thomas's children Samuel, Mary, Thomas, Bathsheba, and others unnamed; and Samuel and Jonathan Cobb, sons of his daughter Cobb; and he named son BIOGRAPHY: Source: Plymouth Colony Its History & People 1620 - 1691by Eugene Aubrey Stratton
