    NOTES: According to Charles N Sinnett's book, "Ancestor Samuel Hinckley
    and Descendants," (his sources being the "History of Barnstable, Mass," as
    well as from Hinckley descedants) on p. 21 he states: In the records of
    several Maine towns where he lived he is mentioned as Deacon Samuel
    Hinckley. In April 1719, Samuel Hinckley and wife Mary were dismissed
    from the Harwich Massachusetts Church, to unite with the Truro
    Massachusetts Congregational Church. He removed to Biddeford Maine in
    1729-30, and remained there for a few years. York County Maine Records
    state that he bought at Biddeford Maine, 29 Aug 1735, 33 acres of land of
    James Kent for 115 pounds. He was one of the several persons associated
    together for forming the First Congregational Chunch at Biddeford Maine of
    which Church he was chosen Deacon. He signed the Covenant of the First
    Church of Biddeford Maine, 4 Aug 1730. In 1739, he was located at New
    Meadows, Brunswick, Maine. He was Selectman of Brunswick Maine,
    1739-1743. Representative to the General Court of Massachusetts, 1747.
    The History of Barnstable Massachusetts gives the names of only his first
    seven children. The other children are given in Dr. Wheeler's History of
    Brunswick, Topsham, and Harpswell, Maine. A list of the Hinckley's who
    were at New Meadows, Brunswick, Maine in 1739: Deacon Samuel, Seth,
    Shubael, Edmund, Aaron, Gideon, and Edward. The son, Isaac, is not givenin
