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
this list, as he was killed at New Meadows, Brunswick, Maine, by theIndians;
his brothers, Edmund and Gideon, were with him at that time.
