  FAMILY: From p. 379 of Birth Records of Brunswick: Aaron Hinckley and Mary Larrabee, his wife's, children: Isabella, Benjamin, Reliance, Lois, Nathaniel, Theophilus, Stephen, Aaron (Jr.), John, Mary, Jeremiah, Rachel. [Sinnett lists children as Benjamin who died young, John, Isabella,Susanna, Polly, Benjamin (who m. Esther Sargent and died at Monmouth), Aaron, and Ann Maria (who married John Dunning Stanwood in 23 Oct 1850 [No way, the ages can't be right for that, unless they married in old age])] !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. 25-6 he states: Dr Wheeler in his History of Brunswick, Topsham and Harpswell, Maine, 'Judge Aaron Hinckley was one of the most noted men of Brunswick Maine, in his day. Of his personal appearance and manner nothing is known. But he is said to have had but one eye. The tradition which accounts for the loss of his othereye is, "A tame Indian in the employ of his father was one day holding him inhis lap, and accidentally dropped a live coal from his pipe into the boy'seye, totally destroying the sight of it." He was a man of good judgement, and was often engaged in the service of the town, either on committees or as a Selectman, in which capacity he served in the years: 1745, 1750, 1755, 1759, and 1760. In 1775, he was one of the Judges of the Court of Sessions for Lincoln County Maine. In 1764, when Topsham Maine was incorporated, as a town, Judge Aaron Hinckley was directed to issue the warrant for the first town meeting. In his religious views he was a Congregationalist. He was very severe in his opposition to the Presbyterians. He lived where Benjamin Larrabee was living in 1854.' Mentions of his work in the Lincoln County Maine Probate Records, 'Aaron Hinckley took the inventory of the estate of Hezekiah Purinton of Georgetown Maine, 16 Jan 1762; with James Thompson and Isaac Snow of Brunswick Maine, 1 Dec 1764; Aaron Hinckley signed the will of Benjamin Thompson of Georgetown Maine with Jane Hinckley, Tobias Ham, and Benjamin Ham, 17 Nov 1768; Aaron Hinckley took the inventory of the estate of Samuel Harnden, late of Woolwich Maine, with John Stinson and David Gilmore, 9 Jul 1771; Aaron Hinckley signed the will of Charles Robertson of Topsham Maine with Ezra Randall, Joseph Foster, and Joseph Randall, 4 Feb 1779; Aaron Hinckley signed the will of John Mustard of Topsham Maine, with George Heddean an John O. Orr.' [His wife] a woman of truly sterling qualities. MILITARY: DAR Patriot Index, CS Aaron, b. 9-13-1715 d. 1793, M. Mary Larrabee Hon. Aaron HINCKLEY Esq.
