General Notes: Husband - Gov. Thomas Hinckley
He joined the Plymouth colony with his parents about 1635, settled first at Scituate, and in 1639 removed to Barnstable. He was elected a deputy of the colony in 1645, representative in 1647, and served as magistrate and assistant, 1658-80, as commissioner, 1673-92, and as councillor, 1692-1705. He became governor of the Plymouth colony on the death of Governor Josiah Winslow in 1680, and except during Governor Andros' administration, 1687-91, he governed the colony until its union with the Massachusetts Bay colony in 1692. He kept a diary of his life, and collected valuable information about the affairs of Plymouth colony. Three volumes of his writings, belonging to the "Old South" collection of the Rev. Thomas Prince, were placed in the Boston Public Library in 1866. He was a man of good common sense, and of sound judgment; honest and honorable in all his dealings; industrious and persevering, and was the best read lawyer in the colony. He was a rigid Independent in religion, and his tolerant opinions, though in advance of his time, did not come up to the standard of later years.
General Notes: Wife - Mary Smith
She was the only child of Quartermaster Smith by his first wife, formerly of Lancashire, England, and afterward of Dorchester, in New England.
She died at Barnstable, Massachusetts, "to ye day of her death appeared and shown in ye eyes of all as ye loveliest and brightest woman for beauty, knowledge, wisdom, majesty, accomplishment, and graces, through-out the Colony."
