General Notes: Husband - Samuel Hinckley

---

The original progenitor of the Hinckley family in America was Samuel Hinckley, a native of England. In the spring of 1635 Mr. Tilden, Samuel Hinckley, John Lewis and James Austin, of Tenterden, county Kent, England, and several other families from that county, making a company of one hundred and two, counting men, women, children and servants, resolved to emigrate to New England. In the latter part of March they sailed from Sandwich in the ship "Hercules," two hundred tons, Captain John Witherly. Samuel Hinckley brought with him his wife Sarah and four children, and immediately after his arrival in Boston went to Scituate, erecting a house on Kent street. He resided there until July, 1640, when he sold his house, farm and meadows, and removed to Barnstable. Subsequently he was among the first to remove to West Barnstable, where he was the owner of a fine farm, which he cultivated to a high state of perfection. In 1637 he took the freeman's oath, and he served in the capacity of juryman and surveyor of highways, and was one of the granters of the lands at Suckinesset.
In his will, dated October 8, 1662, he gives to his wife Bridget the use of his house, a garden and some land, his two cows, Prosper and Thrivewell, and "all the household stuff she brought with her." His personal estate was apprised at £162 16s., and he had a large real estate.
