    Notes:

    E. C. ROGER, Arnaudville - E. C. Roger, of the firm of Roger Bros., was born in St. Martin parish in 1845. He spent his school days and received a fair education in this parish. In 1857 he commenced a mercantile business at Breaux Bridge, where he was engaged until 1861. Subsequently he was engaged in the same business at Attenue until 1863. In the spring of this year he joined Captain Hardroger's company of the 7th Louisiana Cavalry in which he served until the close of the war as orderly sergeant. His regiment served in the Trans-Mississippi Department. At the close of the war he returned home and entered the employ of Judge A. L. Durio, with whom he remained two j'ears, and was, subsequently, for a similar length of time, engaged with U. A. Gilbeau, at Arnaudville. One year later he removed to Abbeville, Vermilion parish, and after three years he returned to Breaux Bridge and entered the mercantile business with J. Plonsky; afterward he became a member of the firm of Melason & Roger, at Breaux Bridge. During the time he was there he served twice as alderman and once as mayor of the town. In 1874 he removed to this place and, in partnership with his brother, began a mercantile business, which they have since continued. He has here served as mayor and alderman, and is one of the leading spirits in all public matters. He was appointed post-master in 1874 and in this capacity has since served. Besides their large mercantile interests at this place, Messrs. Roger Bros, own a large amount of land in St. Landry and adjoining parishes. E. C. Roger was married, in 1872. to Miss Anna Hinckley, of Washington. They have become the parents of two children, Frank M. and George L., both of whom are now in Centenary College, Jackson, Louisiana.

    Name:
    Orramel or Oramel. Hinckley is sometimes spelled Hinkley.

    Obituary:
    It is with deep feeling of regret that we announce the demise of Capt. O. Hinckley, who died - after a lingering illness of several months - at his residence in Washington, on Tuesday last, at the age of 55 years.

    Capt. Hinckley was too well and favorable known lor us to repeat here his good qualities. His disiuterestedness, his simple and open urbanity of manners, and oilier qualities of the heart will long he remembered by many.

    Capt. Hinckley came to our parish about thirty years ago, most of which time he was interested in our steamboat navigation. He leaves a family and a large, circle of friends to whom his remembrance will ever be dear.

Generation: 4

  1. 12.  Charles Hinckley was born on 7 Jan 1790 in Thetford, Orange, Vermont, USA (son of Colonel Oramel Hinckley and Lydia Strong); died after 1816 in Vincennes, Knox, Indiana, USA.

    Notes:

    After the settlement of his father's estate, Charles who owned the home place sold out and moved to Vincennes, Indiana, where he and his wife both died of the diseases of the country and their only son Oramel was taken possession of by a Mr. Wood and was removed to Mobile, Alabama, together with the property of which Wood had possession. This Oramel is eventually settled in Louisiana and is the progenitor of the Louisiana Hinckleys. ["Orramel Hinckley and Family Papers, Mss. 1151, 1317, 970"; LSU Special Collections.]

    Arthur Latham Hinckley, Jr. notes that he has a letter written by Caroline (Hinckley) Latham to Orramel Strong Hinckley. In this letter Caroline writes that Orramel & Lydia (Strong) Hinckley died within a few weeks of each other and since Charles was the oldest, it was thought best for him to have the homestead and make a home for his sisters and brothers. He married the following spring (1812). Caroline left home when Oramel was about 3 yeras old. Not long afterwards, Charles "removed to the West."

    Died:
    Although some sources state that Charles Hinckley died in 1814, this date cannot be correct if his son Orramel Hinckley was born in 1816. No hard evidence has been found for Charles' death and a death date of sometime after 1816 is the best available at this time.
