    Notes:

    Governor Thomas Hinckley is the third great grand uncle of Captain Orramel Hinckley of Washington, Louisiana. In 1634/35, when he was about sixteen, he immigrated to Massachusetts with his family aboard the Pilgrim ship know as the “Good ship Hercules of Sandwich” or “Hercules of Dover”. He travelled with his parents and three sisters Susannah, Sarah, Mary.
    He was the governor of the Plymouth Colony and held several other governmental positions during his lifetime. Towards the end of the reign of King James II, New England was constituted a Vice-Royalty, with a governor and council. Thomas was nominated to the latter by James II. After the fall of James II, Vice-Royalty was abolished, and Thomas assumed the governorship. He was the first deputy governor in 1680 and governor from 1681 to 1692, when the Massachusetts Charter absorbed the old Colony.

    Notes:

    Samuel Hinckley is the common ancestor of all Hinckleys in this country. In 1628 it appears by the colony records that Elder Nathaniel Tilden, of Tenterden, purchased lands in Scituate, Massachusetts. In the spring of 1635 Samuel Hinckley, Elder Nathaniel Tilden, John Lewis, and James Austin, of Tenterden, in the County of Kent, in England, and several other families from that County, making a company of 102, counting men, women, children and servants, resolved to emigrate to New England. They sailed from Sandwich in the ship Hercules.

    Samuel Hinckley brought with him his wife Sarah and four children, and immediately after his arrival in Boston went to Scituate and built a house which was known as No. 19 on Kent street. Samuel Hinckley continued to reside in Scituate until 1640, when he sold his house, farm and meadows, and relocated to Barnstable, Massachusetts. His house lot was bounded south by his son Thomas', and west by Rowley's pond, near which he built his house, a small one-story building, with a thatched roof. He was one of the original founders of West Barnstable, where he owned one of the best farms in the town.
