  • Notes 
    • From FindaGrave:

      John is the son of Samuel Hinckley (Twin) and Sarah Miller. Intent to marry was filed on 16 Nov 1754 but they did not marry until 1764 so a few children were born before they married, which was not uncommon at that time.

      They are the parents of ten children, all born in Georgetown Sagadahoe Co.,ME.:

      William Hinckley-Abt 1754

      John Hinckley-24 Feb 1764
      Miller Hinckley-21 Nov 1765-13 May 1828-Rachel Whitney

      Hannah Hinckley-10 Jun 1772-John Dinsmore
      Sarah Hinckley-14 Aug 1774
      Mahitable Hinckley-29 Oct 1776
