Wilma, You have taken on quite a choice trying to sort out the Hingham LINCOLNs. There were 8 LINCOLN progenitor/immigrants who settled in Hingham. Here are the ones I have in my db: (1) Thomas/1 ( - 1692) and (2) his brother Stephen/1 ( - 1658) immigrated on the "Deligient in 1638. (3) Thomas/1 LINCOLN (-1691) immigrated in c1635 and settled in Hingham. (4) Samuel/1 LINCOLN (1622-1690) immigrated in 1637, lived 1st in Salem and then settled in Hingham. (5) Sgt Daniel LINCOLN/1 (1619-1699) settled in Hingham. I believe I've read that there were a total of **4** Thomas LINCOLNs who settled in Hingham and they are referred to by their occupation in order to keep them straight. Abraham LINCOLN's ancestry traces to the Hingham LINCOLNs. I believe???? Samuel/1 LINCOLN (1622-1690) was the immigrant/progenitor of ol' Abe via his son Mordecai/2, Mordecai/3, John/4, Abraham/5, Thomas/6, Ol' Abe/6. My sources for the early LINCOLN generations are of course Lincoln's History of Hingham, Torrey's Marriages of New England Prior to 1700, and Savage. Here is a brief intro to the Hingham LINCOLNs in: George Lincoln, History of the Town of Hingham, Massachusetts: Vols. II, III, The Genealogies (Somersworth, NH: New England History Press, 1982, originally published 1893), Vol. II, p. 448-449. "Among the earlier settlers of our Hing. were eight persons (males) of mature age bearing this surname, of whom mention is made upon the records of the town. These were Daniel Lincoln the husbandman, who died unm. 3 Apr. 1644, and his brothers Samuel Lincoln, and Thomas Lincoln the weaver; Daniel Lincoln, kn. as 'the your man,' and a 'Sergeant' and 'boatman;' Stephen Lincoln, and his bro. Thomas Lincoln the husbandman; Thomas Lincoln the cooper; and Thomas Lincoln the miller. "Thus there were four Thomases, distinguished from each other by their occupations, as cooper, husbandman, miller, and weaver; two Daniels; Samuel; and Stephen." Okay, to your Hingham LINCOLN quest... >I have some questions, I am hoping someone on the list will have the answer >for me - > >7th gr gu > Daniel 2) LINCOLN was born 2 Jan 1653 at Hingman, Plymouth, Massachusetts - >Daniel died 29 Apr 1732 at Hingham. > > Daniel was the s/o Samuel 1) LINCOLN 1622-1690 and Martha 2) LYFORD >1624/28 - 1693 - they were my 8th gr grandparents This Samuel was brother to the unmarried Daniel and to Thomas the weaver. > Daniel married 23 Jan 1677/8 at Hingham >TO: Elizabeth LINCOLN. > > Elizabeth LINCOLN was a twin to Ruth LINCOLN born 16 Nov 1664 at Hingman, >the children of Thomas 1) LINCOLN [the Husbandman] c1617-1692 and Margaret >LANGER - Hmmm... I have your Eliz. born 2 Dec 1656 and Ruth born 19 Nov 1662 per Lincoln's Hingham, Vol. II, p. 460, Vol III, p. 16, and Savage III, p. 94 From the above it appears this Thomas, the husbandman, was brother to Stephen as you all ready know. > Thomas 1) LINCOLN the husbandman had a brother Stephen 1) LINCOLN 1615-1658 >who married Margaret ------ she d 1649 in Hingham - as did Stephen. > > Thomas and Stephen LINCOLN were the sons of .... Lincoln and Joan .... >Their unknown father died bef 1638 in England - their mother Joan died >after 1658 at Hingham, MA. > >This is what I am looking for - > >1. Daniel 2) LINCOLN md Elizabeth 2) LINCOLN - were they related other than >husband and wife? Not on this side of the big pond from anything said in the sources I have. I wouldn't be surprised if most of these Lincoln immigrant/progenitors prove out eventually to being 2nd or 3rd cousins. >2. Thomas 1) LINCOLN the husbandman >and his brother Stephen 1) LINCOLN - >are they connected to Daniel 2) LINCOLN'S line - which are: > >Daniel 2) LINCOLN 1653-1732 > md Elizabeth 2) LINCOLN 1664- > >Samuel 1) LINCOLN 'the weaver' 1622-1690 > md Martha 2) LYFORD 1624/8-1693 Samuel's brothers were Thomas the weaver and the Daniel that didn't married. >Edward -1) LINCOLN 1580-1640 > md Bridget -1) GILMAN c1582- > >Richard -2) LINCOLN 1550-1620 > md Elizabeth RENSCHING 1563- > >Robert -3) LINCOLN 1525-1556 > md Margaret ALBERYE 1529- > >Robert -4) LINCOLN 1496- > md Joan COWPER c1503- If you haven't done the USGenWeb site for Hingham, I'd highly recommend it: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mahingha/index.html It has links to a transcription/scanning project of Lincoln's History of Hingham. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mahingha/surnames.html I believe some of the LINCOLN section is up: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mahingha/surnames.html#GlossL The LINCOLN section covers from Vol. II p, 448-486 and into Vol. III from p. 3-64 in the original book. BTW, I don't have a direct LINCOLN line, but siblings of my many Hingham lines married in and out of the LINCOLNS causing great confusion. --- Susan SGTAYLOR1@att.net My Genealogy Website - sgt http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/ ----------------------------------------------- USGW Mansfield, CT - http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/mansfield.html USGW New London, CT - http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/newlondon.html USGW Norwich, CT - http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/norwich.html USGW Windham, CT - http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/windham.html USGW Coordinator Plymouth Co., MA - http://www.rootsweb.com/~maplymou/ USGW Plymouth, MA - http://www.rootsweb.com/~macplymo/ *********************************************************
