Inscription on her monument at Barnstable:
Here lyeth ye
Body of ye truly
Virtuous and prais
Worthy Mrs. Mary
Hinckley, wife to
Mr. Thomas Hinckley.
Died July ye 29, 1703,
In ye 73d year of
Her age.

Gov. Hinckley was a man of worth and piety. Upon the death of his wife he composed the following verses in her memory:

Pity me O my friends and for me Pray
To him yr can supply what's taken away.
My crown is falled from my Head, and wo,
Wo unto me yt I have sinned so
As to provoke ye Lord to show such Ire.
Wh I deserve 'gainst me should burn like Fire.
God righteous is in all yr He hath done
Yea good in lending Her to me so long.
A blessing rich Forty three years and more;
Had I been wise to improve such store
Of Gifts and Grace wherewith she was endu'd
I might in Grace have also much improve'd.
How prompt in heavenly Discourse was she,
That to her own and others good might be!
Out of her store came things both new and old,
Wh she had read, or thought, or had been told.
How great my Bond to God in Thankfulness,
For such a Gift, for all my worthlessness.
The only child her gracious mother bore,
Obtain'd of God as a Return of Prayer;
For wh she with her Friends employ'd a day,
In private, and soon found it good to pray
Unto ye God of nature and of Grace.
Who thus approv'd their seeking of his Face,
In forming this fair child to shew his Praise;
Endowed with virtues in her early Days
Wh grew and shine'd in young and riper age,
And to her Maker's Praise did much engage,
All those wo knew Her both of late and old,
And prove'd as diverse godly wise fortold.
She by her wisdom built ye House and by
Her prudent care kept all in such a way
And in such order, so as nought might be
A Let to worship in the Family.
Or cause Distraction on God's holy day,
Yea both at Morn and even, as was need
She did in Household, worship always lead
Her Family, while in her window state.
And in my absence since she was my mate.
Whose good example may rebuke all Those
Who slight their Duty and Themselves expose
Unto yt wrath of God wh hangs over all
Those Families wh on him do not call.
To rise up very early was her way,
Enter her closet straight to read and pray,
And then to call and raise her family.
And lived to see a Blessing great upon
Her prayers and prudent Education
Of children such a number for ye Lord.
Under her gracious Covenant and word,
That now may say, I am, through Grace divine.
Thy Servant, Daughter, Son, of Handmaid, thine.
She highly prized a Gospel Ministry,
For its support was an example high.
And while a widow chose ye town shou'd say
What was her Part lest self from Right shou'd sway
And allways gave more than her Rite away.
You ever first wou'd pay that plous due.
Then other Debts, and on the Residue.
Wou'd wisely live and help ye Poor she knew.
Nor ever any want she found thereby.
And counselled her Friends ye like to try;
But if they wou'd till last let That alone,
They wou'd find nought to to pay't all wou'd be gone;
Which some have try'd, and found what she said True,
And so God was not robbed of his Due.
As by God's Grace she lived piously
So by the same she lived righteously;
Chusing yt she and hers might wrongs receiv,
Then even ye least to others give.
Always a Pattern of Sobriety,
Meek, lowly, peaceful, prone to Charity
And freely given to Hospitality.
Behaved wisely in a perfect way,
Both in ye brightest and ye darkest Day.
She came in nothing short with count of many
Of highest Praise of Tongue or Pen of any.
Great cause we have of pious Thankfullness;
For that tho sharpest pains did her distress
For six weeks allmost constantly, yt she
Could take no Rest nor in ye night nor Day;
Yet God preserved her mind and senses clear,
With exercise of Grace, yet we cou'd hear
Not the least murmuring nor impatient word
But meek submission to ye Sovereign Lord
Full of heart melting Prayer and Savory words,
Which Joy and wonderment to all affords
Whose Hearts were mov'd to leav their Homes and see
And help her in her great extremkity.
Her last words were, Come Dear Lord Jesus, Come,
And take me quickly to thy Bosom home;
And in few minutes had her Soul's desire
With him whom she did love with Heart entire.
Death was no Terror unto Her nor Fear,
No Gastliness did in her face appear;
But sweet composure in her Life and Death
When her deal Soul she in her final Breath
Resigned to Him whom she beheld in Faith;
Whose own she was and with him longed to be,
Where she is free from sin and misery;
She enter'd into perfect, endless Rest,
And with ye blest above is ever blest.
So what we have no reason to repine,
But thankfully and humbly to resign
To his most wise and righteous hand therein.
Nor mourn for Her in Plentitude of Joy,
But for ourselves whom evils still annoy.
As a great Lostt to all, ye wisest deem,
Then sure to me and mine a loss extream;
Now she has left, the gap is made away,
Wh our Iniquities deserved have,
Unless ye Lord please, as I humbly crave
To give Repentance and Remission free
Of all our sins; of mine especially
My great Defects in point of gratitude
In prizing and improving such a good;
Wh as a second miracle of Grace.
After the first who no less Pious was
And lonely consort. Both free gifts most rare,
And both in answer unto humble Prayer.
As soon as I my will resigned so
To God, as to be free yt he shou'd do
As most for his own glory, he Shou'd see;
Then did their several Relatives agree
To say. They had opposed our Match so long.
They neither dared nor wou'd it more prolong;
Wh was so far above all expectation
As made us to admire the Dispensation.
Yet such wonderous works I cou'd forget.
Does my offences greatly aggravate;
Which has so much dishonored his Name
As justly may me fill with grief and shame
And Oh! Yt by his grace enabling me.
I may with Hate, yeaself - abhorency
Turn from all sin and unto Jesus flee.
Whose meritorious and precious blood
Can cleanse from sin and reconcile to God.
O may he be most highly prized by me.
And as most precious may embraced be,
May I to him eternally be joined.
And in Him Rest and satisfaction find;
By his good spirit's mighty energy
My heart be purg'd from all Impurity.
And filled with all grace and sanctity;
Awakened out of all my drowsy Frames
Raised up to lively, heavenly views and aims.
Ever composed, humble, watchful be,
Especially upon God's holy Day.
And when I read, hear, meditate and pray
In holy Duties never slightly be;
As if to approach yt glorious majesty
Of God, a light and trifling thing it were;
But ever look and speak unto him with Fear;
May bring forth much good Fruit in my last Days.
Living and doing more unto his Praise;
Gaining much profit by our Father's Rod.
Who can make all work our eternal good.
For all which mercies great I beg ye Prayers
Of all who see these drops of aged Tears.
That I and mine may be his mighty Hand
Be kept thro Faith unto Salvation, and
That we may neither slack or slothful be,
But follow Her and that blest company.
Who thro' their faith and patience now possess
The full completion of the Promises.
And we may fitted be at Death to say,
Lord Jesus come and take us quick away.
To be with Thee until eternal Aye;
Afflicted and distressed, but thro rich
Undeserved mercy not wholly forsaken.
T. Hinckley, Ætatis 82.

He came with his father's family in 1635 to Boston, thence to Scituate, and to Barnstable 1639. In 1652 he was on an important committee to lay out a road from Sandwich to Plymouth, deputy 1646-51, and 1700. He was the last Governor of Plymouth Colony, 1680-92, when it was joined to Mass. Bay Colony, except during the interruption of Gov. Andros.
Mr. Otis wrote, "I confess that I do not feel competent to write, as it should be written, the biography of Gov. Thomas Hinckley, * * * I can collect the facts, and lay a foundation on which another can build. During half a century he held offices of trust and power in the Old Colony, and had a controlling influence over the popular mind. He was the architect of his own fortune in life; the builder of his own reputation; a man of good common sense and sound judgement; honest and honorable in all his dealings; industrious, persevering and self-reliant; and if it be any praise, it may be added he was the best read lawyer in the Colony. He had some emimies - it would have been a miricle if so prominent and so independent a man had had none -. Barren trees are not pelted. The Quaker influence, was arrayed in hostility to him. He examined every question presented to him in its legal aspects, and viewing his acts from that stand-point, he was very rarely in the wrong. He was a rigid independent in religion, and his tolerant opinions, though in advance of his time, did not come up to the standard of the present. Some of his acts I shall leave for others to defend; but that he was the intolerant and cruel man that some of the infatuated bigots of his time represent him to be, the facts will not sustain. He was a living man, never allowed his faculties to rust by inaction and to the last could draw an instrument with as much clearness and precision as in his early manhood. "It appears that he was an officer in the great Indian battle with the Narragansetts, in 1775, in the company of Captain John Gorham; and his youngest daughter was born at that time, which suggested her name to the minister, Rev. Mr. Russell, who named her. He d. Barnstable, Apr. 25, 1705.

bullet Samuel HINCKLEY(275) died on 31 Oct 1662. He was born in England, Tenterden, Kent. Samuel Hinckley,1 resided in Tenterdon, Kent, England; a dissenter; Mr. Otis says, that on Mar. 14, 1634-5, to escape persecution and get out of England he took an oath that he conformed to the order and discipline of the English church; remarking that it was probably qualified by mental reservation; and that the sin consisted in compelling such men to take the oath, rather than in taking it. In March, 1635, Rev. Nathaniel Tilden, who in 1728 had purchased lands in Scituate, Mass., probably with a view for future homes for himself and friends; with Samuel Hinckley, George Lewes, and James Austin of Tenterden, and with other families, making a company of 102, including women, children and servants, sailed from Sandwich, Eng., in the ship Hercules; probably intending to join Rev. John Lothrope, who came to Scituate the previous year; and more than half the passengers of this voyage became inhabitants there. he brought his wife Sarah, and his four oldest children; and immediately after his arrival at Boston he went to Scituate; built a house there, which Mr. Lothrop calls No. 19; three of his fellow passengers also built a house there in 1635. viz: William Hatch, No. 17, George Lewis, No. 18, and Nathaniel Tilden, No. 20. the street on which they built was called Kent street. He resided there until July 1640; and removed to Barnstable; bought land there of Rev. Joseph Hull, and had trouble about the title. The location of his home lot is well known. It was bounded on the west by Coggin's Pond and the land of James Hamlin;1 from which it is today separated by an ancient stone fence; and joined the land of his son, Gov. Thomas Hinckley on the south. The present County road passes south of this place. Near the pond, according to tradition he built his one story dwelling, with a thatched roof. He was one of the first that settled at West Barnstable, and owned the farm there occupied in 1862 by Levi L. Goodspeed. His son-in-law, John Smith, owned the adjoining land; since known as the Otis farm. He was made freeman 1637. he was one of the proprietors of Suckonesset, (Falmouth, Mass.,) 1661. his 1st wife d. Aug. 18, 1656; m. 2d, Dec. 15, 1657, Bridget, widow of Robert Bodfish, of Sandwich, Mass. Mr Otis remarks, that he never know a Hinckley who was dishonest, lazy, or imprudent. Samuel Hinckley was not distinguished; but his name frequently appears on the Barnstable records as juror, surveyor of highways, etc. As a church member he does not appear intolerant, but from the fact that he was twice indicated for entertaining strangers - Quakers, - indicates that he was a liberal man. He d. Oct. 31, 1662; will Oct. 8, 1662.

Worthy Mrs. Mary
Hinckley, wife to
Mr. Thomas Hinckley.
Died July ye 29, 1703,
In ye 73d year of
Her age.

Gov. Hinckley was a man of worth and piety. Upon the death of his wife he composed the following verses in her memory:

Pity me O my friends and for me Pray
To him yr can supply what's taken away.
My crown is falled from my Head, and wo,
Wo unto me yt I have sinned so
As to provoke ye Lord to show such Ire.
Wh I deserve 'gainst me should burn like Fire.
God righteous is in all yr He hath done
Yea good in lending Her to me so long.
A blessing rich Forty three years and more;
Had I been wise to improve such store
Of Gifts and Grace wherewith she was endu'd
I might in Grace have also much improve'd.
Massachusetts, Barnstable, Barnstable County
And in my absence since she was my mate.
Whose good example may rebuke all Those
Who slight their Duty and Themselves expose
Unto yt wrath of God wh hangs over all
Those Families wh on him do not call.
To rise up very early was her way,
Enter her closet straight to read and pray,
And then to call and raise her family.
And lived to see a Blessing great upon
Her prayers and prudent Education
Of children such a number for ye Lord.
Under her gracious Covenant and word,
That now may say, I am, through Grace divine.
Thy Servant, Daughter, Son, of Handmaid, thine.
She highly prized a Gospel Ministry,
For its support was an example high.
And while a widow chose ye town shou'd say
What was her Part lest self from Right shou'd sway
And allways gave more than her Rite away.
You ever first wou'd pay that plous due.
Then other Debts, and on the Residue.
Wou'd wisely live and help ye Poor she knew.
Nor ever any want she found thereby.
And counselled her Friends ye like to try;
But if they wou'd till last let That alone,
They wou'd find nought to to pay't all wou'd be gone;
Which some have try'd, and found what she said True,
And so God was not robbed of his Due.
As by God's Grace she lived piously
So by the same she lived righteously;
Chusing yt she and hers might wrongs receiv,
Then even ye least to others give.
Always a Pattern of Sobriety,
Meek, lowly, peaceful, prone to Charity
And freely given to Hospitality.
Behaved wisely in a perfect way,
Both in ye brightest and ye darkest Day.
She came in nothing short with count of many
Of highest Praise of Tongue or Pen of any.
Great cause we have of pious Thankfullness;
For that tho sharpest pains did her distress
For six weeks allmost constantly, yt she
Could take no Rest nor in ye night nor Day;
Yet God preserved her mind and senses clear,
With exercise of Grace, yet we cou'd hear
Not the least murmuring nor impatient word
But meek submission to ye Sovereign Lord
Full of heart melting Prayer and Savory words,
Which Joy and wonderment to all affords
Whose Hearts were mov'd to leav their Homes and see
And help her in her great extremkity.
Her last words were, Come Dear Lord Jesus, Come,
And take me quickly to thy Bosom home;
And in few minutes had her Soul's desire
With him whom she did love with Heart entire.
Death was no Terror unto Her nor Fear,
No Gastliness did in her face appear;
But sweet composure in her Life and Death
When her deal Soul she in her final Breath
Resigned to Him whom she beheld in Faith;
Whose own she was and with him longed to be,
Where she is free from sin and misery;
She enter'd into perfect, endless Rest,
And with ye blest above is ever blest.
So what we have no reason to repine,
But thankfully and humbly to resign
To his most wise and righteous hand therein.
Nor mourn for Her in Plentitude of Joy,
But for ourselves whom evils still annoy.
As a great Lostt to all, ye wisest deem,
Then sure to me and mine a loss extream;
Now she has left, the gap is made away,
Wh our Iniquities deserved have,
Unless ye Lord please, as I humbly crave
To give Repentance and Remission free
Of all our sins; of mine especially
My great Defects in point of gratitude
In prizing and improving such a good;
Wh as a second miracle of Grace.
After the first who no less Pious was
And lonely consort. Both free gifts most rare,
And both in answer unto humble Prayer.
As soon as I my will resigned so
To God, as to be free yt he shou'd do
As most for his own glory, he Shou'd see;
Then did their several Relatives agree
To say. They had opposed our Match so long.
They neither dared nor wou'd it more prolong;
Wh was so far above all expectation
As made us to admire the Dispensation.
Yet such wonderous works I cou'd forget.
Does my offences greatly aggravate;
Which has so much dishonored his Name
As justly may me fill with grief and shame
And Oh! Yt by his grace enabling me.
I may with Hate, yeaself - abhorency
Turn from all sin and unto Jesus flee.
Whose meritorious and precious blood
Can cleanse from sin and reconcile to God.
O may he be most highly prized by me.
And as most precious may embraced be,
May I to him eternally be joined.
And in Him Rest and satisfaction find;
By his good spirit's mighty energy
My heart be purg'd from all Impurity.
And filled with all grace and sanctity;
Awakened out of all my drowsy Frames
Raised up to lively, heavenly views and aims.
Ever composed, humble, watchful be,
Especially upon God's holy Day.
And when I read, hear, meditate and pray
In holy Duties never slightly be;
As if to approach yt glorious majesty
Of God, a light and trifling thing it were;
But ever look and speak unto him with Fear;
May bring forth much good Fruit in my last Days.
Living and doing more unto his Praise;
Gaining much profit by our Father's Rod.
Who can make all work our eternal good.
For all which mercies great I beg ye Prayers
Of all who see these drops of aged Tears.
That I and mine may be his mighty Hand
Be kept thro Faith unto Salvation, and
That we may neither slack or slothful be,
But follow Her and that blest company.
Who thro' their faith and patience now possess
The full completion of the Promises.
And we may fitted be at Death to say,
Lord Jesus come and take us quick away.
To be with Thee until eternal Aye;
Afflicted and distressed, but thro rich
Undeserved mercy not wholly forsaken.
T. Hinckley, Ætatis 82.

He came with his father's family in 1635 to Boston, thence to Scituate, and to Barnstable 1639. In 1652 he was on an important committee to lay out a road from Sandwich to Plymouth, deputy 1646-51, and 1700. He was the last Governor of Plymouth Colony, 1680-92, when it was joined to Mass. Bay Colony, except during the interruption of Gov. Andros.

Mr. Otis wrote, "I confess that I do not feel competent to write, as it should be written, the biography of Gov. Thomas Hinckley, * * * I can collect the facts, and lay a foundation on which another can build. During half a century he held offices of trust and power in the Old Colony, and had a controlling influence over the popular mind. He was the architect of his own fortune in life; the builder of his own reputation; a man of good common sense and sound judgement; honest and honorable in all his dealings; industrious, persevering and self-reliant; and if it be any praise, it may be added he was the best read lawyer in the Colony. He had some emimies - it would have been a miricle if so prominent and so independent a man had had none -. Barren trees are not pelted. The Quaker influence, was arrayed in hostility to him. He examined every question presented to him in its legal aspects, and viewing his acts from that stand-point, he was very rarely in the wrong. He was a rigid independent in religion, and his tolerant opinions, though in advance of his time, did not come up to the standard of the present. Some of his acts I shall leave for others to defend; but that he was the intolerant and cruel man that some of the infatuated bigots of his time represent him to be, the facts will not sustain. He was a living man, never allowed his faculties to rust by inaction and to the last could draw an instrument with as much clearness and precision as in his early manhood. "It appears that he was an officer in the great Indian battle with the Narragansetts, in 1775, in the company of Captain John Gorham; and his youngest daughter was born at that time, which suggested her name to the minister, Rev.
