  Killed by Indians FAMILY: From p. 370 of old Book 1 of the Brunswick Vital Records, births of Isaac & Agnis Hinkly's daughter: Mehetabal. NOTES: According to Charles N Sinnett's book, "Ancestor Samuel Hinckley and Descendants," (his sources being the "History of Barnstable, Mass," as well as from Hinckley descedants) on p. 27 he states: 'In July 1751, the Indians came upon a party of seven settlers, who were making their hay at New Meadows, near Brunswick Maine. Discovering that these men were quite a distance from their guns, the savages ran and cut off theirretreat. These men were Edmond Hinckley, with his brothers, Isaac and Gideon; Deacon Samuel Whitney and his son, Samuel; Hezekiah Purington; and Samuel Lumbers (Lombard). Isaac Hinckley was killed and the rest of the men were taken prisoners, and carried to Canada, where they suffered many hardships, but were finally exchanged.'
