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.'
