- According to Deane, he "appears in Scituate 1680. He owned a considerable tract of land at Henchman's corner, half mile west of the south Meetinghouse, adjoining Dea. Joseph Cushing's and Philip Turner's land. His house stood twenty rods east from the parting of the roads, on the north side of the street. He sold it to Rev. Mr. Eells 1714. It was a spacious house. Thirty years since it was taken down, and a slight habitation built with its ruins: and the whole removed 1826. . . . He had also a sister Elnathan, who married Eliab [sic] Turner 1694. This family came from Massachusetts and returned thither; probably to Chelmsford. We take him to have been the son of Thomas Hinchman, Esq. of Chelmsford. There was, however, a Mr. Hinckesman in Marshfield, 1653, who may have been his father."
Savage does not make a determination as to his parents either. The "Hinckesman" in Marshfield was Edmund; Savage gives him the date of first record of 1653. [3, 4]
