Mary Larrabee, his wife's, children: Isabella, Benjamin, Reliance, Lois,
Nathaniel, Theophilus, Stephen, Aaron (Jr.), John, Mary, Jeremiah, Rachel.
[Sinnett lists children as Benjamin who died young, John, Isabella, Susanna,
Polly, Benjamin (who m. Esther Sargent and died at Monmouth), Aaron, and
Ann Maria (who married John Dunning Stanwood in 23 Oct 1850 [No way,
the ages can't be right for that, unless they married in old age])]
!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. 25-6 he states: Dr Wheeler in his
History of Brunswick, Topsham and Harpswell, Maine, 'Judge Aaron Hinckley
was one of the most noted men of Brunswick Maine, in his day. Of his
personal appearance and manner nothing is known. But he is said to have
had but one eye. The tradition which accounts for the loss of his other eye
is, "A tame Indian in the employ of his father was one day holding him in his
lap, and accidentally dropped a live coal from his pipe into the boy's eye,
totally destroying the sight of it." He was a man of good judgement, and
was often engaged in the service of the town, either on committees or as a
Selectman, in which capacity he served in the years: 1745, 1750, 1755,
1759, and 1760. In 1775, he was one of the Judges of the Court of
Sessions for Lincoln County Maine. In 1764, when Topsham Maine was
incorporated, as a town, Judge Aaron Hinckley was directed to issue the
warrant for the first town meeting. In his religious views he was a
Congregationalist. He was very severe in his opposition to the
Presbyterians. He lived where Benjamin Larrabee was living in 1854.'
Mentions of his work in the Lincoln County Maine Probate Records,
'Aaron Hinckley took the inventory of the estate of Hezekiah Purinton of
Georgetown Maine, 16 Jan 1762; with James Thompson and Isaac Snow of
Brunswick Maine, 1 Dec 1764; Aaron Hinckley signed the will of Benjamin
Thompson of Georgetown Maine with Jane Hinckley, Tobias Ham, and
Benjamin Ham, 17 Nov 1768; Aaron Hinckley took the inventory of the

Robertson of Topsham Maine with Ezra Randall, Joseph Foster, and Joseph
Randall, 4 Feb 1779; Aaron Hinckley signed the will of John Mustard of
Topsham Maine, with George Heddean an John O. Orr.'
[His wife] a woman of truly sterling qualities.
