Williams with some others, among them James Bell were at work in a field when the Indians opened fire upon them and that James Bell was wounded and died after being carried to the house of Peleg Sanford. This happened in a place called "Squabette" near the Great River and in 1830 Baylies writes that the graves of these men who lost their lives at that time were still visible but in 1883 although the place was still pointed out there was a growth of white birch and underbrush covering that locality which is now in Raynham.

2-MARY BELL daughter of James and Esther (Lugg) Bell was born July 7, 1669 and married in Boston, Massachusetts, July 19, 1693 Joseph Hall of Taunton. The date of her death is not known but she survived her husband many years as she was living in 1725 and he died in 1705.

1-NICHOLAS PHILLIPS signed the covenant at Dedham, Massachusetts in 1636 and was one of the men to govern the town in that year and also in 1637, 1638, 1639.

On the 6th of 2mo. 1638 he gave Dedham its first burial ground. On Nov. 23rd of that year he was granted by the town a plot of ground on the hill between the "highway and Jonas Humphrey."

He was known in Weymouth as Deacon Phillips and made his

will June 2, 1671, which was proven October 2, 1672, having died late in September, wherein he mentions his daughter Alice Shaw.

Isabella M. Shaw m Charles Clark Knowlton

1-JOHN HENKLE of Lenham, County Kent, England, was overseer of the will of his brother Robert who died in 1522. The baptismal entries of this family may be found in the Parish Registers and Bishop's Transcripts at Harrietsham, which town lies next to Lenham and seven miles southeast of Maidstone. It contains a very ancient church, the earliest part of which is said to date from 1150. The old font, in which doubtless the Hinckley children were baptized was still in existence in 1911. He died in 1577 and was buried in Harrietsham on June 25 of that year.

2-JOHN HYNCKLEYE of Harrietsham, England son of John Henckle married for his first wife Johane, maiden name not known, who was buried at Harrietsham, January 23, 1563/4; he married second July 3, 1570 Aves Elles who survived him.

3-ROBERT HINCKLEY of Harrietsham, England son of John and Johane Hynckleye, was buried there March 27, 1606. He married for his second

wife February 10, 1574/5 Katherine Leese, widow. She probably predeceased her husband as she is not mentioned in his will made in 1605.

4- SAMUEL HINCKLEY of Tenderden, County of Kent, England came to New England in the ship Hercules of Sandwich, which sailed about March. 1634. He brought with him his wife Sarah, maiden name not known and four children. He first settled at Scituate and his wife joined the church there August 16, 1635. In 1639 he removed with his family to Barnstable where his wife died August 18, 1656 and he married second, December 15, 1657 Bridget Bodfish. He died at Barnstable October 31, 1662. He was a member of Lt. Thomas Dymoke's Military Company at Barnstable in 1643. Freeman, in his History of Cape Cod states that he was a very prominent man in all public affairs. In his will dated October 8, 1662 he leaves the use of his house and garden and some land to his widow and also gives her all the household stuff she brought with her and his two cows named Prosper and Thrivewell but his landed property and other live stock which appears considerable he divided between his three sons, leaving his daughters and each of their children the nominal sum of one shilling.

5 GOVERNOR THOMAS HINCKLEY son of Samuel and Sarah Hinckley was born in England about 1618 and came to America with his parents and soon became very prominent in Colony affairs. He was made Deputy as early as 1645 from Barnstable to the General Court and from 1658 to 1680 was Magistrate and Assistant; in 1675 and 1676 he was Commissioner of Plymouth Colony and saw active service in the Great Swamp Fight during King Phillip's War. He served as Deputy-Governor in 1680 and became Governor in 1681 continuing in office, except during the interruption by Andros, until the union with the Massachusetts Colony in 1692. He was also a Commissioner in the General Board of the two colonies from 1678 until 1692. His death on April 25, 1706 at the age of 87 years is noticed in Freeman's History of Cape Cod as follows:-"In 1706, April 25, died suddenly in Barnstable Governor Thomas Hinckley at an advanced age, a gentleman of distinguished reputation and of great energy of character who as we have seen, filled a large space in the WORLD'S history. He had stood by the cradle of the Colony in its infancy and had been from first to last, the associate in weal or woe of its great and good men and had lived, himself chief among the surviving, to see the last chapter written in its immortal annals."

He married first Mary Richards on December 4, 1641 daughter of Thomas and Wealthian Richards of Weymouth. She died June 24, 1659 and he married second March 16, 1660 Mary widow of Nathaniel Glover. Upon her death he wrote a very long poem which may be seen in the New England Register, Vol. 1 page 92 the original of which in 1847 was owned by Rev. Chandler Robbins of Boston, Massachusetts.

6-MELATIAH HINCKLEY daughter of Governor Thomas and Mary (Richards) Hinckley was born in Barnstable, Massachusetts, November 24, 1648 and died there February 2, 1714/15 as the widow of Josiah Crocker whom she married October 23, 1668.

1-THOMAS STEPHENS came from England and settled in Taunton, Massachusetts bringing his daughter Katherine with him. The date of his arrival has not been ascertained nor the name of his wife. As his son Richard was residing in Taunton before his arrival there it is fair to assume that his wife died prior to his immigration to America.

2-KATHERINE STEPHENS daughter of Thomas Stephens was born in England and married after her arrival in Taunton, Massachusetts, Thomas Deane the marriage taking place on January 5, 1669/70. She made her will the 14th of March 1725/6 which was proven Jan. 12, 1726 in which she mentions her daughter Mercy the wife of Daniel Williams and leaves her ten pounds; she mentions land in Norton but no record of it could be found.
