"The Genealogy of the Hitchcock Family states that he was a shoemaker, but is a century off in declaring that he was a captain at Crown Point in 1645. We have seen no record to indicate that he held military office, and we omit also the inflated account of him attributed to a great-grandson which was quoted in the family history."
