(from son Edmund Hinkley's affidavit regarding Edmund's Hinkley Sr's Revolutionary War service:) "...He further states that there are now living, this applicant the only son of Edmund Hinkley his father and Mary Hinkley his mother, and that said Mary was the only wife of my said Father Edmund Hinkley, and that myself, Elizabeth Hinkley living in Lisbon in the County of Lincoln, Mary Mitchell of Bath, Rebecca Blithen, and Sarah Hinkley of Bath are the only surviving children born to Edmund Hinkley and Sarah [stet- presumably should be Mary?] Hinkley and that neither of them have any other surviving children.
