Research Notes

  • "Dwight" is the surname of his paternal grandmother, Charlotte Dwight, and "Hinckley" is the surname of his maternal grandmother, Sarah Hinckley. Both of these surnames were used extensively throughout this family.
  • He was a well-known lawyer and investor in West Side New York real estate, who almost single-handedly reformed the system of land recording in Manhattan: he invented the lot and block system and lobbied long and hard for its adoption.
  • There is a photo of him from an unknown publication posted in Ancestry.com.
