Samuel Hinckley, Esq. was a resident of Tenterden, Kent, England. He came to America in the spring of 1635 on ship Hercules with 102 on board. On 15 March 1634/5 "Saml Hinckley of Tenterden & Sarah his wife, Susan, Sara, Mary children and Elzab a kinswoman" were enrolled at Sandwich for passage to New England on the Hercules [NEHGR 75:219].
He settled first in Scituate, Mass with his family and built a home with Rev. Lothrop called No. 10. In 1638 the Hinckleys moved to Barnstable, Plymouth Colony with the family name is prominent to this day.

"Samuel Hinckley of Tenterden, country of Kent, England, came to New England in the ship Hercules of Sandwich, which sailed about March, 1634 -- with his wife Sarah and four children. He first settled at Scituate, and by the early records it appears that his wife joined the church there, Aug. 16, 1635. He removed with his family to Barnstable in 1639. His first wife, Sarah, died Aug. 18, 1656, and he married for his second wife, Bridget Bodfish, Dec. 15, 1657. He died at Barnstable, Oct 31, 1662. In Freeman's "History of Cape Cod" he is described as "having been a very prominent man in public affairs." His will was dated Oct. 8, 1662. He leaves the use of his house and garden, and some land, to his wife Bridget, during her widowhood, and also gives her "all the household stuff she brought with her," and her two cows, "Prosper and Thrivewell;" but his landed property and other live stock, which appears considerable, are divided chiefly between his sons Thomas, Samuel and John. He leaves to each of his daughters, Susanna, Mary, Sarah, and Elizabeth, and to each of their children, the nominal sum of one shilling, by which I presume the daughters were all married and had been provided for. He also bequeaths some of his live stock to his grandchildren, Samuel and Thomas, sons, and Mary and Bathshea, daughters of Thomas Hinckley, --and "Henry Cobb's sons, Samuel and Jonathan." The inventory of his personal property, #162. 16. 0. was made by Henry Cobb and William Crocker."
