Mary Agnes Tincker (July 18, 1833 – December 4, 1907) was an American novelist. She published about a dozen novels and many short stories. She was made a member of the Ancient Academy of Arcadia of Rome, and of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Philadelphia.〔 ==Life and works== Tincker was born in Ellsworth, Maine, daughter of Richard Tinker and Mehitable Jellison; descendant of Thomas Tinker, of the Mayflower, and of Benjamin Jellison, a Presbyterian, of Scots, Irish and English extraction, who was an extensive land-owner in Maine and Canada, but, having adhered to the Loyalist cause during the revolution, his estate was confiscated. He then settled on a grant of land in New Brunswick, where he began life anew. Mary Tincker's father was deputy sheriff and subsequently high sheriff of Hancock County, and at the time of his death was warden of the Maine state prison.〔''The National Cyclopedia of American Biography'' (1898) J. T. White & C., New York〕〔''Historical Records and Studies, Volume 15'' (1921) United States Catholic Historical Society〕 She was educated at the high-school in Ellsworth, and at the academy in Blue Hill, Maine.〔''Lamb's Biographical Dictionary of the United States'' (1903) James H. Lamb Co.〕〔''Appletons Encyclopedia'' (1898)〕 At the age of thirteen she began teaching in the public schools. At fifteen her first literary work was printed, in the form of a great deal of anonymous newspaper and magazine fiction. Her father was a prosperous Congregational farmer but his daughter was so shocked by an incident in which a Roman Catholic priest was tarred-and-feathered by a mob of Know-Nothing agitators, that she converted to Roman Catholicism in protest at the age of twenty.〔Mary Warner Blanchard (1998) ''Oscar Wilde's America'', Yale University Press〕
