Samuel Lincoln
Samuel Lincoln (date of birth unknown; baptised in Hingham, Norfolk, England, August 24, 1622,〔(The Ancestry of Abraham Lincoln, James Henry Lea, Robert Hutchinson, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, 1909 ), p. 4.〕 as the son of Edward Lincoln; died in Hingham, Massachusetts, May 26, 1690), was progenitor of many notable United States political figures, including his 4th great-grandson, President Abraham Lincoln, Maine governor Enoch Lincoln, and Levi Lincoln, Sr. and Levi Lincoln, Jr., both of whom served as Massachusetts Representatives, Governor and Lieutenant Governor.〔(Bulletin of the Essex Institute, Vol. I, 1869, Essex Institute Press, Salem, Mass., 1870 )〕 Because of Samuel Lincoln's descendants, his fortuitous arrival in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and the fact that his ancestry is known for several generations, he is considered father of the most prominent branch of Lincolns in America.〔Waldo Lincoln, ''History of the Lincoln Family: An Account of the Descendants of Samuel Lincoln of Hingham, Massachusetts, 1637–1920'' (1923) ISBN 0-7884-1489-5; John George Nicolay, John Hay, ''Abraham Lincoln: A History'' (1890) p. 2.〕
==Journey to America==
Having grown up in meager circumstances due to a family squabble in which his wealthy grandfather disinherited his earlier children, Samuel Lincoln became an apprentice weaver under Francis Lawes of Norwich, England. Samuel Lincoln's father Edward had abandoned his home at Swanton Morley near Hingham after he was cut out of his father Richard's will, and relocated to some small acreage at Hingham.〔(The Ancestry of Abraham Lincoln, James Henry Lea, Robert Hutchinson, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, 1909 )〕〔(Abraham Lincoln's antecedents in the county of Norfolk, Norfolkcoast.co.uk )〕 In 1637, Lincoln left England for the New World with Lawes' family, embarking on a ship named ''John & Dorothy''. Although most accounts indicate that he was 15 years old at the time, it has been suggested that he misrepresented his age in order to be permitted to make the voyage.〔William Eleazar Barton, ''The Life of Abraham Lincoln'' (1935) p. 25.〕
Samuel sailed for the colony of Massachusetts, where his older brother Thomas – known in early records as "Thomas Lincoln the Weaver" to distinguish him from several other unrelated Thomas Lincolns – had already settled. Samuel's brother Thomas, who settled in 1635 in Hingham, Massachusetts, was granted a house lot by the town. Although twice married, Thomas had no children.〔(The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. XIX, New England Historic Genealogical Society, Published by the Society, David Clapp & Son, Printers, Boston, Mass., 1865 )〕 After his death, he left a great deal of his property, including several house lots, to Samuel and his nephews.〔(History of the Town of Hingham, Massachusetts, Vol. III, Thomas Tracy Bouvé, Published by the Town, John Wilson and Son, Cambridge, Mass., 1893 )〕
