Thomas "husbandman" Lincoln. Born on 22 Dec 1622 in Wymondham, Norfolk, Eng. Thomas "husbandman" died in Hingham, MA on 16 Aug 1692; he was 69. Occupation: husbandman.
"Thomas, styled 'the husbandman,' and bro. of Stephen Lincoln, came from Wymondham in the County of Norfolk, Eng., and settled in our Hing. in the autumn of 1638. His name frequently occurs upon the early rec's of the town, and in every instance he is distinguished from the other Thomases by his occupation. His conveyances and titles to property acquired either by grant or purchase, also afford evidence of his vocation in life. None of his descendants bearing the surname in the male line reside in Hing. at the present [1923] time. They are, however, quite numerous throughout New Englane, and not difficult to connect with those who removed into Worcester County, and to the State of Maine."
Thomas "resided on Fort Hill St., "on the upland by the highway side going to Weymouth mill."
Thomas "husbandman" married Margaret Langer, daughter of Richard Langer (ca 1594-25 Jan 1661) & Margaret [Langer]. Born ca 1620. Margaret died in Hingham, MA on 5 Mar 1693/4; she was 74.
Edward DOTY was born in England, some say in 1595, some say 1600. Described as a London youth, came aboard the MAYFLOWER while it was in anchor in the Thames, near London. Then a lad of about twenty, he was listed as a servant to Steven HOPKINS.
In the cabin of the MAYFLOWER on 21 November 1620, where the Compact was signed, Edward DOTY'S name is fourtienth on the list. He was a member of the third expedition which set out in the shallop on the 16th of December, 1620. This was the exploration party that had the first encounter with the Indians at Cape Cod and went on to select the Plymouth site for the first settlement. His name is entered in the Colony records of 18 June 1621, for breach of peace when he and Edward LEISTER fought a duel with the cutlasses in which some blood was shed. They were sentenced to have their heads and feet tied together for twenty-four hours without food or drink.
In the 1623 allotment of land, Edward DOTY, being single, was allotted one acre next to that of Steven HOPKINS. In the 1627 division of livestock, Edward is listed with the group headed by John HOWLAND, which indicates an independent status at the time. His name appears often as "Yeoman," "Planter," and "Freeman". His name is on the first list of "Freeman of Plymouth," in 1633.
Edward DOTY was often in court either as a plaintiff or complainant in civil cases. Although, a large purchaser of lands at Yarmouth, Cohasset, and Dartmouth, he evidently did not live at any of those places, but made his home in the northern part of Plymouth. His will and an inventory of his estate are on record at Plymouth
Nathaniel Church was a ship builder. Of the ship yards on the banks of the North river in Scituate, "the first yard after leaving the Hanover line was the Fox Hill Yard." Ships were "built in this yard from 1690, when Nathaniel Church and John Palmer built vessels here, until 1869." (Old Scituate, p. 148).
March 3, 1662-3 (PCR 4:31-34):
