Question

Is anyone else here a direct descendent of “Sam the Weaver” Lincoln who came to Hingham, Mass in the 1600’s?

Comments

Samuel was born in 1622 in Hingham, England, and died in Hingham, Massachusetts in 1690. He was married to Martha Lyford (1625-1693) and they were my 8th great grandparents. My late Grandmother kept the family tree paperwork. Ironically, I currently live in Hull, a beautiful and quaint little peninsula right next to Hingham, and grew up in nearby Canton, Massachusetts.

Hello,

My fourth Great Grandfather was Samuel Weaver Lincoln. My Mother was a Lincoln from Taunton, Mass.

Answer 1

Not me, but I am a first cousin, 10 times removed. I am descended from his maternal grandfather Edward Gilman II.

Edward and Rose (Rysse) Gilman are listed as my 11th gr grandparents. I have them listed from Caston Village, Norfolk, England. Is this what you have?

I haven't personally researched him, but that's where his wikitree page has him. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gilman-3

Answer 2

I believe my husband is. His sister does all the genealogy on that side of the family, though so I'm not 100% sure. I come from Thomas Lincoln "the Husbandman".

I have Thomas “the Husbandman” and Margaret (Langer) Lincoln listed as my 8th great grandparents. Born in Norfolk, England and died in Hingham, Massachusetts. Is this the same one as yours?

---

Yup, through his youngest daughter Ruth, who married Samuel Gill

Daughter, Elizabeth, who married Daniel Lincoln. Hmmm... I wonder if they were cousins which I’ve found out was often the case back when there weren’t many families around the Hingham, Massachusetts area back in the 1600’s. Ironically, I currently live in the next town (Hull), a pretty little peninsula just south of Boston.

Answer 3

Samuel “the weaver” Lincoln is my 10th great-grandfather by way of his son Mordecai.

Answer 4

Yes, he is my 8th Great grandfather, through the Lincoln-Boone-Lee path

Answer 5

Samuel "The Weaver" Lincoln is my 7th G-Grandfather. I am descended from him in the direct male line. Since my branch of the family stayed in Hingham for about 150 years before branching out, there was a lot of intermarriage. Therefore, I can trace my descent from Samuel nine different ways. For example, I am descended from three of Samuel's eleven children. I am also descended from all of the other Lincoln men who were original, permanent settlers of Hingham and fathered children.
