JUDGE SAMUEL HINCKLEY
1757-1840
As a member of the Connecticut Land Company, Judge Samuel Hinckley of North Hampton [sic], Massachusetts purchased township 4N Range 13W of the Western Reserve in 1795 for a sum equivalent to 23 cents an acre. The township remained unsettled until Abraham Freeze was commissioned by Judge Hinckley in 1819 to survey the township into 100 plots of 160 acres each. In return for having the township, founded in 1825, named "Hinckley," the judge gave land for two burying grounds and one-half acre for a public square. In 1919, upon the 101st anniversary of the "Great Hinckley Hunt," where men from surrounding counties gathered on Christmas Eve to rid the township of wild animals, Judge Amos Webber spoke for the deceased Judge Hinckley: "When I last saw this country, it was a howling wilderness . . . by industry and frugality you and your ancestors have made these ever lasting hills and pleasant valleys blossom as the rose."

According to page 1202 of Descendants of Elder John Strong, Vol. 2, the judge and Dorothy Strong also had a son Samuel (1793-1823) who died in Cuba. {Do you have access to Bridge Street burial records to know whether he was buried in Cuba or returned to the family plots in MA? (None listed. pkm)]
The couple's daughter Sophia Hinckley Lyman was the only one of this couple's six children to live to marry. After her brother's deaths, Sophia's son Samuel Hinckley Lyman changed his surname from Lyman to Hinckley (becoming Samuel Lyman Hinckley, to carry on the Hinckley surname).
Two of that grandson Samuel's children became the prominent artists Susan Greenough Hinckley Bradley and Robert Cutler Hinckley.
