Family
Samuel first married Sarah Soole on May 7th, 1617 in Hawkhurst, County Kent, England [2]. Sarah was baptized at Hawkhurst 8 June 1600, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Iddenden) Soole of Hawkhurst.
Together they had 16 children:
1.Thomas, bp. Hawkhurst, Kent, 19 March 1619/20 [NEHGR 68:186]; m. (1) Barnstable 4 December 1641 Mary Richards [PCR 8:44]; m. (2) Barnstable 16 March 1659/60 Mary (Smith) Glover [MD 6:98].
2.John, bp. Tenterden, Kent, 28 April 1622 [NEHGR 65:315]; bur. there 25 February 1627/8 [NEHGR 65:315].
3.Susannah, bp. Tenterden, Kent, 6 November 1625 [NEHGR 65:315]; m. by 1644 John Smith (on an unknown date, "John Smith & Susannah Hinckley contracted at our sister Hinckleye's house [in Barnstable]" [NEHGR 10:39]; eldest known child b. Barnstable [blank] April 1644 [MD 12:154]).
4.Mary, bp. Tenterden, Kent, 23 March 1627/8 [NEHGR 65:315]; no further record.
5.Sarah, bp. Tenterden, Kent, 22 November 1629 [NEHGR 65:315]; m. Barnstable 12 December 1649 Henry Cobb [GMB 1:392-95; PCR 8:42; NEHGR 9:287].
6.Mary, bp. Tenterden, Kent, 18 September 1631 [NEHGR 65:315]; living 8 October 1662, possibly married, when named in the will of her father. (The claim has been made that Mary married James Houghton of Barnstable, and was the "Mary Haughton,widow," who made her will on 19 January 1685/6, in which she made individual bequests to each of the children of Thomas Hinckley [MD 18:134-36, citing BarnPR 1:77-78]. However, no relationship was stated with the Hinckley children, and, on the other hand, she also made a bequest to "the two eldest children of Joseph Potts my brother Edward Potts his eldest son." Since there is no known connection between the Hinckley family and any Potts family, we do not believe that the wife of James Haughton was Mary Hinckley.)
7.Elizabeth, bp. Tenterden, Kent, 10 March 1632/3 [NEHGR 65:315]; bur. there 18 June 1633 [NEHGR 65:315].
8.John, bp. Tenterden, Kent, 1 June 1634 [NEHGR 65:315]; d. young.
9.Elizabeth, bp. Scituate 6 September 1635 [NEHGR 9:281]; m. Barnstable 15 July 1657 Elisha Parker [PCR 8:47].
10.Samuel, bp. Scituate 4 February 1637/8 [NEHGR 9:281]; d. young.
11.Samuel, bp. Scituate 10 February 1638/9 [NEHGR 9:281]; bur. Barnstable 22 March 1640/1 [NEHGR 9:285].
12.Daughter; bur. Barnstable 8 July 1640 ("a daughter upon their coming hither buried unbaptized") [NEHGR 9:285].
13.Child (twin), b. late 1640 or early 1641; bur. Barnstable 6 February 1640/1 [NEHGR 9:285].
14.Child (twin), b. late 1640 or early 1641; bur. Barnstable 19 March 1640/1 [NEHGR 9:285].

Note: 1617 "May Marryed the vij th day Samuell Hinckley and Sarah Soole."
(Among the entries given above is the record of the marriage of Samuel Hinckley of Tenterden, co. Kent, and of Scituate and Barnstable in New England, which has hitherto escaped notice, although before the Hinckley records and pedigree were communicated to the Register in 1911 (vol. 65 ), careful search was made for the place and date of this marriage and for the maiden name of Samuel Hinckley's wife. The baptismal record of Thomas Hinckley, Governor of the Plymouth Colony, which had remained unknown, is also printed here. Hawkhurst, co. Kent, the parish in which these records were found, lies ten miles west from Tenterden and fifteen miles southwest from Harrietsham, and adjoins the border of Sussex. The John Hinckley whose children were baptized at Hawkhurst was probably the John who was born about 1591, a brother of Samuel, the settler in the Plymouth Colony. (Vide Register, vol. 65, p. 187). For the Soole family and related families vide infra. [1]

Following Sarah's death 18 August 1656, Samuel married (2nd) Bridget Botfish, December 15th, 1657 in Barnstable, Massachusetts.[4] [PCR 8:44; MD 6:98; NEHGR 65:318] They had no children together.

Samuel Hinckley was a dissenter, though on the 14th of March 1634-5 in order to escape out of his native country he was obligated to swear that he “conformed to the order and discipline of the Church of England.” In the Spring of 1635 Mr. Tilden, Samuel Hinckley, John Lewis, and James Austin of Tenterdon, in the county of Kent in England and several other families from that country, making a company of 102 counting men, women, and children and servants resolved to emigrate to New England in the later part of March. They sailed from Sandwich in the ship Hercules that year.
Samuel, wife Sarah, family emigrated to America in the ship "Hercules," in the early spring of 1635. He settled at Scituate, in the Province of Massachusetts Bay, where he remained until 1639, when he removed to Barnstable, being one of the first settlers there. He died in that part of Barnstable called Great Marshes, now West Barnstable, October 31, 1662.
