mander of the Alfred, frigate, in the service of the United States, to Miss Abi- gail Dolebere, daughter of George Dolebere, Esq., of that place, an accom- plished young lady of fortune." (Town's Evening Post, April 8, 1777, Phila- delphia.) Also in the Conn. Gazette, viz., " Married, in the north parish of
not have sold him if he had known he was to die so soon ; that money could not compensate for the satisfaction afforded the faithful, poor slave.
Capt. Hinman once took a wealthy planter prisoner, and brought him to this country, which forined a friendship for life between them. He frequently had casks of old Jamaica sent to him at New London, with fruits, preserves, &c., as long as the parties lived. Mrs. Day says she well remembers (1841) "When one Brasha, as then pronounced, came out to New London to visit her father," and says, "I can now hear him call Sambo (his servant) in the morning to dress him." Capt. Hinman once took a Scotchman, son of a rebel, Highland chief; his mother an English Lord's daughter ; and when the prisoners were exchanged, McNeil dropped upon his knees, and said to Capt. Hinman, " Sir, you are my father and king, I will serve no other, nor leave you ever." He lived with Capt. Hinman's family twenty years, and was as faithful to them as the dial to the sun.
Mrs. Hinman was no less a patriot than her husband, as is shown by the following facts. Benedict Arnold, when true to his country, often dined with Capt. Hinman at his house, in New London. After Arnold turned traitor and came on his expedition to burn New London, Capt. Hinman was absent at sea and daily expected to return. His absence caused his wife to remain in New London, and risk her life in the conflagration, when nearly all its inhabitants had fled. When Arnold first entered the town, slie was at the front window of the house of Judge Law, and as Arnold came up ; he recognized her, and shook hands with her, and asked her to point out the house of Judge Law, the printing-office, and post-office, the three he was the most desirous destroy on account of their valuable documents. She pointed out to him many houses, and begged of him to save her property, which she said was three houses, which he did, and the very three he most desired to destroy. Mrs. Hinman witnessed the conflagration, and bloody contest, from the top of Judge Law's house. She saw with rapture the British beaten down the hill twice, and saw them gain it the third time, with grief and horror ; and all know the savage and brutal masacre which followed. During a part of this conflagration, Gen. Arnold was seated upon his horse, near a window of the house where Mrs. Hinnan was in, and con- tinued there for some tinie. A soldier had deposited a gun in the closet. She went to the closet and took it out. Arnold near by on his horse, and unknown to him, she raised the gun, took good aim at him, and pulled the trigger; but the gun was not loaded. Had it been loaded, she would have immortalized her name, avenged lier country's wrongs, and accom- plished her patriotic object. Arnold heard the click of the pan, but she so soon withdrew the musket that he suspected nothing, seeing her quiet at the window. He saved the three houses pointed out by Mrs. Hinman. (See Mrs. H. Day's Letters.)

HINMAN, NOBLE, son of Andrew, sen'r, and younger brother of Capt. Elisha Hinman, was Capt. at Woodbury, April, 1737. He removed from Southbury Society to New London, with his brothers Elisha and Nathan, about 1760, they removed nearly at the same time, where Noble was a merchant; some of his papers, as early as 1763, have been found in the Law family. His business advertisements, are also found in the New London papers, as late as 1776. Mr. Richard Law, of New London, purchased of Noble Hinman, a negro inan Juba, for which Noble Hinman, receipted the payment, dated, New Lon- don, Oct. 29, 1763. Juba enlisted into the Continental army ; (the papers of his enlistment are now in the possession of E. E. Law, Esq., of Philadelphia, dated June 2, 1777, at Milford, Conn.)

* S. G. Drake, Esq., Editor of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, and Antiquarian Journal, in his obituary notice of David C. Hinman, Esq., says, " Mr. David C. Hin- man, d. at New Haven, March 9, 1849. An engraver of much skill. Mr. Hinman, has done great service to his country by his excellent taste in producing many excellent portraits never before engraved in this country. He had just completed some, which do him great credit, and had he lived to carry out his intention, our history would not have gone without many of the portraits so necessary to illustrate it, and which he felt had been shamefully neglected." This tribute of respect, was strictly due to Mr. Hinman, and not the half told of his talent for engrav ing and painting.

The first Jonas Hinman, received his portion of his patrimonial estate at Ket- tletown, in Southbury, where he settled, lived and died, and must have been a large landholder, as his six sons were all farmers, and all settled there on farms sufficient to make them comfortable. One son and one daughter yet sur- vive. Jonas' family have been known as the Kettletown Hinmans. The land there was originally purchased of the Indians for one brass kettle ; hence the name of Kettletown.
