HINMANS, OF LEE, MASS., Capt. David Porter, was from Waterbury, Conn., to Woodbury, where he became a militia captain, and had a good estate ; his farm was two miles south of the village of Southbury, where he resided sev- eral years, but had no children. He m. Dolly Booth, dau'r of Gideon; (he, Gideon, d. at Monkton, Vt., aged 99 years, nearly 40 years since.) Elijah Hin- man, then of Southbury, had a large family, and several promising sons; Capt. Porter, being much pleased with his son Amasa, proposed to the boy's father, to take this son and make him heir to his estate, to which at length he acceded, and his son went into the family as his adopted son; Capt. Porter, also adopted Anne Booth, a young sister of his wife; (this Anne Booth, was also sister of Rachel, who m. Joel Chaffee, of Sharon, Conn. ) About two years after the war, he sold his farm at Southbury, and removed to Lee, Mass. Capt. Porter, was a Capt. of a company most of the war of the Revolution. Amasa, his adopted son, went with him into the service as his waiter, and eventually enlisted into the continental service during the war, and when the war closed, he came out of the service with the rank of lieutenant; when Capt. Porter, sold his posses- sions at Sonthbury, and removed his family to Lee, it was little less than a dense wilderness ; he purchased a farm and entered the wilderness, with his wife and two adopted children ; at this time Amasa, had m. Anne, the adopted daughter of Capt. Porter, and the four continued to live in the same house and family ; while thus happily situated. Shay's rebellion broke out by the soldiers who had not been paid for their services and other causes, and sonie who had not been soldiers favored Shay's project, while the authorities favored General Lincoln, or court party, so called. After Gen. Shay and his party were sub- dued, many of Shay's men, rather than to submit and take the oath of Lincoln's allegiance (as they styled it) left the State of Massachusetts, of which number Amasa was one, saying, as he left his family, "I am one of that family of Hinmans who never stoop to be conquered." He went to Quoeman's Patent in the State of New York, where he purchased a farm ; after a few years his title proved bad, in consequence of it, he lost his farm and all his labor upon it. He then went to what is called Greenville, or Greenfield, where he pur- chased another farm and cleared it for cultivation, and d. there about. 1828. His family went also to Quoemans with him, while Capt. Porter, remained at

Amasa Hinman, had children : Ransom, Esq., of Lee ; Hawley, Esq., a lawyer in Toronto, Upper Canada; no children living; David, d. in Huron County, Ohio, where he was high sheriff at his death, left an only daughter ; Amasa, also had six daughters, two of whom are now living.
HINMAN, RANSOM, EsQ., son of Amasa and Anne, of Lee, returned from Quoemans, to live with Capt. Porter, when young, as his adopted child, and they continued so to live, until Capt. Porter, d. in 1828. Mr. Hinman, was b. in Lee, and is now one of the oldest and most respectable inhabitants, and has been for many years one of the most accurate land surveyors in Mass. He m. Mary Battelle ; she was b. at Tyrringham, Mass., and has had five children, viz.,
1. Henrietta, m. Mathew Laflin ; she d. in Canton, Conn., and left two sons.

SAMUEL HINMAN, SECOND SON OF SERGEANT EDWARD HINMAN, OF STRATFORD, AND DESCENDANTS.
SAMUEL HINMAN, son of Sergeant Edward, of Stratford, and Edward, father of Samuel, had house-lots at Woodbury, (as says Cothren,) as early as 1682. When a division in 1702, was made of the meadow on Shepaug river, in Woodbury, to the land-holders or heads of families there, the names of Ben- jamin, Titus, and Samuel Hinman, are found in the list. In April, 1712, of those rated in Woodbury to buy the North Purchase, were Noah Hinman, rated 2s., 2d. ; Benjamin Hinman, 6s., 6d. ; Adam Hinman, 2s., 2d. ; Titus Hinman, 5s. 5d. ; Samuel Hinman, 3s., 3d. ; and Andrew Hinman, 2s., 2d. He married, but had no children, except one adopted daughter; no dates of the death of either of them.

July 12, 1654, at which time he was located there. His marriage to Elizabeth Lum, both of Woodbury, in Fairfield county, July 12, 1684, is the first mar- riage recorded upon Woodbury records, certified by Justice Kickbell, who m. them and declared them man and wife. Benjamin, sen'r, was taxed in Wood- bury, in 1712, for the purchase of the North Purchase, )Bethlem.) His wife Elizabeth, united with the church in Woodbury, June 14, 1691. Benjamin, senior, represented Woodbury in the General Court of the Colony, twice in 1711. His representing the town in the Legislature proves fully his standing in the church, and town of Woodbury, at that time. He, and his wife, Eliza- beth, had 13 children, who were the progenitors of this branch of Edward, senior's family, viz. :
