HINMAN, EDWARD, EsQ., b. April 12, 1730, bap. April, 1730, (known as Lawyer Ned,) son of Judge Noah Hinman, of Woodbury. He was the first lawyer in the Southbury society, and was well read in his profession, a inan of powerful intellect, and clear perception upon all subjects to which his attention was turned ; a slow, distinct, but nasal delivery, not only in his usual conver- sation, but also at the Bar. His arguments were concise and always to the point in issue, before the court, never a word too many, and ever enough to explain his views of the law and facts in his case on trial ; and his standing as a lawyer was such, and his integrity as a man so well known to the courts, that his brief and forcible arguments generally proved successful with the court and jury. He was at the Bar in Litchfield county, with such lawyers as Andrew Adams, Tappin Reeve, Uriah Tracy, John Allen, Thompson, Can- field, and others, all of them men who would be ornaments in their profession at any age.
He was appointed at Woodbury, in a town meeting held Sept. 19, 1775, chairman of the Committee of Inspection, an office which no doubtful Whig, at that day, could obtain. And as chairman of said committee in 1776, in- formed the General Assembly of Conn., that the Committee of Safety for the State of New York, on the 21st day of Oct., 1776, sent to him nine prisoners of war, eight sailors, and one child, taken on Staten Island in the stunmer of 1776 ; that said nine prisoners had been stationed at Pound Ridge, N. Y., and the Com- mittee of Safety there feared the place was not secure for the prisoners to reside there longer, being so near the enemy. Mr. Hinman and the committee doubted whether the Committee of Safety were authorized by the resolves of the Continental Congress to send said prisoners into Connecticut, or the com- mittee in Connecticut to provide for them; but stated they had provided for them, and appointed Col. Increase Mosely to take charge of them until further instruction from the Assembly. The legislature ordered the committee to pro- vide for them. (Col. Record.) He was allowed by the Assembly, £22, 16s., 9d., for taking charge of said prisoners.
He resided at White Oak,* in Southbury, and was a useful and active

Whig in the war of the Revolution. Tories and prisoners were committed to his charge for safe keeping. He represented the town in the legislature, 1773, one session, but preferred his profession to any political honors or offices. He m. Ann Curtis, July 18, 1764, of Woodbury, a most agreeable and intelligent lady. They had children, viz.,
1. Sarah Ann, bap. July, 1765; m. Major Timothy Hinman, July, 1792.
2. Simeon, Esq., bap. March, 1766 ; never m.
3. Cyrus, Esq., graduated at Yale College, 1789, a lawyer; d. 1800, unmarried,
4. Ann Sarah, d. July 23, 1791, aged 17 years.
HINMAN, SIMEON, EsQ., son of Edward, Esq., (Lawyer Ned,) bap. 1766, graduated at Yale College in 1784, a lawyer by profession and practice at Southbury, and lived and d. in the house in which he was born. He was a gentleman of superior talents, a good speaker, and shrewd in the management of his cases ; but he, like many young men left with a fortune, preferred his pleasures to devoting his time to his law books ; when, had he received a far less patrimonial estate, and more necessity of attending to his profession, he would have occupied the highest standing at the Bar in Conn. Being a man of great humor, and fond of company, and a firm friend to his friends, he spent much of his time with his associates. Though he was a member of the State Legislature in 1803, and in May, 1811, he disliked the responsibility of being a member, and once being applied to by his friends to be held up as a candi- date for a representative to the General Assembly, declined the offer upon the ground that he preferred sleeping in his own bed at home, to the honors of legislation. He never m., yet he was peculiarly fond of ladies' society. He d. at Southbury in June, 1825, aged about sixty years.
HINMAN, CYRUS, EsQ., son of lawyer Edward, of Southbury, and brother of Simeon, Esq., graduated at Yale College in 1789 ; read law, and was admitted to the practice at the Bar in Conn. He was a young man of promis- ing talents, but d. in April, 1800, at Southbury, soon after he entered on the practice of his profession. He never m., so that it will be noted that neither of the sons of " Lawyer Ned " left children. Yet his dau'r Sarah Ann m. a Hin- man, and left a son Edward, who was also a bachelor. He d. in 1855, aged about 60. No male heir of lawyer Edward's branch of Judge Noah Hinman's family is now left, bearing the name of Hinman, and only one female, and she not m.
HINMAN, ABIJAH, son of Judge Noah, b. March, 1733. He m. Rebecca Minor, of Woodbury, May 8, 1757, and had children b. at Woodbury, Conn., viz.,
1. Adoniram, bap. 1757.
2. Wait, bap. 1760.
3. Ruth Emm, bap. 1762.
4. Abigail, b. 1764.
name was derived from the fact, that the first explorers encamped upon this ground, under a large white oak tree, situated in the north part of what has since been called Southbury, when the first explorers of the town came there. This tree was ever kept sight of by the first settlers and their descendants. It finally decayed, and fell in 1808. Parts of the trunk were preserved after its fall, by Shaderack Osborn, Esq., in 1808, and S. S. Mitchell, Esq, procured a block of it, which is yet in possession of Mrs. Whitlock, of Southbury.
