It is uncertain who was James' father, or from what part of Conn. he originated ; yet from some facts it appears he was of the Strat- ford branch, who descended from Edward, Jr.
HINMAN, HAZAEL, must have been an early settler at Durham, Conn., as he died there, Dec. 14, 1759. His wife was Ann. They had children re- corded there, viz., Sarah, b. April 21, 1757; Enoch, b. Dec. 30, 1758; (so says the record.) James Hinman also appears on that record in 1777 and 1791, who died a few years since, and has a son James, Jr., with a wife and one daughter now living at Durham. James, sen'r, and Israel Burrit, of Durham, were employed in Oct., 1777 by the selectmen of the town of Durham to trans- port articles of clothing to the companies of Captains Robinson, Camp, and Norton, of the regiment of Lieut. Col. Baldwin, at Fishkill, N. Y., for which they asked compensation of the legislature of the State of Conn. This James, sen'r was probably the son of Hazael, and who was not recorded there. Whose son Hazael was, is not found, or where he was from when he settled at Dur- ham. He probably was of the Stratford branch, but it is uncertain. 'No ac- count of Enoch is found on the record of Durham, except his birth ; perhaps died young.
Thirty emigrants went from Durham, Conn., to Durham, N. Y., in the first settlement of Durham, N. Y., among which were William Hinman, (probably son of Hazael or James,) with Dea. Jonathan, Abial, Curtis, Dea. David, Aaron, Dea. Noah, James and Seth Baldwin, John and Silas Hull, Stephen and Ebenezer Tibbals, Walter and Cyrus Field, Daniel Coe, David and Daniel Merwin, Phineas Canfield, and others. Mrs. Hays, Post, Bushnell, Mrs. John Hull, and Mrs. Stephen Tibbals, were Baldwins before married.
Seven by the name of Hinman had graduated at Yale College in 1827; and Clark T. Hinman at Dartmouth College in 1842.
HINMAN, BETHUEL, said to have been from Woodbury, but probably from Durham, Conn., had a son Justus b. in Wallingford, Conn. Not known who he married. He had children, viz., Justus, Reuben, Phebe, Joy, and Rhoda.
HINMAN, JUSTUS, last above, m. Alice Spencer, of Durham, Conn, and had six sons and two daughters, viz., John S., Henry J. J., Nathan P., George W., Franklin E., Harvey D., Charlotte, and Eliza C. Justus, soon after his marriage, removed to Columbia county, N. Y., where he died in 1855, and most of his children were born in Columbia county. Nathan P., son of Justus, m: and d. and left a son Justus, who is now m. Henry is m. as well as Har- vey D., and Eliza, and all living. The mother lives in Kinderhook, Columbia county.
HINMAN, REUBEN, brother of Justus, m. Polly Gardner, in New Hartford, Oneida county, N. Y., and had four sons, viz., David, Reuben, Elihu, and Joseph ; and five daughters, Lucinda, Betsey, Cloy, and Phebe.
HINMAN, JOHN SPENCER, son of Justus, m. Margaret Pausley, at Mid- dleburg, Schoharie county, N. Y., by whom he had children, viz., Nathan P., b. Oct. 10, 1832, now aged 22,) Chauncey W., Harvey Dwight, Helen Eliza,

Mary Jane, and Charles Addison. His wife, Margaret died, and he m. 2d wife, Nancy Pausley, and had issue, 1. Alice Christiana ; 2. John Spencer, Jr. ; 3. Albert E .; 4. Catherine; 5. a child not named ; all unmarried, and were all born at Middleburg, N. Y. Nathan P., son of John Spencer Hin- man, of Middleburgh, is by profession a promising young lawyer, located at Schoharie, C. H., in the State of New York, and is unmarried.
Some facts appear that Justus lived for a time with his father in Canaan, Conn, before the family removed to Kinderhook, N. Y., and that Charlotte the eldest daugliter of Justus, was born in Canaan. Some of Samuel Hinman's descendants, of Goshen, Conn., settled in Canaan, Conn., and from the fact that Charlotte was born there, shows that Justus and his father lived there, and went from there to Columbia county, N. Y. If this fact is so, Justus and his father and family were from Goshen to Canaan. They are probably descend- ants of Edward Hinman, Jr., of Stratford, by his son Capt. Samuel, who set- tled at Goshen, an adjoining town to Canaan. Yet as Justus m. in Durham, where Hazael Hinman lived, it is some evidence that they were connected with that family, as Justus' father was for a time in Wallingford, where Justus was born. It is not certain that Bethuel was father of Justus and Reuben ; if Bethuel, of Wallingford, was father of Justus, Reuben, &c., he was not from Wood- bury, as but two of this name was born at Woodbury, neither of which went to Wallingford, and neither m. Alice Spencer, of Durham, Conn. The father of Justus might have been a son of Hazael, the first of the name at Durham, and was perhaps also father of James and William. The last removed from Durham, Conn., to Durham, N. Y. This is one of the uncertain branches of the family, that its original ancestor can not be found, only by the old bibles of this branch, as no record evidence is found to settle their progenitor.
JEDEDIAH HINMAN, is found on record at Southbury, where his son Benjamin was bap. Feb. 15, 1767, one of the descendants of Edward, Jr., of Stratford. Jedediah left Southbury, and no other fact is found of him there.
LEMUEL HINMAN removed with his wife into Southbury from the north part of Litchfield county, before 1800, where he remained several years with children, and in old age again removed, not known to what place, or whose son he was, but was a descendant of Edward, Jr., of Stratford. He had a daughter Charlotte, and others.
Being aware as the writer is, of the very many imperfections in what is here published of the descendants of Sergeant Edward Hinman, of Stratford, it is with great reluctance that it is given to the public, as several descendants are not here traced, several of which can not be, without great expense and labor ; and feeling that what is here published would be entirely lost to the family if not now published, I give it to the family with its imperfections, rather than to entirely lose the great labor and expense of collecting such facts as are amassed here ; and I further add that the very reduced price at which it is sold, only pays the printing, paper, and binding, and leaves no remuneration for the ex- pense and labor of collecting the facts. It is therefore hoped that every living Hinman, (if 1000 will supply them,) will purchase and preserve at least one

copy of them ; while one of the name has signed for 60 Nos., and several for 10 Nos. each, one for 20 Nos., &c.
Descendants usually have some curiosity to know the size, general appear- ance of stature, color of eyes, and color of the complexion, of their first ancestor in this country. As no portrait is found of Sergeant Edward Hinman, they are left to depend entirely upon tradition for these facts. He was about six feet in height, with light large eyes, and muscular in frame, having been an officer, was straight in his person, with an easy movement. The black eyes, now so frequently in the family, have crept in through the numerous wives connected with his descendants. Many stories have been related of the great muscular powers not only of Sergeant Edward Hinman, of Stratford, but of several of his early descendants. Those of the name were uniformly of a light complex - ion, tall in person, and in advanced life became corpulent.
Payne Kenyon Kilbourne, Esq., in his Biographical History of the County of Litchfield, when speaking of this family says, p. 357, " This has long been one of the most respectable and prominent names in that part of the county embraced in the present town of Southbury," and refers the reader to his ap- pendix for facts. See also Cothren's History of Woodbury, in which town Southbury was embraced until it was incorporated in 1786, and annexed to New Haven county in 1806. Also see Hollister's History of Conn.
Three, of the four sons of Sergeant Edward Hinman, had children, all had large families, whose descendants are now scattered throughout this country, and have produced a full share of respectable families. Samuel, the 2d son of Sergeant Edward, early removed and settled at Woodbury, (in Southbury,) but unfortunately had no children, except an adopted child, which he caused to be baptised. Who he married, or when either himself or his wife died, is not found. He had owned the first parsonage ground at Southbury, but had disposed of it before 1732-3, and was probably deceased previous to that time. He was a reputable good farmer. The record says the orchard and house on the parsonage lot in Southbury in 1732-3, had been the property of Samuel Hinman. Samuel and Edward Hinman, Thomas Appleby, Thomas Bedient, and others, had lots assigned them in Woodbury before 1682, and were house- keepers: Capt. Titus, Samuel, and Benjamin, sons of Sergeant Edward Hin- man, are found on the list of persons in 1702, on the division of the meadows on Shepaug river in Woodbury, to be land-holders and heads of families. Not much of the family history of Samuel Hinman is found upon the Wood- bury records.
