LINCOLN.
THOMAS LINCOLN, "Cooper."
a 1. THOMAS, the "cooper," and also known as " maltster," came from the west of England, says tradition, and settled in our Hing. ab. 1635-6. His name, however, does not appear upon our records until 1636, when there was "granted unto Thomas Lincoln, cooper, five acres of land at the west end of the town for a house-lot, butting on the town street eastward, and upon the common westward, and with the land of Francis Smith northward, and with the land of Thomas Nichols southward." This lot he afts. sold or exchanged for one on North, near Beal St., which was his homestead. He also had a small trian- gular lot of land granted him subsequent to the first distribution of lots in 1635, at what is now the corner of North and Lincoln Sts. This (the triangular lot) he afts. gave with malt-house, etc., to his youngest son, Benjamin. His w., whom he m. in Eng. ab. 1630, was Anis, or Avith Lane, a dau. of William Lane. She d. in Hing. Feb. 13 or 14, 1682-83. Hing. town rec's say, "Annis Lincoln dyed 14 February, 1682-83 ;" while David Hobart, son of Rev. Peter Hobart, recorded the event in his diary as foll .: "February 13, 1683. The wife of Thomas Lincoln the cooper dyed." At the time the present meeting-house of the First Parish was erected (1680-81), Thomas Lin- coln, cooper, was one of the five elderly gentlemen to whom was as- signed a sitting " in the seate under ye pulpit ;" while for Mrs. Lincoln a place was allotted " in the second seate next ye pew." He d. at his residence on North St., West Hing., 28 Sept. 1691. In his will, dated 13 July, 1688, proved 27 Oct. 1692, he mentions three sons and one dau. ; s. Joseph to have the home place. Joseph's son Nehemiah came next into possession, and having no issue he left it to his nephew Israel Lincoln. A large part of the original homestead is still in possession of this branch of the family. The
