p284: "Thomas, the son of Samuel, sen. was born in England, 1618. He married Mary Richards 1644,
and had one daughter Mary, same year. He married a second wife, widow Mary Glover, 1659. He was
an assistant and magistrate many years. He was elected Governor 16S0, and continued annually in that
office until the charter of the Colony was cancelled, and the union with Massachusetts took place in 1692 :
with the exception of 1686 and 7, (under Andros, General Governor), when he was one of the Council ; and
too good a patriot, we may add, to approve of the tyranny of Andros. He died 1706. Hubbard says he was
seventy-three years of age. Prince says eighty-eight: and from hence other writers have been misled. But
we ascertain the probable correctness of those who state his age at eighty-eight, by recurring to the facts
that he was married in 1644: and bore arms in Barnstable 1643; and of course he could not have been born
in 1633, as some state."

Glover, widow of Nathaniel Glover...Gov. Thomas Hinckley died April 25, 1705, aged 87, not 85, as
stated on the monument recently erected in his memory."
