THOMAS LINCOLN, "Weaver." 



1. Thomas, styled the " weaver," was a bro. of Daniel Lincoln the 

 "husbandman," who d. here unm., 5 Apr. 1644; and also of Samuel 

 Lincoln, Sr., who was a younger bro. Thomas the "weaver" came 

 to New Eng. in 1633 with his cousin Nicholas Jacob, and resided for 

 ab. two yrs. at Watertown and Charlestown. He had a grant of land 

 in Hing. at Weary-all (Otis) Hill in 1635 ; and July 3, 1636, a house- 

 lot of five acres on the south side of Town (South) St. He was twice 

 m. ; but I have not ascertained the surname of either of his wives. 

 The chris. name of his first w. was Susanna. She d. March, 1641. The 

 chris. name of his sec. w. was Mary. She survived him, and d. in 

 Hing. 21 Dec. 1683, being then, as the record says, " an aged woman." 

 He d. in Hing. 2 Sept. 1675, leaving no ch. His will, which is with- 

 out date, was witnessed by Edmund Pitts and Josiah Loring. It was 

 presented at Boston, 26 Oct. 1675. In that instrument he bequeaths 

 " all my moveables, and land, orchards, gardens, and meadows to Mary 

 Lincoln my beloved wife. After her decease, Daniel Lincoln, my 

 nephew, and son of my brother Samuel, shall have the house-lot I 

 now dwell upon which was given me by the town of Hingham ; also, 

 one half of my salt-meadow at Abraham's well, and one half of my 

 planting lot at Weary-all Hill. To Samuel Lincoln, my nephew, the 

 eldest son of my brother Samuel, the house-lot I formerly purchased of 

 Jarvis Goold, deceased. Also to brother Samuel a specified sum ; and 

 to my other nephews and nieces who are the children of my brother 

 Samuel, viz. : Mary Lincoln, Mordecai Lincoln, Thomas Lincoln, 

 Martha Lincoln, and Sarah Lincoln," sums varying from £5 to £12, 

 each. As no mention is made of Samuel's youngest dau. Rebecca, it 

 is more than prob. that the will was made before her birth.
