biography

From The Lincoln Family Magazine by Clemens, William Montgomery, 1860-1931, ed. Published 1916 Topics Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865, Lincoln family. "Thomas Lincoln of Hingham, England and some of his Descendants," by M.L.P. 1917. page 82-83

Thomas (3) Linkon, born 21 April, 1656, was living 11 March, 1733, when he conveyed land to son Jonathan. He died about 1745.

He married, in 1679, Mary Stacy, daughter of Richard and Abigail Stacy. It is thought that Richard Stacy came to Taunton from Salem, Mass. Certainly he was in Taunton in 1643, as in the list of names of the first "train-band" enrolled in Taunton in 1643, appears the name of "Richard Stacye." He died in 1687, and his son-in-law, Thomas Linkon was granted administration on his estate 7 December, 1687.

Thomas (3) Linkon was called "senior" in 1698, and "grand-senior" in 1708. His house stood not far from his father's, near where Morris Lincoln now lives, west from the Agricultural Grounds, at the head of Shores street. It was burned only a few years ago.

The children of Thomas (3) Linkon and Mary (Stacy) Linkon were:

• Thomas, born 1680, wife not known, had three sons, Thomas (5), Gideon (5), Isaac (5);
• Willam, born 1682, married Rebecca Walker;
• Nathaniel, born, 1684, married Alice Andrews;
• Jonathan, born 1686, married Hannah Andrews;
• Benjamin, born 1689, married, first, Elizabeth; married, second, Marcy Woodward;
• Hannah, born 1692, married as second wife, Edmond Andrews;
• Lydia, born 1694, married Ephraim Kittle (or Kittrell);
• Constant, born 1696, married Nathaniel Burt.

The statement that there were sons Silas and Nathan and daughter Tabitha is probably an error. Silas (5) was son of William (4), and married Hannah Wade of Bridgewater. Tabitha (5) was his sister, and lived to be very old, died unmarried, and as Nathan was given Nathaniel's (4) wife (by James Minor Lincoln), this was merely a confusion of names.
