Biographical Information |
|||
 Sgt.
Edward Hinman, was the first of the Hinman line to settle in the New
World. It is generally believed, though not thoroughly documented,
that Edward had been Sergeant-at-Arms and bodyguard to King Charles I,
and fled to America after the execution of Charles I in 1649 to avoid
persecution at the hands of the king's archenemy, Oliver Cromwell.
The Hinman arms are found in Burke's Peerage.
Edward Hinman's presence in Stratford, CT is documented by a land grant issued in 1651. The successive generations of the Hinman family were among the most prominent settlers of the Connecticut colony, and in the later struggle for independence from British rule. The Hinman name appears throughout the history of New England as soldiers, militiamen, and minutemen. Edward's eldest son, Capt. Titus Hinman, was one of the original settlers of Woodbury, CT, and his first wife was Samuel Jenner's step-sister, Hannah Coe. The Hinmans, Jenners, Coes, and Hurlbuts would intermarry several times throughout the following half century. Among the witnesses to Edward's last will and testament was Moses Johnson, another name that will later appear prominently in the Jenner lineage. |
