THOMAS TINKER, THE FIRST OF THE NAME IN AMERICA.
THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT.
On the nth day of November, 1620 (old style), there was drawn up an agreement on board of the Alayflower in Ply- mouth harbor and signed by forty-one of the principal men of the first band of Pilgrims, a platform of government known as the Compact, and which gave to these people the claim of being the first "Signers " of this great and free United States of America.
The following is the full text of the Compact :

The Thomas Tinker who signed the Compact on board the Mayflcnvcr at Plymouth in 1620, is the first of the name in America, and is known to have come from Scrooby, in Notting- hamshire, and was probably of a Yorkshire family. He came with his wife and child, but all three died in the first sickness-

RECORD OF JOHN TINKER.
RECORD OF JOHN TINKER.
"About 1638 there came to New England a man by the name of John Tinker, from whom we are undoubtedly descended. The name of John Tinker occurs frequently in the early records of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Of remarkable versatility, he appears as a manufacturer, a trader with the Indians, an importer of goods and Colonists from England, an agent for Governor Winthrop, a successful lawyer, and, as a "grave and able man," he expounded the Scriptures in the absence of the minister. His usual designation of "Mr." Tin- ker, a very rare title in those days, is said to indicate that he was either the graduate of a University, or had high social rank in England. And his use of " T. T." seal suggests his connection, either as a nephew or a grandson, with Thomas Tinker who came in the Mayfiowcr.
" The following, from the pen of John Tinker, seems to elim- inate the possibility of his being a son of Thomas Tinker : ' / liiould intreatc your worshipps faiiour that this letter to my mother Jiiay be conveyed by the first oportunyty, for it is mater of consequence and I shall rest bound to your worshipp.' It is quoted from the postscript of a letter to Governor Winthrop, senior, written February 26, 1639 (1640),. at London, England, by John Tinker. This is pretty good evidence that John Tinker was not a son of Thomas Tinker of the Mayflower. His letters to the two governors Winthrop may be read in the Massa- chusetts Historical Society Collections, Vol. vii, 4th series. Con- cerning these letters some very complimentary things were said by James Russell Lowell in the first series of ^ Among my Books,' under the title * New England Two Centuries Ago.'
"A clue, possibly helping to identify John Tinker's mother, is found in the two following records : Sarah Tinker, aged fifteen years, was a passenger on the Blessing, 1635, i" the company of Mr. William Vassall, and was associated with them at Scituate, where Sarah joined the church, 1637. Apparently
4 TINKER GENEALOGY.
Mr. Tinker's mother is to be sought at Scituate under the name of a second husband in 1640.
"Another clue seems to point to the name of his father: In a letter dated July 3, 1636, Adam Winthrop, writing to his brother, John Winthrop, says : '/ did ask Hemj Tinker s boy whet]icr he had bout any gates for Mr. Jase. ' — {J^ass. Hist. Soc. Col., 5th series. Vol. viii, page 219.)" ,
[Extracts from Caulkins's " History of New London, Conn."] NOTES OF JOHN TINKER.
May, 1660, the General Court granted New London to have an assistant and three commissioners with full powers to issue small causes. For the year ensuing Mr. John Tinker was chosen Assistant; Mr. Bruen, James Rogers and John Smith, Commissioners.
February 25, 1659-60. At this annual town meeting a paper of instruction and advice was prepared for the use of the towns- men and sanctioned by the public voice, which furnishes a clear summary of the various duties of those unsalaried officers, called townsmen or selectmen, so essential in the organization of our New England towns. This document appears to have been drawn up in answer to a previous application of the townsmen, "to know of the town what their duties were." In substance as follows :
1. To keep up the town bounds, and see that the fence-view- ers discharge their duty with respect to individual property.
2. To take care that children are educated, and servants well-ordered and instructed, and no person suffered to live in idleness.
3. That the laws of jurisdiction be maintained; no inmates harbored above two or three weeks without consent of the town; and the magazine kept supplied with arms and ammu- nition.
4. That the streets, lanes, highways and commons be pre- served free from all encroachments, and that they appoint some equal way for the clearing of the streets in the town from trees, shrubs, bushes and underwood, and call forth the
NOTES OF JOHN TINKER. 5
inhabitants in convenient time and manner for effecting the same.
5. That they take care of the meeting-house and provide glass windows for it, with all convenient speed.
6. That they consider of some absolute and perfect way and course to be taken for a perfect platforme of settling and maintaining of the recordes respecting the towne, that they be fully, clearly and fairly kept, for the use, benefit and peace- ful state of the town, and after posterity.
7. That they consult together and with the moderator of all matters to be propounded at town meetings, so as better to effect needful things and prevent needless questions and cogitations.
8. That they determine all matters concerning the Indians that inhabit amongst us.
9. That they regulate the felling, sawing and transporting of timber, masts, boards, planks, pipe-staves, etc.
10. That they see that the ferries well kept.
11. That they determine all complaints respecting land grants; except the difficult and doubtful cases, which must be referred to the town.
12. That they have regular meetings for business, and give notice of the time and place thereof, by a paper upon the meeting-house.
Signed by John Tinker, Moderator.
" The Harbor's Mouth Farm was an original grant to Mr. Blinman, but was afterward the property of John Tinker." — ^'a.i^^ 95-
" Soon after this last date (i i April, 1659), Mr. Blinman came to New London to .settle some remaining affairs, and to em- bark with his family for England by way of Newfoundland. His house and house-lot he sold to William Addis, and his farm at Harbor's Mouth to John Tinker. The witnesses to this last deed were Samuel Rogers and Ezekiel Blinman." — Pai^e 116.
"December i, 1661. 'Mr. Tinker, James Morgan and Oba- diah Bruen are chosen to seat the people in the meeting-house, which, they doing, the inhabitants are to rest silent.'" — Page 132.

" Why Thomas Bowen should receive a part of the money given for ecclesiastical purposes is not explained. He had dwelt but a short time in the place, and very soon removed to Rehoboth, where he died in 1663. Mr. Tinker is supposed to have led the public worship before Mr. Bulkley's arrival. The town voted him a compensation of ^6. He was rate-maker, collector, and commissioner for the year 1662, and also an assistant of the colony." — Page 133.
"Governor Winthrop issued an order April 25th, 1661, for a court of investigation to sit at New London, and examine the affairs of William Addis, on complaint of Thomas Reavell, the principal creditor of Mr. Addis. The court sat in May and consisted of Deputy Governor Mason and the assistant and commissioners of New London, viz : Mr. Tinker, Mr. Bruen and Mr. Rogers." — Page 147.
"The years 1661 and 1662 were noted for strife and turbu- lence among the inhabitants. Cases of calumny and riot were common. The disorderly elements of society were in motion, and the influence of the wise and good was scarcely sufficient to keep them in subjection. No clear account of any one case can be given, as they appear before us only in the form of depositions, protests, suits at law, fines and complaints. Several of the inhabitants accused Mr. Tinker, the assistant and first magistrate in town, of speaking treasonable words, and of using dishonorable means to obtain testimony against his adversaries; and Mr. Tinker brought suits for defamation against Messrs. Haughton, Morton, and Thomson, the Indian missionary.
" The trials were in the Particular Court, and the issue may be gathered from a passage in the records of the General Court :
" ' This Court upon consideration of Mr. Tinker's encour- agement in his place and employment, do order ^12 to be paid to him by the treasurer out of the fines imposed on Mor- ton, Haughton and Mr. Thomson.'
"Mr. Tinker was popular both with the town authorities and General Court, and had been chosen townsman, list and rate- maker, deputy and assistant. He had established a distillery in the town, and was not only licensed by the court to distill

and retail liquors, but empowered to suppress all others who sold by retail in the township. It was with little chance of success that accusations against a character so highly respected were carried before the magistrates at Hartford; that vener- able body doubtless regarded with apprehensive forebodings the new and boisterous community that was growing up under their shadow. We can at least imagine them to have some misgivings when William Morton, the constable, led off with the following pompous protest:
" ' To all whome it may concerne.
'"You may please to take notice that I, William Morton, of New London, being chosen by the Towne of New London to be a Constable and by oath being bound to execute that place faithfully, as also being a free Denison of that most famous country of England, and have taken an oath of that land to be true to his Royall Majesty or now Gracious King Charles the Seacond of Glorious renowne, I count that I cannot be faithfull to my oath nor to his maiestie, neither should I be faithfull to the country wch lyes under reproaches for such manner of speeches and cariages already wherefore having evidences that Mr. John Tinker, who is lookt at as one that should exicute Justice and sworne by oath soe to do, espetially to studdie the honor of our Royall King and of his Life and happie being, yet notwithstanding the saide Tinker, all though it was notoriously knowne unto him that some had spoken Treason against the King in a high degree to the great dishonor of his Royall maiestie and farther some pressed him againe and againe to doe Justice for the King, yet although they declared what and what was to be testified by one there preasent, he flung away the testimony, wherefore in the name of his maiesty whose deputy I am, I doe protest against the saide Tinker that he has con- sealed treason against the King, contrary to the Lawes of England, so as I conceive has brought himselfe under treason. And as I doe protest against him I desire all that read this or heare of it to be my witnesses, — published by me, 20 March, 1662.
'"WILLL'VM MORTON, Constable. " ' In New London in New England.' "
" A writ of attachment was issued by the Court, at their May session, against William Morton and Richard Haughton, bringing them under a bond of ^500 to appear and answer to the suit of Mr. John Tinker, before His Majesty's Court of Justice in Hartford, the next September. In October of the same year, before any accommodation or decision had taken place, Mr. Tinker died suddenly in Hartford, and was honored with a funeral at the public expense. Though the principal party was thus removed from all participation in the suit, it was prolonged for several years. It was finally referred to a

committee of the Legislature in May, 1666. A curious refer- ence to what took place in the trial of the case in September, 1662, is found in a deposition of Mr. Thomson, recorded in New London:
" ' I, William Thomson, Gierke, being present when Mr. Morton had a tryall in Hartford in New England in the year of our Lord God 1662, about treason spoken against his sacred Majestic, when Mr. Mathew Allin, being the moderator in the Governor's absence, did deny to try the said cause by the laws of Old England when it was required by the said Morton that he would doe justice for the king, he answered tauntingly to the said Morton, — he should have justice, if it were to hang half a dusen of you. Further saith not. WM. THOMSON.
"' Jurator corum me, George Jordan, April 26, 1664.
"'Test Georgius Wilkins, Clericus County Surry, Virginia.' " — Pages 148, 149, 150.
"Captain Denison was himself presented at the same ses- sion of the court (1662), by the constable of Southerton, for marrying William Measure and Alice Tinker, and put under bond of ^100 to appear at Hartford in October and answer to the presentment, and likewise for such other misdemeanors as shall there be charged against him." — Page 249.
"John Tinker died at Hartford in October, 1662. The General Court ordered that the expenses of his sickness and funeral, amounting to ^8. ds. 4^., should be paid out of the public treasury. Children of John and Alice Tinker:
1. Mary, born 2 July, 1653. 4. Samuel, born i April, 1659.

3. Amos, born 28 Oct., 1657.
"Alice, relict of John Tinker, married, in 1664, William Measure, a scrivener or attorney, who subsequently removed with the family to Lyme. Mr. Measure died during the ad- ministration of Sir Edmund Andross, and his inventory, dated July 27th, 1688, is recorded in Boston. His relict, Alice, died Nov. 29th. 1 7 14, aged eighty-five years to a day." — Page 280.
"As a magistrate of Massachusetts, he (Captain Denison), performed the marriage rite for William Measure and Alice Tinker, and was immediately prosecuted by Connecticut for an illegal act, and heavily fined." — Page 334.
FIRST GENERATION.
FIRST GENERATION.
WIVES OF JOHN TINKER.
I. JOHN TINKER. Records at Gloucester, Salem, and Boston show that his first wife, Mrs. Sarah Barnes, was the widow of William Barnes, mariner, who seems to have been in the employ of William Addis, and to have died between No- vember, 1646, and March, 1648, leaving the elder of her daugh- ters to be brought up by Richard Cooke, and the younger by her husband, John Tinker. Richard Cooke was a tailor in Boston, and in June, 1639, formed a partnership with Arthur Perry, his brother-in-law; and it is noteworthy that in May, 1648, when the partnership had ceased, Perry conveyed all his real estate in Boston to Samuel Barnes of '* London in Eng- land, merchant taylor." If Richard Cooke was a brother (or possibly a brother-in-law) of Mrs. Barnes, it would account for her removal from Gloucester to Boston, as well as for his adoption of one of her daughters.
In the year 165 1 John Tinker married his second wife, whose name was Alice Homan (?).
*' Concerning John Tinker's second wife Alice. Stephen Day, the earliest printer in the Colonies, writing from * Cam- breg,' in October, 1648, to John Winthrop, Jr., at 'Famoth,' has these phrases: ' thaes ar to intret that you will be pleased to accomadat Mr. Homan with a lott. Sur, youer man John is to mare his dauter. Sur, the man will com vere comfortable, for he sales his lot wall here, and hath catel all rede.' In a a footnote the editor says that ' youer man John ' means John Tinker (see Mass. Hist. Society Collections, 5th series, Vol. i, page 364). No authority for this note has been discovered, nor has any evidence or even any hint been found that John Tinker ever had a lot in Cambridge. John Tinker, writing to John Winthrop, Jr., in August, 1659, from New London, says: 'My wives brother and family is come with me, desirous to

seate himselfe as neere where I am as may bee'; and he alludes to his help in running the saw-mill. But no Homan is found near New London until many years later. About 1659, however, there came a Richard Smith and family to Lyme, Conn., from Lancaster, Mass., where he appears as a mill- wright, and was closely associated with Mr. Tinker, and where it is recorded that he had a sister, Alice Smith. This Richard Smith married at Boston in 1654 with Joanna Quarles, a con- nection of the Puritan poet, Francis Quarles, who was born in 1592. Probably that for his second wife, John Tinker married Alice Smith, daughter of John Smith, an early settler at Sud- bury, and later at Lancaster, Mass.
"John Tinker, of Boston, between 1638 and 1641 'Leased land in Wockingham, County Berks,' from Augustin Clement, of Dorchester, N. E. In 1643 he was a partner of men in Windsor, Conn., manufacturing tar. September 26, 1651, he occupied a hired house in Boston. In 1652, as an attorney-at- law, he won a suit in the Middlesex Court. A letter, April i, 1653, from Robert Hathorne, of Bray, to his brother, William Hathorne in New England, was addressed to the care of 'Mr. Tinker, at Wm. Willsheers house, Ironmonger, ... in Bred- street, London.' John Tinker was made a freeman at Boston May 3, 1654. The next year he joined the petitioners for the the founding of Groton, Mass., and in the grant he was ap- pointed one of the selectmen. At this time and later, he was a trader with the Indians, buying beaver and other skins. Original notes of hand are preserved, with Indian marks, show- ing how some of them mortgaged to him all their prospective gains for two hunting seasons.
"He finally decided to join the first settlers of Lancaster, Mass., having received a grant of twenty acres on Gibson Hill in the most desirable part of that town. His name is the first of the five selectmen originally appointed in September, 1657, and he was clerk of the town as long as he remained there. His minutes still exist.
"In the latter part of 1658 he removed to New London, Conn., and the next year was a Deputy to the General Court of the Colony, and also Assistant, the highest offices within the gift of the people. He died in October, 1662, at Hart- ford, while engaged on public business."

CHILDREN OF JOHN TINKER i, AND HIS SECOND WIFE, ALICE.
i-i SARAH, born at Boston, Jan. 2, 165 1-2, died in infancy on Aug. 28, 1652.
1-2 MARY, born at Boston, July 2, 1653, and married Wil- liam Waller, who died before 1682.
1-3 JOHN, born at Lancaster, Mass., Aug. 4, 1655. He prob- ably died unmarried at Lyme before the 18th of June, 1688-1689, for on that day a petition was filed by his brothers, Amos and Samuel, for the land orginally set off to him. This petition would indicate that his heirs were his brothers and hence it is probable that he died childless.
1-4 AMOS, born at Lancaster, Mass., Oct. 28, 1657. This Amos was the next in the direct line of our ancestry from John to Joseph Wescott Tinker. He married Sarah Durant, daughter of George Durant on the ist day of June, 1682. He probably died at Lyme, Conn., in 1730, at the age of 73, for his will was proved on the 22d of June of that year. Six children (see Third Generation).
1-5 SAMUEL, born at New London, Conn., April i, 1659. He married Abigail Durant, daughter of George Du- rant, and sister of Sarah, wife of Amos. He died at Lyme, Conn., April 28, 1733, in the 75th year of his age.

1-4-1 JOHN TINKER, born at Lyme, Conn., Feb. 12, 1686. The records of his marriage and death have not been discovered. But his eldest child was apparently born about 1 7 14. In 1744 it was recorded that he had a wife Hannah, and his latest deed bears date in Dec, 1757. His land transfers describe him as a resident of Lyme until Aug., 1720, when he bought the interest of his brother Amos in their father's New London home- stead, and after that he is styled of the latter place, where he was chosen surveyor of highways at the town meeting of Dec. 22, 1742. Unfortunately his will has not been discovered, birth-dates of his children were not recorded in the town books, and he did not have a child baptized in infancy. Possibly this indicates that his wife was connected with the peculiar sect of Rogerenes.
Lyme Deeds, Vol. ii, p. 442 : Oct. i, 17 13, John Tinker, of Lyme, had a deed of gift, as "eldest son " of Amos Tinker, of "New London," to one-half of his father's lands, house, etc., in Lyme; ditto, p. 442, Oct. 21, 1713, John Tinker, of Lyme, had deed from his father, Amos Tinker, "of Lyme," to the same property described in the former deed, but in this the consider- ation is said to be ^125 in addition to " love "; ditto, p. 465, and also New London Deeds, Vol. ix, p. 124.' March 20, 17 14, both of the above deeds are delivered up by John Tinker, of Lyme, and he quitclaims and re- stores the Lyme property to his "Honored father, Mr. Amos Tinker, late of Lyme, now of New London."
THIRD GENERATION. 13
New London Deeds, Vol. ix, p. 69: Aug. 10, 1720, John Tinker, of Lyme, had assignment of deed from his brother, Amos Tinker, Jr., of New London, which the latter had received on the previous day from their father (see Lyme Deeds, Vol. 11, p. 442, where it is de- scribed as "one-half" of the whole farm and 50 acres noted,— the property is " bounded on the east by Duck River [partly] until it comes to the head of said river, then extending eastward; westerly on highway, north- erly on Aaron Huntley, and southerly on highway "), giving him title to one-third of the farm of his honored father at New London in Grand Neck at the Harbor's Mouth " to be possessed and improved after the decease of the father and mother of said John and Amos Tin- ker." According to ditto, Vol. viii, p. 68, same date, this assignment included i6>^ acres in the northwest cor- ner of their father's farm, bounded westerly on Ale- wife cove, easterly on " Quogonapoxitt " highway, southerly and northerly on the heirs of John Lester; also enough more of said farm to make the portion a full third of said farm, and only of this addition was possession to be delayed till the death of Amos, Sr., "and his then wife, Sarah." Ditto, Vol. viii, p. 311: Feb. 7, 1726, John Tinker of New London, for ^31 had deed from William Harris of New London, to 15^ acres in the Great Neck and 2nd tier of lots. Ditto, Vol. XIII, p. 280: Nov. 18, 1727, John Tinker of New London, for ;^i2o had deed from Jonathan Lester of New London to 9 acres and mansion house in New London. Ditto, Vol. xv, p. 137: Dec. 16, 1748, John Tinker gave his homestead to his son, Edward Tinker. Ditto, Vol. XVII, p. 139: Dec. 13, 1757, John Tinker of New London for ;^3o sold to Edward Tinker of New London, 15 acres near Alewife brook and bridge and highway. SARAH TINKER, born at Lyme, July 19, 1689. She married Ephriam Jones. Their home at first was at Lyme, but she had three children baptized at New London, July 28, 1728, "having formerly owned the covenant at Lyme."
14 TINKER GENEALOGY.
1-4-3 MARY TINKER, born at Lyme, June 2, 1692; married a Mr. Smith. On the town record of her birth the name is *' Marah," which was the spelling adopted as for "Mary" by the clerk, Joseph Peck. Her father's will calls for Mary Smith, and notes that her daughter, Elizabeth Smith, was living with him when he made his will, Aug., 1728. Of the Smiths known to be at Lyme, and of suitable age to be her husband, there were three for whom no marriage has been found: Richard Smith, born at Lyme, Aug. 29, 1678; died there as "Richard Smith, Sen.," June 24, 1745, son of Richard and (first wife) Elizabeth. Daniel Smith, born at Lyme, April 15, 1692; died there March 22, 1730, son of Richard Smith and (second wife) Elizabeth. He married at / Lyme, Dec. 7, 1726, with his cousin Elizabeth Smith, when he was 34 years old. Mary Tinker may thus have been his first wife, and a child might have gone to the Tinker grandparents after the second marriage. Quarles Smith, born about 1688, cousin of the preced- ing, son of John and Mary. He was living as late as
1733- 1-4-4 AMOS TINKER, born at Lyme about 1695; died there between March and July, 1760. He married (ist) at Lyme, Jan. 17, 17 17, with Lucy Lee, who was born there June 20, 1699; died before 1757; daughter of John and Elizabeth (Smith) Lee. He married (2nd) about 1757, with a cousin of his first wife, Susannah (Beckwith) Gilbert, widow of John Gilbert, and daugh- ter of Joseph and Mary (Lee) Beckwith. She married (3rd) Nov. 10, 1760, as his second wife, with William Brockway. Amos Tinker probably went with his father in 1714 to New London, and dwelt there until Aug., 1720, when he settled in Lyme. He joined the First Church there in July, 1741, and the Lucy Tinker who became a member in the same month was doubtless his first wife; while the Mrs. Susannah Tinker added to the rolls in April, 1758, was probably his second wife. Ne7v London Deeds, Vol. viii, pp. 68, 69: Aug. 9, 1720, Amos Tinker, Jr., of New London, for ;^33 6s. 8d., had deed from his father to one-third of the latter's

farm at New London ; on the following day he assigned this to his brother John, receiving from him in ex- change a deed of even date to house and land in Lyme. This property as recorded in Lyme Deeds, is described as including 30 acres, with house and orchard, lying " eastward of Black Hall river, near the corn-mill path that leads to the fresh meadows."
His will, dated at Lyme, March 15, 1760, proved July 8, 1760, with an inventory showing ^530 iis. 5^., was witnessed by Joseph Wade and Reuben Chadwick ; it made his sons Sylvanus and Phineas executors, and gave as follows: "To my well-beloved wife Susanna, all those household goods she brought with her," to- gether with other articles; also a convenient room in his house for her to live in while his widow, " but not to bring any family into it."

1-4-5 SAMUEL TINKER, born at Lyme, Conn., about 1697; died at Chesterfield, Conn., March 29, 1776. He mar- ried at New London, Nov. 30, 1720, with Elizabeth Harris, who was born about 1695; died Sept. 16, 1781, aged 86 years. Samuel Tinker and his wife Elizabeth renewed their covenant in the First Church of New London, July 25, 1725; were enrolled as full members Jan. 29, 1737. In 1743 and 1744 he was elected sur- veyor of highways. He probably went with his father in 1714 to New London, and dwelt there until 1749, when he removed to Pagan's Hill in East Lyme. His name heads the petition which obtained the organiza- tion of the Chesterfield Society.
Neiv London Deeds, Vol. viii, p. 145, March 22, 1723, Amos Tinker of New London, "yeoman," for " love and affection " conveyed to his son, Samuel Tin- ker, "part of the farm where he lives" in the great neck at the harbor's mouth, " and esteemed a third part of the whole farm"; including "a tract of land where the said Amos Tinker's mansion house stands, with the barn; only the said Amos Tinker reserving to himself and wife Sarah the west end of the house and barn, and about ten acres of land where they stand." Ditto^ Vol. X, p. dy. June 25, 1733, Samuel Tinker, of New London, for ^20, conveyed to John Bolles, of New London, all the former's right to undivided com- mon land in New London, " being, or reported to be, the one-third part of two acres as it is set out or allowed to my honored father, Mr. Amos Tinker, of New London, dec'd, and by him conveyed to me." Lyme Deeds, Vol. viii, pp. 329, 330: May 10 and May 22, 1749, Samuel Tinker, of New London, bought 108 acres at Pagan's Hill, now East Lyme. Conn.

i_4_6 JONATHAN TINKER, born at Lyme, Conn., about 1700, disappears from New London records after Nov., 1748. He married at New London, Jan. 27, 1723, with Elizabeth Manwaring, daughter of Peter and Mary, who died before Nov., 1748. Her birth-date is given twice on the town records, in one place as April 17, and in another as April 21, 1702. Jonathan invariably made his mark, instead of signing his name to papers of record. Jonathan was our third ancestor. Seven children (see Fourth Generation).
New London Deeds, Vol. viii, p. 240: March 23, 1725, Jonathan Tinker received from his father a deed of gift to part of the latter's farm at the harbor's mouth, "after my decease and my wife Sarah's decease "; with the understanding "that if said Jonathan Tinker shall die without heirs of his body, then the land shall re- turn to his brothers and their heirs, to wit, John and Samuel." A memorandum attached to the above, Sept. 8, 1724, gave Jonathan two acres absolutely " to build on." Ditto, Vol. IX, pp. 180, 229: Jan. 7, 1731, Jona- than sold four acres to his brother John for ^35 ; and for ^60, March 6, 1732, he sold more to the same. Ditto, Vol. X, pp. 34, 63, 75: These are more sales of land and of rights in the common land, between March M. 1733. and Aug. 2, 1733, made by Jonathan; in the first he is styled "husbandman." Ditto, Vol. x, pp, 191, 192: An agreement, made July 14, 1734, between Jonathan Tinker and his wife, Elizabeth, of one part, and Isaac Young and wife. Love, of second part, and Isaac Young as guardian of Mary Manwaring, of third part, for the division of the estate of Peter Manwaring, the father of Elizabeth, Love and Mary. Ditto, Vol. XV, p. 145: Nov. 14, 1748, for ^20, Jonathan Tinker, of New London, sold to Josiah Smith, one-third part of property " which was formerly Mr. Peter Manwar- ing's — being one-third part thereof during my natural life." This indicates that Jonathan's wife, Elizabeth, was then dead.

It very likely was the one of this name who married in Mid- dletown. Conn., June 23, 1757, with Lucretia Foster; tradition indicates that this was his second marriage. He was living at Middletown as late as 1778.

Middlctoum, Conn., Deeds, Vol. xxi, p. 329: June 14, 1778, Jonathan Tinker surrendered chattels to Samuel Bull, to satisfy an execution for £\1 10s.; and July 14, 1778, he gave to the same a bill of sale of cattle, for ^^47.
During the Revolutionary War Jonathan Tinker was a soldier in Col. Wylly's Regiment, aad Continental, and was sick in Hospital at Stamford, Nov., 1776. Six children (see Fifth Generation).

His name was apparently derived from his mother's father, as he is the only " Peter " Tinker of his time recorded in New London. It is therefore probable that he is the one of this name who married there, June 26, 1763, with Ruth Smith of the same place.

CHILDREN OF JONATHAN 1-4-6-4, AND LUCRETIA (FOSTER) TINKER.
1-4-6-4-1 JOHN TINKER (our fifth ancestor), supposed to be the son of Jonathan by an earlier wife than Lucretia Foster, died in Ellsworth, Me., between 1842 and 1847, aged 90 years, hence born between 1752 and 1757. The tradition among his descendants is that John and Jonathan were half-brothers, who were brought to Maine from Connecticut by their father and bound out. John was tall and rather spare, a sea-captain, member of the Baptist Church, and dwelt in Ellsworth. He married Mary Haslem. During the Revolutionary War he was a private in the loth Company, First Regi- ment, discharged in North Department, Nov. 25, 1775; a private in Captain Lewis's Company, Fifth Battallion, Wadsworth's Brigade, 1776. Ten children (see Sixth Generation).
1-4-6-4-2 JONATHAN TINKER, born in Middletown, Nov. '3) 1757) ^s there recorded, is supposed to be the Jonathan referred to in the tradition among John's de- scendants, as having settled on Tinker's Island, off the mouth of Union River, Maine. A descendant of his was said to be living in Pelham, N. H., in 1872. Pos- sibly the following was his son : James Tinker, married at Mt. Desert, Me., Sept. 22, 1806, with Sarah Daws, who was living in Tremont, Me., as late as Dec. 21, 1871, he having died there April 22, 1852. She applied for a pension in Sept., 1867, stating she was then 79 years old, hence born about 1788. In her application she said that James Tinker served under Capt. John O. Hotchkiss, in the 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Brigade

i_4_6-4-5 GEORGE TINKER. Descendants of Reuben Tin- ker say that he had a brother George. He is surmised as identical with the George Tinker, a sea-captain of Hartford, who mortgaged Sept. 12, 1799, to Nathaniel Blake and Eli Ely, of Hartford, traders, a small dwell- ing in Hartford City, in which he then dwelt, situated on the south bank of Mill River {Hartford Deeds^ Vol. XXII, p. 20). It may be more than a coincidence that William Tinker, according to his daughter, Mrs. Bell, boarded in this house before his marriage, afterwards bought it, and lived in it until about ten years before his death.
i_4_6-4-6 REUBEN TINKER, born about 1770, a tanner, married with Lucy Forbes, moved from Hartford to Bethlehem, Conn,, and thence to Milan, Dutchess Co., N.Y., in the spring of 18 10; had four brothers, George, Lewis and Jonathan being the names remembered, two of whom went West. This is the family tradition, no other record of him having thus far been found.
