Thomas Lincoln, the " Cooper," came, from the west of England, saystradition, and settled in our Hingham about 1635/36. His name, however,does not appear upon our records until 1636, when there was "granted untoThomas Lincoln, cooper, five acres of land at the west end of the townfor a house-lot, butting on the town street eastward, and upon the commonwestward, and with the land of Francis Smith northward, and with the landof Thomas Nichols southward." This lot was sold or exchanged for one onNorth, near Beal St., which was his homestead.

He also had a small triangular lot of land granted him subsequent to thefirst distribution of lots in 1635, at what is now the corner of Northand Lincoln Sts. This (the triangular lot) he later gave with amalt-house, etc., to his youngest son, Benjamin.
