The Checkered Career of Timothy Hinman
The Checkered Career of Timothy Hinman Hinman’s life illustrates the contradictions inherent in financial risk taking early in the nineteenth century. By Gail A. Sangree n the well-kept cemetery overlooking Derby Lake lie the bones of Timothy Hinman. The notation on his gravestone reads, “Honor- I able Timo Hinman April 29, 1850 AE88yrs.” The marble has been recently cleaned, and the following inscription appears to have been added later: “First Settler of Derby. A soldier of the Revolutionary Army. Patriot & faithful honest citizen. A just and good man.” “Faithful, honest, just, and good” is strong praise for a man who, in addition to building roads, starting a town from scratch, and rendering judicial decisions, speculated in land, selling the lots at huge profits; smuggled and traded with the enemy; cheated his associates; defaulted on thousands of dollars of loans and betrayed the public trust; and upon conviction, escaped from jail. Hinman’s life illustrates the contra- dictions inherent in financial risk taking early in the nineteenth century: While the potential for accumulating wealth was great, the chances of ruin were also high. Although a young man with strong arms, determi- nation, and a mixture of knowledge and luck might secure a comfort- able position for himself and his family, his efforts might bring him nothing. As a boy growing up in Southbury, Connecticut, Hinman, born in 1761, heard about the plentiful opportunities for land in northern Ver- mont from his first cousin once removed, Colonel Benjamin Hinman, who had made raids into Canada from Crown Point on Lake Cham- plain in 1758. -

Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Page 1 Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Page 2 Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Published by Kaiapoi Co-operating Parish 53 Fuller Street Kaiapoi Email - [email protected] ISBN 0-476-00222-2 ©Copyright Kaiapoi Co-operating Parish, February 2004 Printed by Wickliffe Print 482 Moorhouse Avenue Christchurch PREFACE This is a story of three parishes - one Methodist, one Presbyterian, and one Co- operating - worshiping and witnessing in Kaiapoi in three different centuries. It starts with pioneer settlers in a small village half a world away from their homes. It ends - at least this part of the story does - in a burgeoning satellite town. Letters and news originally took months to arrive. Now they are as instant as emails and television. However, through the dramatic changes of the last 150 years runs the common thread of faith. This is a story which needs to be read twice. The first time, read what Jean Turvey has written. In any history there are those people who stand out because of their leadership, strong personalities, or eccentricities. Ministers loom large, simply because they are involved in most aspects of parish life. Buildings feature, because they provide a focal point for congregational life. The second reading of this history is more difficult. You need to read between the lines, to focus on what is not written. The unrecorded history of these three parishes is just as vital as the narration of obvious events and personalities. It consists of people whose names are unknown, but who worshipped faithfully and gave life to these local churches. -

MAINE HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRIZE ESSAY 1977 The Smuggling Career of William King by Alan S. Taylor One of the most fascinating controversies to emerge from Maine’s role in the War of 1812 is whether William King, the leader of Maine’s Democratic-Republican party and the state’s first governor, illegally traded with the British. Throughout King’s political career, charges were hurled that many of his vessels had operated in violation of the revenue laws. These charges remained unsubstantiated rumors spread by his Federalist political opponents until 1824 when two of his estranged political proteges, Benjamin Ames and Joseph F. Wingate, Jr., anonymously published The Disclosure No. 1: Documents Relating to Violations and Evasions of the Laws During the Commercial Restrictions and Late War With Great Britain, etc., a collection of letters and depositions intended to prove that King and his good friend, Mark Langdon Hill, were indeed guilty of smuggling. -
