He was the first and only immigrant of the name in America. Tradition says that he belonged to the body guard of Charles I. as sergeant-at- arms, and escaped from Cromwells wrath to America. This is probably where he gained the title of sergeant, which he held in America. From the Dutch records at Albany, it appears that he had some kind of connection with Captain John Underbill in offering their military services to Governor Stuyvesant to fight the Indians, but the offer was declined, and tradition says that Sergeant Hinman disbanded his company at Stamford soon afterward, and settled at Stratford. He was a farmer and extensive landholder there, and was the first owner of the old tide mill between Stratford and what is now Bridgeport. Soon after settling there he had a house lot which is recorded and described in the "Stratford Records, igth month, 1668." Royal R. Hinman, in his work of 1856, says: "This house of Sergeant Hinman was located upon the west of the present Main street in Stratford, a little southwest of that noble old Episcopal church, the beauty of \vhich is its antiquated structure and plainness." At a town meeting on March 7, 1654, and on February 2, 1664, various pieces of land were given to him by division of the town lands. He also purchased lands at various times. In 1681 he sold his homestead and removed to Woodbury, Connecticut, where he made his will. He died November 26, 1681, it is thought in Stratford, where his will was proved and recorded. He mentioned all his children, and directed that his youngest son, Edward Jr., be brought up to a trade by Jehiel Preston, of Stratford. His death is recorded in Stratford. He was a man of pure character, and was much respected for his strict honesty and integrity. He married, in Stratford, Hannah, daughter of Francis and Sarah Stiles, who had removed from Windsor to Stratford. Children, born in Stratford: Sarah.
