- BIRTH: Date and place of birth are approximations.
MAR: There is no proof that Bridget is the wife of Robert Bodfish. A Bridget Bodfish married Samuel Hinckley at Barnstable, 15 Dec 1657 ("Barnstable, Mass. Vital Records," MAYFLOWER DESCENDANT, 6[1904]:98 [FHL #974.4 D25md]). It is likely that this Bridget is the widow of Robert Bodfish who died in 1651. Samuel Hinckley was an older man with grown children when he married Bridget. They had no children of their own. The wording of Samuel's will also suggests that Bridget was previously married. See the will of Samuel Hinckley of Barnstable, 8 Oct 1662, proved 4 Mar 1662/3, Plymouth Colony Probate, 2:2:2-3 (FHL #567794).
DEATH: Sandwich Vital Records, 1:229 (FHL #904579). The year of death cannot be read on the microfilm copy due to excessive wearing of the original page. The year reads "165 [worn]" in "Sandwich, Mass. Vital Records", MAYFLOWER DESCENDANT, 14(1912):171 (FHL #974.4 D25md). The following entry on the page is dated 1654. Earlier local and family historians claim the year of Robert's death was 1651 (Frederick Freeman, THE HISTORY OF CAPE COD, 2 vols. [Boston, 1859-62], 2:49 [FHL #974.492 H2ff]; also Amos Otis, GENEALOGICAL NOTES OF BARNSTABLE FAMILIES, 2 vols.[Barnstable, MA, 1888-90], 1:68 [FHL #974.492/B1 D2oa]). It seems likely that the date was still legible when the earlier works were written.
