  Notes	"The exact date at which any individual came here to reside cannot be ascertained. Among the papers of Mr. Cushing, there is a 'list of the names of such persons as came out of the town of Hingham, and towns adjacent, in the County of Norfolk, in the Kingdom of England, into New England, and settled in Hingham.' From this list we are led to believe there were inhabitants here as early as 1633, and among them Ralph Smith, Nicholas Jacob with his family, Thomas Lincoln, weaver, Edmund Hobart and his wife, from Hingham, and Thomas Hobart with his family, from Windham, in Norfolk, England. During the same year Theophilus Cushing, Edmund Hobart, senior, Joshua Hobart, and Henry Gibbs, all of Hingham, England, came to this country. Cushing lived some years at Mr. Haines's farm, and subsequently removed to Hingham. The others settled at Charlestown, (the oldest neighborhood of Boston -Ed) and in 1635 removed to this place. In 1634 there were other settlers here, and among them Thomas Chubbuck; Bare Cove was assessed in that year. To 1635, at the May court, Joseph Andrews was sworn as constable of the place. There was a considerable increase of the number of Settlers, and in that year grants of land were made to upwards of fifty individuals, of which a record is preserved. It was in June of that year that Rev. Peter Hobart arrived at Charlestown, and soon after settled in this place." - from History of Hingham published 1893, pages 201-209 (Thomas Lincoln's younger brother Samuel Lincoln, also a weaver, who came to Hingham in 1737, was the ancestor of President Abraham Lincoln -Ed) Other sources say the Edmund Hobart and Thomas Hobart party arrived in Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1633 aboard the Elizabeth Bonaventura. And while they visited Bare Cove, they likely did not take up residence there until the arrival of Peter Hobart in 1635. Suffolk County was formed in 1643 from the Massachusetts Bay Colony Plymouth County was formed in 1685 from the Plymouth Colony Hingham was chartered in 1635, formerly called Bare Cove, for conditions at low tide. Suffolk and Plymouth County lines were redrawn in 1803, resulting in Hingham being in Plymouth County
