Notes |
- Capt. Arthur T. Hinckley was born in Hartford Feb. 9, 1830, and passed his early life in that city. In 1854 he was appointed (by Col. N. G. Hinckley, quartermaster-general) armorer at the State arsenal, holdingithaft position until 1862, and in many ways proving his eminent fitness therefor. In 1861, at the first call for volunteers in the Civil war, he took enlistment papers from Adjt.-Gen. 'Villiams, and, making his headquarters at the armory of the old Hartford Light Guard, in a few days recruited a full company-Company A, 1st Regiment Conn. V. I.which was accepted at midnight, the adjutant-general keeping his office open for that purpose, and was the first company raised for the war accepted by thc State. Mr. Hinckley was elected lieutenant, and went into camp at New Haven with the command, but before muster-in he resigned and returned to his position at the State arsenal, at the instance of Quartermaster-General Hatheway and the earnest personal request of Gov. Buckingham, who remarked that "àò: this critical time he would be of more service there than at the front." After remaining another year at the arsenal he was, on july 9, 1862, authorized by Adjt.-Gen. \\/Villiams to enlist another company for the Federal service. He opened an office, and recruited a full company, of which he was elected captain, and which was mustered in N ov. ii, 1862, as Company B, 25th Conn. V. I., Col. G. P. Bissell. The regiment saw active service, and Capt. Hinckley participated in Gen. Banks' expedition to New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Port Hudson, lie and his company receiving the highest commendation in that campaign. He returned with the regiment to Hartford, was mustered out and honorably discharged. However, it soon became apparent that the Captain's general health was impaired, and a chronic disease developed which eventually caused his death. As his health required constant medical aid, he chose to avail himself of the beneñts to be had at the National Soldiers' Home at Hampton, Va. He died Oct. 30, 1888, and was laid to rest in the National Cemetery at Hampton.

(VI) Asahel Hinckley, father of Nelson G., was born Feb. 11, 1794, in Thetford, Vt., and came to Hartford in 1810. He was a printer by trade, and worked in the office of The Hartford Courant at a period when the "art preservative of all the arts" was very different from what it now is. He not only set up the type, but was also accustomed to "pull" the entire edition of the paper on a hand press, and ink the form with the old-fashioned "balls." In 1820 he commenced the dry-goods and millinery business on Main street, near Church; his store for many years was known in Hartford as the leading one in that line. ln 1854 his son Nelson G. succeeded to the business.
