AWARDS
Theodore Lincoln (1763–1852) led settlers from Hingham, Massachusetts, to Dennysville, Maine, in 1786, acting for his father, General Benjamin Lincoln. A Harvard graduate, he became a judge and helped establish the new community. His house, built in 1787 by Joshua Chubbuck, survives as a landmark of the settlement. John James Audubon visited him in 1833 before taking Theodore’s son Thomas to Labrador; the Lincoln’s sparrow was named for Thomas, rather than Theodore.
EARLY LIFE
The exact date and place of Judge Theodore Lincoln’s birth have not been established in the source used for this entry. The surviving biographical summary provides only limited evidence about childhood, schooling, and the daily circumstances of the household, so those details are not reconstructed here without documentation. What can be stated securely is that this person belonged to the interconnected family world from which HistoryGPS traces participants, relatives, and later descendants of the Revolutionary generation.
The available biographical record identifies Judge Theodore Lincoln with work or public activity as a judge. Those roles provide the clearest documented basis for including this person in the database and should be read in the political, military, professional, or household context of the period. Additional claims about employment, public service, or accomplishments have been omitted where the consulted source did not support them.
