CONFLICT IN SOURCE MATERIAL

History of the early settlement of Bridgewater in Plymouth County, Massachusetts by Naham Mitchell is a problematic source as it lists 2 Bartlett women marrying Reverend Ebenezer Hinds. p. 109 under Wright Bartlett from Hingham lists a daughter " Lydia Bartlett m. Ebenezer Hinds 1751." But the following page, 110, includes this "Richard Bartlett, an Englishman, lived in Boston and had a s. Richard, and a D. who m. Rev. Mr. Hinds of Middleborough." Since there is a conflict we must look to other sources to determine the father of Lydia Bartlett who married Reverend Hinds. A SECOND SOURCE for RICHARD BARTLETT being the father of Lydia Bartlett who married Reverend Ebenezer Hinds is the HINDS FAMILY GENEALOGY. If more sources are found we will add them. We would also note that Ebenezer and Lydia named one of their children Richard Hinds. They didn't name any children Wright Hinds.
