  • Notes 
    • Nancy is found with Gilbert Wasgatt on the 1860 U.S. census in Boston, MA. It seems logical that Nancy is Gilbert's sister. FamilySearch databases include a birth of Nancy Davis Wasgatt to father Davis Wasgatt in Mt. Desert, ME; marriage of Nancy Wasgatt to John Hinckley in Mt. Desert, ME. This supports the theory that Nancy is Gilbert's sister and a daughter of Davis and Sally (Hadlock) Wasgatt; however, additional research should be completed to verify birth/parentage using available primary records.
