The Vincent Family in America traces their ancestery to William Vincent who emigrated from England about 1660 with his sister Jane and settled in Pawtucket,R.I. Jane married John Sheldon 1660.

Nicholas married his step sister Elizabeth Reynolds daughter of Robert John Reynolds ,second husband of William Vincents widow Jemima.

Children:Nicholas the second. married Mary Earle

Jemima married William Clark

Mary married First Ephraim Bacon,second Samuel Hinckley.

Mercy married Elisha Freeman

Joseph married Anna Dunbar

Elizabeth married Oliver Lewis.

Deborah married Nicholas Gardner

Hannah married Elijah Hinckley

Joshua died young

James Vincent born June 14,1788 and married Sally Rathbone, sons:Dr. Elmer Vincent who married Julia Barney and Samuel who married Hulda Blythe.

Welcome Vincent and Shadrach Vincent,brothers were sons of a Nivolas and Welcome was surposed to be father of above James. I believe this line to be that of the late Bishop John Vincent founder of Chautauqua. --Florentine Vincent

NOTE: I copied as it was. I know William that imigrated from England settled first in Greenwich R.I. and then Pawtuxet,Providence,R.I. Nicholas was stepson to Jemima so when she married Robert Reynolds it hardley makes that his step sister.Also have determined that Jemima's maidian name was Bennett. There were Bennett's living next door to the Vincents at that time.
