Colonel John Hynson was a member of the House of Burgesses from Kent County from 1681 to 1688. Although he included in his dignities the offices of justice of the peace, and military commander of the county of Kent, he served church as well as state, as a vestryman of St. Paul's Parish. It was probably his close association with the affairs of the church that brought both rectors of old St. Paul's a wooing at the Hynson mansion. The Rev. Stephen Bordley on October 14, 1702, claimed Anne Hynson for his bride, and two years after his death when Rev.Alexander Williamson responded to the call from the Colonial Church, he promptly succeeded not only to the living, but also won the widow of his predecessor, as is shown in the settlement of Stephen Bordley's estate." -------------------------------------------------- I'm not sure if this is the gentleman to whom this passage refers, but I'll place it here for future reference: July 4th 1702 Colll John Hynson Records vidzt That he now gives Impr To his Grand son John Rogers one earling Heaffer.
