Commentary
Isaac’s parentage
An entry in the St Nicholas register records Isaac’s baptism in 1764. (What is probably, but not certainly, Isaac’s burial record gives his age at death in 1818 as 52. It was pretty common for such ages to be couple of years off.) The name of the father in the baptism entry, Samuel, matches the name Isaac gave to one of his sons.
The baptism entry gives the mother’s name as Martha. Samuel and Martha’s eldest child was baptized 29 October 1752. A marriage bond dated 10 January 1752 shows that Martha’s maiden name was Drape.
There is some supporting DNA evidence for Isaac’s parentage. A paper-trail descendant of Isaac’s brother John Hinde shares with me 13 cM of DNA across 1 segment. (I am a paper-trail descendent of Isaac). We are paper-trail sixth cousins. From examining both trees, there is no obvious way to account for the match apart from the common descent from Samuel Hinde and Martha Drape. A single 13-cM match could not be considered conclusive evidence on its own, but it adds a little weight.
