When Mordecai Lincoln Jr. was born on 24 April 1686, in Hingham, Suffolk, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America, his father, Mordecai Lincoln Sr., was 28 and his mother, Sarah Jones, was 26. He married Hannah Bowne Salter on 17 February 1709, in Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America. They were the parents of at least 2 sons and 6 daughters. His occupation is listed as road viewer in Chester, Pennsylvania, United States. He died on 12 May 1736, in Amityville, Amity Township, Berks, Pennsylvania, British Colonial America, at the age of 50, and was buried in Middletown Friends Cemetery, Langhorne, Bucks, Pennsylvania, United States.
Mordecai Jr. was the earliest direct Lincoln ancestor of the President to settle in Pennsylvania. With him came his brother, Abraham, the first of the Lincoln clan to bear that name. They were the sons of Mordecai Lincoln of Scituate, Massachusetts, and the grandsons of Samuel Lincoln of Hingham, the first Lincoln progenitor of the President to settle in America.
Both Mordecai Jr. and his brother Abraham lived in New Jersey about seven years before migrating to Pennsylvania. While residing in New Jersey, Mordecai married Hannah Saltar, to which union there were born one son, John, and five daughters. One of the daughters died in infancy and lies buried in Monmouth County, New Jersey.
Mordecai and Hannah Lincoln and their family settled at "Scoolkill," later called Coventry Township, in Chester County. Here Mordecai, in partnership with Samuel Nutt and William Branson, operated a forge on French Creek - just how long Mordecai remained here it is difficult to determine. There is some indication that he intended to return to New Jersey as he sold his interest in the forge for five hundred pounds on December 14 1726, and five months later he bought of Richard Saltar, a tract of land in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Apparently it was about the time of the New Jersey land purchase in 1727, that his wife, Hannah, passed away and left him with five children, the oldest but eleven, and the youngest, an infant born shortly before the mother's death.
