David Hinckley (1764-1825)

He went to London as a merchant where he married his first wife, Anne Outram, in 1793. After his marriage, he had to attend to business in America and on his return to England he was captured by pirates who held him prisoner in Algiers for two years. After he was released, he returned to England only to discover that his wife had died while giving birth to their daughter. In 1807, he married Sally Outram (a cousin of his first wife), and with her returned to Boston where he built a mansion at the corner of Beacon and Somerset Streets which was then considered to be one of the finest in town.
