Named in the 1840 county history

The history of Plymouth County was published 65 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Mr. Binney was for two years pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Hingham. He married here for his first wife, July 14, 1824, Caroline, daughter of Isaiah and Susa (Leavitt) Wilder. Some years ago he published a " Theological Compend," which has been translated into nearly every language by missionaries, and just before his decease, in 1878, he completed his last work, entitled " The People's Commentary." He was a native of Hull.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Whitman, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
