During his career, Lieutenant John Hills (23rd Regiment of Foot) produced more than fifty maps, some of which depicted battles that he did not witness firsthand.

It is unclear whether Hills personally compiled A Plan of York Town and Gloucester or whether this was the work of another engineer. As publisher William Faden indicated in the title, the source was an actual survey in the possession of John Hills.

According to the book, Lincoln may have kept this bureau in the East Front Chamber of his home in Hingham, Massachusetts, and it was valued at $15 in a period appraisal.Notes:Benjamin Lincoln (1733-1810), born to a wealthy and influential family of Hingham, Massachusetts, served as a major general during the Revolutionary War and was notably involved in three major surrenders: the Battle of Saratoga, the Siege of Charleston and at Yorktown.He was involved in public service for most of his life, serving in his early adulthood as town constable and selectman and in the militia. As an elected member of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress in the 1770s, he sat on committees overseeing militia organization and supply, a uniquely beneficial experience once the Revolutionary War broke out. He was promoted to major general of the Massachusetts militia in 1776.Lincoln served as second in command to Washington during the Yorktown campaign. British commanding officer General Cornwallis did not attend the surrender ceremony and thus British Brigadier General Charles O'Hara would surrender his sword. He first attempted to give it to George Washington, who declined and motioned to Lincoln, who accepted it.Lincoln served as the first Secretary at War from 1781 to 1783, and in 1787 he was a member of the Massachusetts state convention that ratified the Constitution. He held various positions in state and federal government, including serving as Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts and Collector of the Port of Boston.Despite the major role he played in the Revolutionary War and the fledgling United States, Lincoln is not as well-remembered as many of his contemporaries. However, several towns and counties are named in his honor, particularly throughout the south, and his lifelong home was declared a National Historic Landmark. He is buried in Hingham.
