Son of Ezra and Hannah (Benson) Vincent. Moved with his parents from Maine to Phelps, New York (Ontario County) in 1815 and left there with his father and his father's second wife Lydia (Freeman) (Hamblen) Vincent in 1834 for Sandusky County Ohio where he died. After his death the bodies of he and his wife were repatriated to New York, presumably for his wife who was born there.

Bellevue, Nov. 28,
A terrible Casualty occurred this morning at the railroad crossing near Streeter's sawmill, four miles west of this place, which resulted in the death of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Vincent. They were on their way to Green Springs, in a two-horse vehicle, to attend the meeting of the Sabbath School Union at that place. As they arrived upon the railroad the Lightning Express struck and demolished the vehicle killing both horses. Mr. and Mrs. Vincent were caught upon the engine and carried about half a mile, mangling and bruising both terribly. It is supposed that they were killed instantly.
In approaching the crossing from the direction from which they came, a train cannot be seen, but had the whistle been sounded, as it should be at all crossings, they might have heard it and stopped in time to avoid the danger. They were elderly people, well known and much esteemed for their good qualities and Christian Example.
