You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.174.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:35, 2 May 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Phineas Warren Hitchcock''' (November 30, 1831((spaced ndash))July 10, 1881) was an American Delegate and a Senator from [[Nebraska]]. [[Hitchcock County, Nebraska]], is named after him.<ref>((cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=InM_AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA118 | title=History of Hamilton and Clay Counties, Nebraska, Volume 1 | publisher=S.J. Clarke Publishing Company | author=Burr, George L. | year=1921 | pages=118))</ref>

== Early life ==
He was born in New Lebanon, Columbia County, New York, the son of Gad Hitchcock and Nancy Prime.<ref>((Cite book|url = https://archive.org/details/cu31924012053785|title = The Genealogy of the Hitchcock Family: Who are Descended from Matthias Hitchcock of East Haven, Conn., and Luke Hitchcock of Wethersfield, Conn|date = January 1, 1894|publisher = Press of Carpenter & Morehouse|language = en))</ref> When he turned 16, he began two years preparatory course study at the Great Barrington Academy in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

He entered [[Williams College]] in [[Williamstown, Massachusetts]], graduating in 1855. His classmates at Williams included, [[James A. Garfield]], [[James Gilfillan]] and [[John James Ingalls]]. After he graduated, and after several years of combined law study and journalistic work in New York State, he moved to the [[Territory of Nebraska]] in the spring of 1857, locating at Omaha, then a small settlement.

== Career ==
Once in Nebraska, Hitchcock opened a law office, combining with the practice of his profession an agency for several insurance companies and a general real estate business.

===Political career===

Hitchcock was appointed a [[United States Marshal]] from 1861 to 1864; a Republican, elected as the [[Nebraska Territory]] Delegate to the Thirty-ninth Congress and served from March 4, 1865, to March 1, 1867, when the Territory was admitted as a State into the Union. He was appointed surveyor general of Nebraska and Iowa from 1867 to 1869. In 1870, Hitchcock was elected as a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] to the [[United States Senate]] and served from March 4, 1871, to March 3, 1877. He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection.

Hitchcock served as the chairman of the [[United States Senate Committee on Territories|Committee on Territories]] in the Forty-fourth Congress. He was involved in newspaper publishing and various businesses.

In 1873 Hitchcock introduced the [[Timber Culture Act]] a follow-up act to the [[Homestead Act]]. The Timber Culture Act was passed by Congress on March 3 of that year. This act allowed homesteaders to acquire 160 acres of land by planting 40 acres of trees. At the end of eight years from the date of entry, the settler could make final proof if the necessary conditions had been fulfilled. Five additional years were allowed to make proof, or a total of thirteen years from the date of entry. The claimant had to prove that the trees had been planted and cultivated and that not less than 675 living trees per acre had survived. An affidavit or "timber culture proof" had to be completed by the claimant and two witnesses before the final certificate and patents were issued.

== Personal life ==
He married on December 27, 1858, at Omaha, Nebraska, Annie M. Monell, the daughter of Lucinda Carpenter and Dr. Gilbert C. Monell, an 1839 graduate of the [[Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons]] and a member of the [[Old Settlers' Association]].<ref>((Cite book |last=University |first=Columbia |url=https://archive.org/details/cu31924032690301 |title=Catalogue of Officers and Graduates of Columbia University from the Foundation of King's College in 1754 |date=January 1, 1906 |publisher=University |language=en))</ref><ref>((cite web|last=Hitchcock|first=G.
