Colonel Lincoln, unlike many of his family, did not follow the profession of law, but was more commercially inclined and for many yers was one of the leading merchantes of Worcester. He did, however, take an active interest in military and civic affairs of his town and city, and held many offices of trust and responsibility.

He was one of the commissioners for building the Blackstone Canal, from 1822 to 1828, and devoted a large share of his time and means to the putting through of this project. In 1836 he was appointed overseer of the Worcester County House of Correction; and from 1844 until 1851 he was high sheriff of the county and keeper of the jail, during which term of office he established the chapel in the jail. He was the first president of Worcester Gas Light Company, in 1949.
