March 1, 2020 PINCOMBE-PINKHAM NEWSLETTER - VOLUME 5, ISSUE 2 Pincombe-Pinkham Newsletter Table of Contents 1. Pincombe Charts, original One-Name Study at the Guild of One-Name Studies 2. Will of William Pincombe, 1812 3. North Molton Parish Records (Part 15) 1. Pincombe Charts, original One-Name Study at the Guild of One-Name Studies These Pincombe Charts were created by the two researchers in the original One-name-study at the Guild of one-name-studies. I reprint them with the thought in mind that others could add to the knowledge of these charts. I have reworked some of them and will publish that information when complete. I am publishing Chart 13 – Stepney-Holborn-Hendeon-Croydon in this issue. This is another Chart that I have done some work on plus I have information from a Pincombe descendant who corresponded with one of the original researchers Dr Richard Pinkham. He shared all of his correspondence with me including anything that he submitted. Any comments, corrections, additions to this chart known by any of my readers is much appreciated. I am looking forward now to updating this information to pass on to another researcher. March 1, 2020 PINCOMBE-PINKHAM NEWSLETTER - VOLUME 5, ISSUE 2 March 1, 2020 PINCOMBE-PINKHAM NEWSLETTER - VOLUME 5, ISSUE 2 The link for the original chart (image above): http://www.kipp-blake-families.ca/Chart13.jpg Ideally, I will use the information which I received from Richard Phillips to discuss this chart. It is interesting that the Will of William Pincombe discussed below should coincide with Chart 13. It was unintentional on my part. Richard Phillips’ ancestor was Arthur Pincombe baptized 26 Dec 1761 at Roborough by Torrington and son of Arthur Pincombe and Agnes Heard who themselves were married 19 Jun 1750 at Roborough by Torrington. This Arthur Pincombe was baptized 28 Aug 1727 at Roborough by Torrington the son of John Pincombe and Mary Peardon (married 28 Oct 1726 at Roborough by Torrington. All dates were verified with the original images on Find My Past. As you read through the will below and the comments you will see the relationship between these two lines. Richard Phillips sent me a CD with 131 files; all of his Pincombe-Pinkham research. I did extract some material at the time but publishing these charts has brought me back to these files once again. There was one particular letter that I had forgotten and it was between Richard Pinkham MD and Richard Phillips and Richard Pinkham mentions his ancestry in this particular letter. I never corresponded with Richard Pinkham. I discovered reading these letters that his eyesight was failing him in the early 1990s and by the time I arrived on the scene it was already fourteen years later and I think he was in his late 80s in the early 1990s. But Richard identified his 4x great grandfather as John Pincomb (baptized 10 Mar 1728) and a brother to Arthur Pincombe who was baptized 28 Aug 1727. Looking at Chart 4, Arthur and John were the sons of John Pincombe and Mary Peardon who had married 28 Oct 1726 at Roborough. Richard then mentioned his great March 1, 2020 PINCOMBE-PINKHAM NEWSLETTER - VOLUME 5, ISSUE 2 grandfather was Richard Pincombe (1831-1913) (baptized 20 Mar 1831 at Roborough son of William and Ann Pincombe) and married to Maria Pyke 31 Mar 1861 at Torrington. Chart 4 traces that particular Richard back to his parents William Pincombe and Ann Winson who married 13 Oct 1830 at Roborough. All of these dates in the paragraph above this line were verified on Find My Past. William was baptized 25 Dec 1799 son of George Pincombe and Grace Page who were married 7 Nov 1790 at Roborough. These dates in the preceding sentence were repeated on Ancestry but no images available. George was baptized 24 Feb 1766 at Roborough and was the son of John Pincombe (baptized 10 Mar 1728) and Elizabeth married circa 1760 at Roborough. I was not able to verify this information other than finding it as entries on Family Search. Richard Pinkham MD also mentions that it was his grandfather William (1861-1938) (baptized 25 Dec 1861 at Great Torrington son of Richard Pincombe and Maria Pyke) who changed the spelling of his name to Pinkham. These two men shared their 5x great grandparents making them sixth cousins. I have not yet found mention of that. At a later date I will redraw these charts with all the new information that I have acquired and they will be electronic. It is perhaps a challenge that I should take on with the Pincombe project and will consider what other elements I want to pass on to another researcher when I step down. As well I will give copies to both the Guild of one-name Studies and the Society of Genealogists. I continue as a member of both groups. These tables represent many years of work at the record offices by the two original Pincombe- Pinkham family researchers and Richard Pinkham was a physician and able to make contact with some of the Pincombe families living in Devon. The names seen on these charts usually in the top March 1, 2020 PINCOMBE-PINKHAM NEWSLETTER - VOLUME 5, ISSUE 2 corners are individuals who provided information for that particular chart. In the case of charts from the United States, Galen Pinkham has contributed a great deal of information to the descendants of the Pincombe/Pinkham family and this information can be found on the charts which he produced. I do remind other researchers that there are discrepancies in these charts and I would appreciate knowing of any that you may find so that eventually a corrected chart will be published. 2.
