Pincombe family at North Molton up to 1660

The Pincombe entries at North Molton continue to be a strong interest of mine for my one name study. By the end of 1660 there are 3365 baptisms, 563 marriages, 1669 burials and 162 banns in total with Pincombe being quite a small part of that total. Using the wills of Johane, William, Thomas and Bartholomew Pincombe the families can be put together and I hypothesize the following from the records.

Pyncombe Agnes daughter Pyncombe William 1543 June 6
Pyncombe Mary daughter Pyncombe William 1547 Dec 8
Pyncombe Marye daughter Pymcombe John 1555 July 8

The Pincombe family at North Molton are not all descendant of the marriage of William Pincombe and Emotte Snow since their marriage probably occurred in the early 1560s. His mother Johane Pencombe (widow) left a will in 1563 whilst living at East Buckland where William also lived after this time naming her children as William, John Alice, Richard and another daughter. The daughters were married to John Lock (Alice) and John Jesse (unnamed daughter). The parish register has William Lock as the husband of Alice Pencombe but the will has John. William is either not yet married or does not have any children in 1563 when the will is written but his brother John has married Emet Hodge and their eldest daughter Johane is named in the will. Richard is also not married. This is the Richard though who died at Chittlehampton and is he the ancestor of Richard Pincombe who married Jane Bond at Chittlehampton in 1652 - I have a broken line there which would be interesting to complete - land records perhaps?

George Pincombe is not a descendant of the William Pincombe and Emotte Snow marriage (at least he is not named in William's will). He is also not named in the will of Johane Pencombe which encourages me to place him in the family of the unnamed brother in the Visitation and we have a William buried in 1564 at North Molton who may have been married to Elizabeth (or the son) and their children Agnes, Mary and a William (father or son? who was buried in 1565). The Parish Register at North Molton definitely adds good additional information to the Pincombe family listed in the Visitation.

This is the only unrevealed marriage and is likely a sister to the brothers listed on the Visitation as she is in their age range. The two baptisms Johane Kingdon baptized 6 Oct 1545 at North Molton (and married to William Hobb 28 Jan 1564 at North Molton) and Emote baptized 26 May 1549 at North Molton are likely their children. Since this is a one name study I do not usually follow the daughters down past the one generation (i.e. their children unless there was a non paternal event).

The records would appear to indicate that of the three brothers in the visitation the eldest John went to South Molton (none of his children appear at North Molton Parish Records), Thomas was known to be at East Buckland and Filleigh and the unnamed son was perhaps the William found in the records at North Molton. Solving the mystery of which William married Margaret Gregorye (father or son) would also be helpful but not absolutely necessary. Since the marriage of William and Margaret Gregorye was at North Molton one might think it was her home parish but not necessarily. Finding a George Pincombe baptized in 1564-1565 is a good next step or finding a will in the Squire family which I have not yet pursued might reveal more details on George other than what is in the Parish Register.

The Thomas Pincombe family certainly fits well into the William Pincombe and Emotte Snow family because they have a son Thomas the right age to be marrying a Katherine (unknown) who had three children listed in the will of Thomas buried in 1653 at North Molton (Bartholomew, Thomas and Grace). Grace is likely married to Richard Haniford (the will makes deciphering of her married name difficult) and they had three children. The Filleigh and East Buckland records in the 1500s would probably have filled in the missing items but one must work with what one has!

  1. Have you found any information about the Phillip(e) Pyncombe who m. Wilmot Beare, 10 Feb 1583? I have him as the son of William and Margaret Gregorie, but have no source to verify this or the rest of his line (phillip-->Richard-->Richard-->Richard-->Richard-->Shubael Pinkham m. Mary Coffin 1683

    Thanks

  2. The original researchers of the Pincombe one name study placed Phillippe Pyncombe and his wife Wilmote Beare at Bideford. I will publish this chart with the next issue of the Pincombe Newsletter 1st of December 2016. Elizabeth (Blake) Kipp
