Continuing transcription of the "extent of all manors etc" held by John Pincombe, 1605

This document is quite fascinating and my speed of transcribing is slowly improving but will have a few items to check. The verification that he has a living son John Pincombe and that this John's mother was named Anne has been very helpful.  

John Pincombe is named as a ward in 1605 so perhaps a second marriage. I do have another document from 1607 mentioning a John Pincombe who was a ward and will need to think about transcribing that one. I had assumed that most of the documents which I photographed at Kew were for this Pincombe line. This line paid the most taxes so John's ancestor was perhaps the eldest of the three sons of the Pyncombe who arrived with Lord Zouch in 1485.
