I needed to choose a new person to think about for the Pincombe-Pinkham newsletter discussion section. I will perhaps try this approach for a while to see if I can stimulate any interest for people submitting articles to the newsletter of their interesting Pincombe-Pinkham ancestor. This time I chose my 4x great grandfather John Pincombe who left a will probated in 1795 with two John Pincombes dying at Bishops Nympton in 1794/95. I was never able to separate them because the will was not available. I knew it was likely his will because he had had land which he passed to his sons but he could do that also without a will. A visit to the Society of Genealogists library in 2013 did reveal part of an answer to all of that and I am just now writing that up in the newsletter.
I have been a bit of an ostrich with one's head in the sand dealing with the Pincombe-Pinkham newsletter. The original study was started by two Pinkham researchers back in the beginnings of the Guild of one name studies. I have simply picked up their research study and carried on but more from the Pincombe perspective as my line was Pincombe from Bishops Nympton/North Molton. Although yDNA has shown that these two families (mine from Bishops Nympton) and Pinkham lines are not related I do not want to break up a study that shows that the Pinkham/Pincombe surname spellings were used interchangeably in Pincombe families in Devon from the 1700s on. Possibly earlier but I have not yet delved deeply into the Pinkham family.
Sunday again and Church on YouTube at 10:30. I am not sure I will ever attend an in person service again at the Cathedral. It means my driving downtown which I could do but I enjoy being at home and going to Church virtually. I do not miss any of the service because I can not see around people and I can hear the entire sermon easily. It will be nice when the choirs return as I love the music.
