I do have sixteen earlier Charts of the Pincombe/|Pinkham families of Devon and some emigrant lines to the Royal Colonies now the New England States of the United States of America. All of this information has been very interesting. It was collected after the 1960s but there were individuals who gave information to the two researchers Galen Pinkham and Dr Richard Pinkham who being adults in that time frame were likely born before World War II or close to it thus having a knowledge of their Pincombe families in their areas. This is always valuable research and I shall always treasure these charts.
The two researchers also put in time in the repositories collecting information where possible and all of that is also greatly appreciated and was a great inheritance for the Pincombe/Pinkham project.
I spent the morning extracting using specific spellings that I have noted over the past couple of weeks but having done that I also noted a new spelling when I was going through one of the registers and have now added in that spelling because it is obviously (because of the record) another spelling that was used by this family not so much that they wrote it down that way but rather the priest has recorded this spelling in his registers. Although my Pincombe family does appear to read and write back into the at least 1600s not everyone would have been able to correct any spelling of their name. I do know that was a bit of a touchy point in my line as they spelled their family name quite specifically and attempted to correct any mis-spellings including the census here in Canada but that doesn't always come to fruition; spelling is what it is and once written down it is difficult to change although now we are pretty much set in stone here in our century that wasn't the case in the 1800s or even into the 1900s.
Now that I have extracted all this information from Find My Past I am toying with the idea of reading the registers for Pilton, Barnstaple, Tawstock, Ilfracombe, Bideford and Kings Nympton (and continuing to read South Molton and Chittlehampton as I have been doing this week). I have transcribed Bishops Nympton, North Molton, Lankey and parts of Rose Ash. Although my own line seems secure as I take it back into Bishops Nympton I am always on the alert for any record that might add to or change what I do know. In that they did leave PCC wills which still exist that has been helpful as well as the wills in the Inland Revenue Books. I also found transcripts of the wills held by the Society of Genealogists made prior to World War II which was an exciting discovery back in 2013. That let me sort out the death date for my 4x great grandfather John Pincombe.

(T) The item was from a transcript; the original document was not seen by me.
I shall spend time today matching up this information with the charts produced by the earlier researchers. Solving the mystery of the Pincombe family in the 1500s would definitely be a step forward and delving into the South Molton branch has proven to be a good starting point because the families that were first there either daughtered out or moved on (Poughill being one of the locations that they moved to). My own branch at Bishops Nympton appeared to be there from the end of the 1500s into the 1900s although my own direct line emigrated to Canada in 1850/1851.
Finding that John Pincombe perhaps of Barnstaple was into selling at LaRochelle France in the late 1500s was quite fascinating. I had not seen that record before. Have I captured all the spellings though? I think reading some of these early registers will let me see that. Access at Find My Past to the scans of the early registers has been quite fantastic and easier to read than on my fiche reader.
