After doing Bartholomew Pincombe's will, the next one to logically look at is the Will of Richard Pincombe of Poughill, Devon. The earlier Pincombe one name study researchers have this to be the Richard Pincombe who married Jane Bond 30 Jul 1652 at Chittlehampton. However, in his will he makes no mention of a wife Jane or children attributed to him. Perhaps mostly importantly the parish registers of Chittlehampton have this Richard still alive after 1658.

Although I found this marriage on the IGI I did not find it in the Chittlehampton Parish Registers when we visited Salt Lake City. But I could have missed it and would check that again when next we are there just to see the copy (the reference M05044-1) is the original register.
Richard Pyncombe

But the question remains which line of Pincombe is at Chittlehampton? Why did the earlier research group link this Richard back to the John Pincombe/Mary Carew family at South Molton? It is unlikely that they looked at the Visitation or the Wills unfortunately. This particular line has been picked up by a number of descendants of the Chittlehampton family as their ancestry and correcting this discrepancy will not be an easy matter. I suspect one of the reasons may be the name of Joan Bond. One of the executors of the grandfather of Richard Pincombe was John Bond and possibly that was the reason for linking these families. The information for the North and South Molton pedigree charts though was from a family researcher to the individuals doing the Pincombe one name study. In the list of baptisms/burials for Chittlehampton the first in the list is for Helen daughter of Richard Pincombe and baptized 28 Mar 1577. I did not find any more Pincombe entries until the 1650s. Who was this Richard? Was he a son of John Pincombe (died 1604) and brother to John Pincombe married to Amy Doddridge)? If this could be proven then it would be a similar line. But the chart shows Richard to be older by one year than John and he would have thus inherited the property perhaps rather than his brother. All the more reason to acquire the images that show the property which was passed from John (d 1604) to his son John (died 1604/05). It would be interesting to solve that mystery in the Pincombe line although it is not my direct line it is part of the one name study for Pincombe.

The next will to transcribe will be that of Gertrude Pincombe (sister of Richard Pincombe). I wonder if the line of Pincombe to whom the Pincombe coat of arms was designed by the College of Arms is now daughtered out following the death of Richard above. Certainly the South Molton family and the North Molton family share the same ancestor (as does the Bishops Nympton Pincombe family). But who was Richard Pincombe baptizing Helen at Chittlehampton in 1577? Presumably Richard was born between 1540 and 1555 (or could have been earlier).
Of note the earlier will of Johane Pencombe mentions her son Richard and that he had a son. Johane died by 7 May 1563 at East Buckland. Her likely husband Thomas' will was dated 1544 at North Molton alhough he lived at Filleigh and East Buckland. Richard was likely born by 1540 in that scenario and since his mother mentioned him and his son in the will in 1563 this would appear to be a possibility. The wife of this Richard is unknown but he appears to have two children: Thomas and Helen. Thomas is likely to have had a son Richard who married Jane Bond. Helen married Mathew Goule 19 May 1617 at Chittlehampton. I need to see if I can find a baptism or some other document for Thomas son of Richard. This information though, if correct, does make the Richard Pincombe at Chittlehampton a 5th cousin to the Richard Pincombe at Poughill.
This Blog will talk about researching my English ancestors from Canada but also the ancestors of our son in law whose families stretch back far into Colonial French Canada. My one name study of Blake and of Pincombe also dominate my blog these days.
