Pincombe Charts, original One-Name Study
at the Guild of One-Name Studies
As mentioned in the last issue of the
Pincombe-Pinkham Newsletter, I will continue to publish one chart from the
original study by Dr Richard Pinkham and Galen Pinkham. In total there are 14
charts. I am slowly entering these charts into Legacy and adding in data from
the original parish registers. I do not always agree with these charts but feel
that this is an opportunity to share the charts with the members of this study
and I will perhaps get some feedback on the different charts helping me to
revise them. The chart in this issue is labelled North and South Molton. This
particular chart includes the known Pincombe family found on the Visitation of
Devon 1620. The name of the individual at the top of this Visitation is listed
solely as (unknown) Pyncombe and he is said to have come to North Molton with
Lord de la Zouch around the beginning of the reign of King Henry VII (22 Aug
1485 – 21 Apr 1509). It is known that John la Zouche, 7th Baron
Zouche, 8th Baron St Maur was with Richard III at the Battle of
Bosworth and for that he suffered attainder and forfeiture of much of his
property. In the history of John Baron Zouche there is no mention of his being
at North Molton but given the remote nature of North Devon possibly he came
there with his loyal followers immediately after the Battle of Bosworth. He was
pardoned in 1486 and perhaps returned then to the estates he was permitted to
retain at that time. Definitely though the Pincombe family at North Molton does
appear there from this point onward.
Again I do have some problems with this chart
although I am in agreement with Thomas Pyncombe being the son of (unknown)
Pyncombe and I believe that Johane Pencombe whose will was transcribed in
Volume 1, Issue 2 was his wife. Their children were well documented by her and
included William Pyncombe who married Emotte Snowe and they lived at East
Buckland. Their son Richard is listed on this chart but no family has been
attributed to him. The will of William Pyncombe (married to Emotte Snowe) does
provide the linking of this Richard to the Richard Pincombe found at Bishops
Nympton and my ancestor. However, I have decided to share these charts with the
members of the group and welcome any feedback.

3. Autosomal DNA Study
The Pincombe Autosomal Study now includes twelve
individuals and all of them are descendant of Robert Pincombe and Elizabeth
Rowcliffe. They were married 7 Jun 1803 at Bishops Nympton, Devon. In total there
is sharing of common DNA by different members on Chromosomes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20. The ideal state is that you would be sharing
different sections of chromosomes with different cousins permitting you to
construct a personal chromosome chart showing sections of chromosomes inherited
from different ancestors. These twelve individuals are on three different sites
and ideally to make use of these results you need to be on GedMatch although FT
DNA and 23 and Me do provide a chromosome browser permitting that match to be
studied within the particular site.
Any material which you may wish to submit for the
newsletter can be sent to:
