Today is cleaning day once again. Yesterday we had a lovely heavy rain which will be most welcomed. July can be such a dry month. Our tomatoes are beginning to ripen and we will soon enjoy them. The peppers are growing slowly and will not amount to much for sure. The lettuces are growing well and we pick some of that most every other day. The green onions I need to take out of the ground this week, the tops are starting to wither a little. The basil, parsley and dill are growing and we are enjoying them in our dinners. The sunflowers are getting taller and taller and we should see flower heads one of these days.
Yesterday I continued reading through the Protestation Returns and found two more possible Pincombe/Pinkham members from this early census. Edmund Pincam and Richard Pincam at Yarnscombe in Hartland Hundred. Surprisingly there weren't any Pincombes/Pinkham at St Giles in the Wood or Roborough on the Protestation Return but there was a Roger Pincombe at Great Torrington with all three of these places being in Fremington Hundred. It is a slow process although I am not having to read all of them from the original document initially as a number of them have been transcribed and so I read the transcription first and then check the original a little quicker!
I am down to Hemyock Hundred in the list. Some of the hundreds are likely to have Pincombe/Pinkham but I need to check all of them I feel at this time. It is a worthwhile project. I am perhaps a third of the way through the hundreds.
We also continued with our downsizing. A list of the tools is now made and we will soon write to the Tool Library to see if they would like any of them. Edward had purchased a package of papers on EBay that contained some Kipp material amongst other families. Since it was all copies I have destroyed all of the non-Kipp material and will take pictures of the remainder and post them on Edward's blog in case anyone is interested. The Kipp information is too late (mid 1800s) to be of use in his pursuit of his 2x great grandfather Isaac Kipp (b 1 Nov 1764) likely in Dutchess County of New York State and who came to Canada with his wife Hannah Mead in October of 1800 as a settler with four of their five children. But I would not like to see the collection of that information lost. I also kept a family tree and other items which I will publish of the family that this particular Kipp married into.
Other than that the work of downsizing is slowly progressing and will take us at least another year to get through everything in a logical respectful manner. Edward was in the midst of doing all of that so we have his verbal instructions that he left with us to complete for him.
