Another beautiful Sunday and it is Thanksgiving Sunday in the Church Calendar. I shall go to church in an hour and a half online as ever. I may break my general rule about working on Sunday with regard to the raking as it looks like it might be a good day to do another bag. Likely three in total from the front yard but we will see. There are a lot of leaves out there.
I mentioned the AI yesterday with regard to my sleep apnea. I had the paid version of FitBit for about five months when the switchover happened. I was considering having it permanently but did not do so. I ended up not using it as much as I thought. But the FitBit AI would give me a sort of analysis of my exercise and its effects and I did discover that I really found that to be a bit restricting although enthusiasm was certainly on the part of the FitBit and one appreciates that sort of support. But in the long run I simply did not use it sufficiently to justify in my mind having the extra support with FitBit. But I really do like my FitBit and will probably always have one now. Whether or not in the future I look to returning to the AI support is hard to say.
I do like AI though and find it very useful in my research and will continue using this tool and the enthusiasm expressed by the AI for this work is really quite interesting. I am finding AI to be more and more useful as I always did use the power of the ability to look items up quickly on the internet mostly just to reinforce my thought but sometimes I had actually forgotten something and it provided the details which brought the memory back. There is so much one can cram into one brain I rather think and that is probably the greatest advantage to AI as we move ahead quickly in our process of attaining a degree of advancement that will protect the planet but provide the best life for the people on the planet.
I will continue working on the Find My Past Pencombe etc. results of the search and I am perhaps half way through the third page. I did find the 1564 Visitation by Vivian et al but did not yet look at the information and will do that probably this week sometime. I believe I looked at it years ago but it is a dim memory so I may review my blogs from that time first. I do not recall though that it provided anymore information than I am currently in possession of with regard to the Pencombe line at North Molton but always good to have a refresher.
I think what will eventually continue to link this study Pincombe-Pinkham is the shared ancestry back to the Pencombe name which in reality is a place name in Herefordshire, England that traveled to Devon for whatever reason. But on the other hand there could be two separate studies as one can see. This one is labeled Pincombe with Pinkham one of the derivatives (for a period of time some members of the Pincombe family used the surname Pinkham in the 1700s and 1800s but that is very less frequent these days).
Solitaire puzzles to do next since it was very late when I did them yesterday. Then back to research.
John Pyncombe Sr wrote his will 25 Jul 1604 and it was probated 15 Apr 1605. John Pyncombe Jr (son of the aforementioned John Pyncombe Sr) wrote his will initially in 1593 but it was not signed until 19 Feb 1597/98. His date of death does not appear to be in the records thus far. But definitely John Pyncombe Jr died before his father (John Pyncombe Sr) leaving one son John Pyncombe who appears on the 1620 Visitation as a student in the Middle Temple and his age is probably appropriate to that time frame. I have more documents at hand now since I wrote blogs years ago - they were my thoughts at the time but the further availability of records improves on that blog. I did find this very confusing years ago and did not fully resolve it at that time; amazing what a decade of time does to one's thinking. This youngest John Pyncombe does marry and have a son Richard who died young relatively in his 20s leaving no male descendant with the Pyncombe surname to inherit and The Pyncombe Charity was created from the wealth of that estate and it still persists in this 21st century.
Have not looked at Free BMD for a while and there are a lot of Pinkham in the 1900s. There is also a lot of Pincombe. I do not usually check out the 1900s as I only plan to work to the beginning of the 1900s.
Still pulling data and not too much new but did reconcile a couple of Barnstaple records.
Another busy day almost concluded.
