I am almost one third of the way through the Psalms. It has been a wonderful time reading the Psalms of my youth, my adult hood and now my old age. The Psalms echo through the ages with their words of truth, of consolation, of God's love. Thank you God for another beautiful day on Your earth - what You have created is good and we must keep it so.
Yesterday I ended up looking at once again at two documents created in the early 1600s dealing with a Ward: John Pincombe in South Molton. I did photograph both of the items and will now begin to read them. Along with that there is an item that concerns George Pyncombe and his wife Dorothie (at North Molton) but dealing with property in Dunster, Somerset. I do not actually want to order that document because I have no interest in property in Dunster although do know there was a William Pincombe there in this time period but do not know how he may relate with the North Molton/South Molton Pincombe family and wonder if it would actually tell me that. Perhaps I can ask someone at the Guild going into the Archives to look at it for me briefly. So my work cut out for me today as always. I reached George Pyncombe's record of will probate (destroyed in 1942) at North Molton in 1624. Is it possible that he was a son of William (son of John Pencombe (1486)) and that just came across my mind? William's first wife Elizabeth died in 1563 and her infant son in 1564. Their two daughters were still living it appears at this time. I believe that this is the William who married Margret Gregorye at North Molton 23 Nov 1564. George Pincombe could have been their son as a birth in 1565 is quite reasonable even though William was buried 25 Mar 1565 at North Molton.
A view of the graph that shows how much access my blog receives daily
Some of the wills that I have transcribed are very frequently accessed and there are several thousand wills on the site plus I used to do a writeup on the individual if I knew anything about them. I still have about 400 Blake wills to transcribe one of these days. So actually in a given day it appears 20,000 to 25,000 views apparently between 9 October and 15 October but that does include bots. I always say that I look at the comments but generally do not post them and only occasionally answer them. Generally I have about 60 to 80 hits per day on the daily blog but some posts do acquire quite a few on occasion.
Summing up, George Pincombe, listed on Chart 1-2 as a son of William Pincombe bc 1540 is married to Dorothy unknown (the marriages are missing from 1570 to 1606) and involved in a legal suit at Dunster (1603-1625), Somerset where there was a William Pincombe living for a short time. I do not know who this William Pincombe is living in Somerset. But George and Dorothy have five children baptized at North Molton from 1592 to 1602 I am trying to resolve how they fit into the picture. William son of John Pencombe (1486) baptizes three children at North Molton 1543, 1547 and 1564 so is a possibility for being this William at Dunster which never occurred to me before and also the father of George (actually the only likely William as the William on Chart 1-2 (son of William Pincombe and Emotte Snow) is shown as dying young in the mid 1560s whereas he actually married Temperance Pollard 23 Jan 1597 at Kings Nympton!). But I already mentioned that Chart 1-2 is inaccurate with regard to the Pencombe/Pyncombe families at North and South Molton. William the son of John Pencombe (1486) does die in 1565 but the potential of having another child namely George was certainly there from his marriage with Margret Gregorye and Margret married William Squire at North Molton three years later after the death of William (26 May 1567). I have puzzled over that Chart for awhile now. Initially I just looked at all the Charts because I was so new to the research of Pincombe and had not yet been to the Society of Genealogists where the information from Dr Richard Pinkham was deposited. But gradually I noted problems especially with Chart 1/2 as that was information, some of which had been told to me by my Uncle. Some of it he had written down from his father and uncle (this was fairly fresh in my mind as we visited with my uncle and aunt on our way back and forth to London from here as they lived in Toronto). My grandfather was very close to his Uncle Richard, and all of his first cousins.
The naming of the daughters and sons in George's family (five children) was interesting as Emott and Johane were selected and likely George was raised by William and Emotte (Snowe) Pincombe at East Buckland since his father was deceased and his mother remarried (the two daughters presumably were raised by William and Emotte since they were not Margret's children. That that occurred although I have no idea. Or at least he spent time with them. Johane - was a common name in England. The sons were surprisingly Philip, William and Henrye (Philip and Henrye are not usual names in the Pincombe family) but William makes sense as George's father deceased before he was born. Perhaps Philip and Henrye (and Johane) were a nod to Dorothie's family. I did not yet find a marriage but it would likely have been around 1591 and those records are missing at North Molton having transcribed the registers up to the early 1700s from the beginning.
So today my collaboration with the AI looking at what I have discovered the past two weeks of research. I need to prepare my notes for the meeting probably this afternoon some time.
Solitaire puzzles time.
