Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Hon. Col. William PYNCHONHon. Col. William PYNCHON was born on 11 Oct 1590 in Springfield, Essex, England; died on 29 Oct 1662 in Wraysbury, Buckingham, England.

    Notes:

    William Pynchon (October 11, 1590 - October 29, 1662) was a colonial assistant treasurer and original patentee of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He led the 1635 settlement of Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts, which was named after his home village, now a suburb of Chelmsford in Essex, England.

    Pynchon was a theologian; he expressed his views in The Meritorious Price of Our Redemption (1650). Officials of the colony ordered this book burned and demanded that he retract its argument, which was contrary to the colony's official Calvinism. Instead of retracting, he returned to England in 1652, where he remained for the rest of his life. Pynchon built a trading post at Enfield Falls, which would become Springfield, Massachusetts from which he exported between 4,000 to 6,000 beaver pelts a year between 1636 and 1652. The profits enabled him to retire to England as a wealthy man.

    William married Anne Agnes ANDREW in 1618 in Springfield, Essex, England. Anne (daughter of William Andrew and Bridget Rysley) was born in 1595 in Triwell, Northampton, England; died on 30 Aug 1630 in Roxbury, Norfolk Co, MA. [Group Sheet]

    4. 5. Col. John PYNCHON  Descendancy chart to this point was born in 1625 in England; died on 17 Jan 1702.

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Anne PYNCHON Descendancy chart to this point (1.William1) was born in 1620 in Dorchester, Dorset, England; died in in USA.

    Notes:

    the children listed with Henry and Anne cannot all be children to that union. Giles is born when his mother would be 14...possible, but the last four children were all born after Henry's death.

    a Frances Sanford 1567 is also said to be Henry's wife. There were apparently several Frances Sanfords in that time and place, and I have no documentation of any of these relationships, which would have Giles born when she was 37, much more likely

    at least two marriages makes more sense

    Anne married Capt. Henry SMITH in 1638 in Dorchester, Suffolk Co, MA. Henry (son of Mr. SMITH and Frances SANFORD) was born about 1585 in England; died about 1648 in Wethersfield, Hartford Co, CT. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    LINEAGE WARNING FLAG!!!

    Giles Smith's lineage is also in question. Rather than being the son of Thomas Smith and Frances Sanford, he is more likely the son of Henry Smith and Anne Pynchon. Frances Smith then, would be his grandmother, but there is some lack of clarity in this lineage as well. I have no documentation for either lineage.

    Records of Tom Forsythe 2008 at...
    http://www.rumblefische.com/ancestors/chap0015.html#I882
    It is unknown who his [Giles'] parents were. He could not have been the son of Judge Henry Smith and Ann Pynchon as some genealogies show, because that couple did not get married until aft 1637, whereas Giles was born in 1603 according to the "History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield, Volume 2 ". According to "The Planters of the Commonwealth, 1620-1640 ", Ann immigrated with her parents in 1630 indicating that she was not married and was therefore probably not born before 1610. According to the "National Genalogical Society Quarterly, Volumes 1-85 " Henry did not immigrate until April of 1637 so it stands to reason they married after this date. Also Giles is listed in the "Seventeenth Century Colonial Ancestors, Supplement Number Two" as immigrating in 1634. I have found no Genealogical source that claims Giles is their son.

    The above conclusions only hold true if the dates obtained are correct. Below is another view, and yet, neither is substantiated.

    Rational Giles as son of Henry Smith and Anne Pynchon:
    re Thomas Holcombe of CT at
    http://www.holcombegenealogy.com/data/p41.htm
    Of the children of Thomas Sr. by his second wife, Isaac is correctly married to Elizabeth Jackson, who is correctly made daughter of John Jackson by Elizabeth Smith, but the said Elizabeth Smith is then called the daughter of Henry and Ann (Pynchon) Smith. Mr. Henry Smith of Springfield, as is well known, returned to England, and is will, made in 1681, refers to his daughter "Elizabeth Smith, not yet disposed of in marriage" [Waters, Gen. Gleanings in England, 1:723]. But John Jackson had children born 1662 to 1677; and the chief evidence for identifying his wife Elizabeth as a Smith is the fact that the will of Giles smith of Fairfield in 1669 names his daughter Elizabeth Jackson, and no other Fairfield Jackson of that period is known to have had a wife Elizabeth!

    Giles married Mary WHEELER in 1623 in Hartford, Hartford Co, CT. Mary (daughter of Thomas WHEELER and Ann HALSEY) was born on 20 Oct 1615 in Bourne End, Bedfordshire, England; was christened on 20 Oct 1615 in Bourne End, Bedfordshire, England; died after 1654 in CT. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 20. Anna SMITH  Descendancy chart to this point was born in 1625 in Fairfield, Fairfield Co, CT; died on 5 Mar 1661/62 in Fairfield, Fairfield Co, CT.

    Giles married Eunice. [Group Sheet]

  3. 8.  Mary SMITH Descendancy chart to this point (2.Anne2, 1.William1) was born on 15 Nov 1641 in Dorchester, England; died on 17 May 1702.

    Notes:

    although some references suggest that Mary died within a day of birth, the references used here show her married with children - I have no documentation on her.

    one reference gives her as married 4-15-1665 to Richard Lord, Jr., son of Capt. Richard Lord and Sarah ___, and as dying on May 17, 1702, age 59, with one child, Richard Lord 2-1-1669 - 1-29-1712.

    Notes:

    Ebenezer Couch, Sr. is a D.A.R. certified veteran of the American Revolutionary War, serving for Connecticut: A026419


    Ebenezer (Sr.) was also Chairman of the Observation Committee for Fairfield. In the Revolutionary War, that makes him the head of the Culpepper Spy ring in Fairfield, CT. The British became so angry over the success of spies in Fairfield as you may already know, they came w/Hessians across Long Island Sound in 1779 and burned Fairfield to the ground, house by house. That is why Captain Ebenezer and his younger brother, who was a private migrated together to Milton, NY, where they are buried, side by side. Later Sarah Kinney would be buried next to him. Many of the former residents of Fairfield, Ct migrated together to NY.

    Ebenezer Couch was a member of the Safety Committee, his son who had several businesses in Fairfield, Conn., served as a Captain in the Revolutionary war, his son John, played the fife in his company and his son Ebenezer Jr., worked as a waiter for the company. One of their winter encampments in Connecticut is to this day undisturbed and military historians and archaeologists are trying to raise the funds to preserve the 50 plus acre site.

    Captain Ebenezer Couch lost everything to include his wife, businesses, home, as a result of his service. The British wanted to teach the colonists a lesson and selected Fairfield, Connecticut as the place to demonstrate their brutality. The town was burned to the ground and innocent women and children were killed. George Washington addressed the sacrifice of the residents of Fairfield, Conn. Joel Bostwick who served under Captain Ebenezer Couch, died, and his wife, Sarah Kinney Bostwick, and Ebenezer would marry after the war. They would move the family to Saratoga, New York, and live on rented lands.
