 Perhaps this is a good time to try and sort out George Pincombe and his named brother (on the original Chart 1-2 William Pincombe who was rather well known in this time frame. This William married Temperance Pollard according to the earlier Chart (Chart 1-2 North Molton and South Molton). Fortunately this William left a will probated 17 Dec 1625. The will states that William is of South Molton. His wife is Temperance. He mentions his son William and brothers John Pincombe and Richard Pincombe. He does not mention a brother George but he is deceased; however there were five children and at least two survived at this time in South Molton - Philip and Henrye.

Going to the 1620 Visitation of Devon is helpful as the William Pincombe who married Temperance Pollard is identified as William the son of William Pyncombe and the daughter of .... Snowe (known in the will of William as Emmotte (Snowe) Pyncombe. Since this William (married to Temperance Pollard) has two brothers John and Richard that fits very neatly into the tree except for the age problem.I know more about Richard than any of the siblings. Richard married Anne (unknown) and they had two children Anne who was buried 3 Mar 1598/99 at Bishops Nympton and William baptized 23 Mar 1599/1600 at Bishops Nympton and buried 30 Jan 1654 at Bishops Nympton. Richard married a second time 11 Nov 1603 Bishops Nympton Francis Gill baptized 15 Oct 1567 at Bishops Nympton and this couple had three children John baptized 9 Dec 1604 Bishops Nympton, Kathern baptized 16 Oct 1607 at Bishops Nympton and Mary baptized 14 Mar 1610 at Bishops Nympton. Richard's date of birth is not known. The baptisms begin in 1539 in North Molton. Richard does not appear on any Subsidy including the 1581 so he is not likely 20 years of age in 1581 leaving one with a birth in 1560 or later for him. His father died in 1602 old enough to be a grandfather for his fourth son Richard's son William whom he mentions. He marries before 1598 because his daughter is buried at the end of 1598. His grandmother Johane Pencombe (wife of Thomas) mentions grandchildren when she says my son John Pencombe's daughter who was baptized 5 Jun 1561 at North Molton. The second child for John was baptized after the date of the will. She also mentions another grandchild John Jasse the younger. When she mentions her son William she does not mention any grandchildren so one is left to assume that all of his children were born after 7 May 1563 (date of will). Richard was the fourth son (there were also two daughters) but he is probably born around six years after his eldest brother. If he was born in 1564 then Richard was born perhaps 1570 and he is married in 1598.
