Researchers Notes
One should not be distracted by seeing the name Pinson spelled as Pynson, or Pinsone, in these documents. It was common in the script of the time to replace the letter i with the letter y and also to add a letter e to the end of words. Another common variant spelling is "Penson". The name is, however, Pinson, which is a Norman word for a small bird, a chaffinch. There is a location called Mont Pinson in the Calvados area of Normandy, which is said to have abounded with those birds. The Pinsons are believed to have come to England in the Norman conquest in 1066. The name has been found in the Domesday Book a few decades later.

There is no factual data shown supporting this profiles claim that Sarah Dexter married Henry Pinson. You don't show a date or a place for the marriage, which indicates you lack a record. I have found no record for the marriage. Nor any record naming a wife, except for the 1627 will of Henry Pinson of Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, which names his wife Frances. This could be a second wife, but If there is no record proving Sarah married Henry, they should be disconnected as spouses.
