Biography
From History of Scituate, Massachusetts: "Thomas Pincin (or Pinson) took the oath of fidelity in Scituate, 1638, and, had lands in 1636, 'at the end of the hill, by the swamp, south of Satuit brook.' This was opposite Buck's corner — late Anthony Waterman’s. He married Jane, daughter of Richard Standlake, 1639. His children, Thomas born 1640, Hannah 1642 (wife of George Young 1661), John 1655, Joshua 1658, Waitstill 1650. Some of this family probably removed."[1]
The surname Pinson is variously spelled in the Scituate vital records48 as Penchen, Pincheon, Pinchion, Pinchon, Pincen, Pinceon, Pincin, Pinison, Pinsen, Pinson, and Pynchon. Thomas, Jr., signed his last name "Pinsin."
A Plymouth Colony General Court record says "Thomas Pynson & Joane Stanley marryed ye xth Novembr 1639."[2] This is among a group of marriages that took place within the colony, but no town is noted. It likely took place in Scituate.
In 1681, Thomas Pincin "in consideration of the tender love and fatherly affection" gifted land, including his mansion house in the town of Scituate to his "natural daughter" Hannah, wife of John Wetherell. It was recorded in 1694.[3]
Thomas died by 21 June 1694, when an inventory of his estate was taken. His will, dated 4 April 1689 and proved on 27 June 1694, mentions grandsons Thomas Young and Thomas Pincin; son-in-law John Wetherell; grandchildren Hannah, Margery, Elizabeth, and Patience Young; grandchidren John, William, Wetherell, and Joshua Wetherell. Son-in-law John Wetherell executor; witnesses Joseph Silvester, John Bright, and Thomas Palmer. On 27 June 1694 son Thomas Pincin and daughter Hannah Morey accepted the will. By then the executor John Wetherell was also deceased. Hannah Morey, the wife of the the deceased executor then made administrator of the will.[4]
Research Notes
Thomas Pinson had been shown with parents Henry Pinson (1585-aft.1627) and Sarah (Dexter) Pinson (1585-) without sources on this or his supposed parents' profiles. Anderson ('Great Migration Directory...) says his origins are unknown. The parents have been detached pending reliable sources being added to his profile.
Thomas Pinson married 4 November 1639 Joan Stanley (also spelled Standley or Standlake). Joan had been previously married to Daniel Standlake whose nuncupative will was made in May 1638.[5] The son, Richard Standley, married a widow, Lydia Brestow, who survived him, and her deeds to the Pinsons help to show relationships. For those interested in further research it may be worth noting that the will of Thomas Rickard dated 8 June 1649 gives to Thomas Pinchen; to Joane wife of the afsd Thomas Pincin; to Thomas Pincin and Hannah Pincin the children of afsd Thomas Pincin and also to Richard Stanlacke and Joan Standlake (MD 9:155).

Updated to add: they came in with the profile in 2011 with a GEDCOM. I will detach them. If sources are provided, they can be added back.
