Biography
In the absence of records, John Pinney's birth year is estimated as 1595. He was the son of John Pinney (1551-1632) and his wife Johanna. By occupation, he was a draper.
John Pinn(e)y married Protesia Holdich in Exeter, Devon, England, in 1620[1] or on 5 January 1620/21.[2]
The will of John Pynney of the city and county of Exon, drap, was written on 25 May 1637 and proved in Exeter, Devon, on 19 July 1639 by his widow, identified as "Parthesy Pynney", who served as executrix. In his will he provided 3 s., 4 d. each, to the parish churches of Brodway, Hardington, and St. Pedrox in Exon (i.e., Broadway, Somerset; Hardington Mandeville, Somerset; and St. Petrock, Exeter).[3]
In the will, he mentioned his seven children:
- John
- Ed
- Elli
- Sara
- Hester
- Susan
- Prudence
He mentioned "their uncle Edmond Pynney's legacy being included in" their inheritances.
Research Notes
John Pinney and his wife Protesia have been identified as the parents of Sarah (Pinney) Poole, but it is more likely that Sarah was a daughter of John Pinney's brother Nicholas.[4]

Both of these claimed fathers left wills. John Pinney (1551-1632) named numerous children, including a son John, in his will. The will of John Pinney (1558-1629) gives no indication of any living sons (he does mention a daughter, and some other relatives were named as heirs). Based on this information, I will merge these profiles, keeping John Pinney (1551-1632) and wife Johanna Unknown as this man's parents.
