Biography
Joanna (or Johane or Johanna) was the wife of John Pinney and mother of several children, including Humphrey Pinney, who was baptized in Hardington-Mandeville, Somerset, England, on 20 November 1605. [1] The will of Edmond Pinny of Brodwaye in the County of Somerset, yeoman, written 7 December 1631, mentions her as Johane, the wife of his brother John Pynney.[2]
Her maiden name is not known, and no other information is available for her.
This WikiTree profile (Hawkins-230) was created in October 2010 with the name Johanna Hawkins and indications that she was born in 1582 in Broadway, a village north of Chard in south Somerset, England, and died in 1632. No sources were cited for this information. As a result of a later merge with profile UNKNOWN-89097, those details were incorrectly attributed to The Great Migration Begins, but that book does not give any such details. The birth date may be an estimate that she was a few years past 20 years old at the birth of her first child, and the death date of 1632 may be only an indication that she was alive as of the 7 December 1631 date of Edmond Pinney's will.
From her husband John Pinney's will:
- "Item. as touching my wife with whom I coupled my self in the feace of God I give and bequeath unto her Twenty poundes of good and lawfull money of England foure Kyne one mare and the halfendeale of all my household stuffe"
Note: her name is not given in the will.

Anderson's Great Migration Study of Humphrey Pinney:
BIRTH: Baptized Hardington-Mandeville, Somerset, 20 November 1605, son of John and Joanna (___) Pinney [M&JCH 17:118 (this baptismal date was published without full documentation; as the register for this parish apparently does not exist prior to 1687, this date may come from Bishops’ Transcripts; confirmation of this would be welcome)]
Critical parish registers may be lacking, but there are other documents about this family (see Pinney Family Notes) that may be available to researchers on the ground in Somerset, Devon, and Dorset, so it is possible that some family relationships (possibly including relationships claimed in the profiles contributed in the early days of WikiTree) can be found or confirmed.
Here, I notice that her name "Hawkins" uses Anderson as the source. Can you point me to where Anderson says that, please?
This is the start of a long and largely unsourced line to Saher de Quincy. I'm looking for proof that her son was actually a "Gateway", as he does not appear so in sources.
Thanks
