"Another branch of the family in England was represented about the middle of the seventeenth century by the Reverend John Pynney, of Broad Windsor, County Dorset, who was born in 1622 and died in 1705, leaving issue by his wife, Jane French, of Nathaniel (died young), John, Jane, Sarah, Rachel, Caleb, Hester, Nathaniel, Azariah, and Mary."
"Take the case of Azariah Pinney of Broadwindsor, son of John Pinney the local minister."
"He was of the Presbyterian persuasion, and held the living of Broadwindsor, which the great church historian, Thomas Fuller (the author of English Worthies), had been forced to abandon for his loyalties to church and King."
"He was also interested in the lace business - a fact which proved important in the history of his family."

"Born: 1620 Of Broadwinsor, Dorset, England"

"Before the restoration of the church at Bettiscome in 1862 the inscription on the tombstone to Pinney's memory was transcribed as follows: 'Here lieth the Body of John Pynney of Bettiscombe Gent Minister of the Gospel who departed this life the 6th. of December 705.'
"In his will, dated April 10, 1702, and 'written with my owne hand being fourscore and two years old', ..."
"But the reaction gathered strength and on St. Bartholomew's Day, 1662, John Pinney, like many other 'martyrs,' was ejected from Broadwindsor for his refusal to conform to the prayer book."
"Lineage. - Rev. John Pynney, of Broadwindsor and Bettiscombe, Dorset, b. 1622, and bur. at Bettiscombe Church 1705, left, with other issue..."
"And was married the last day of November following', and later there is a regular family register (Azariah's birth alone being recorded in his mother's writing)."
"He enters in his memorandum book that he promised marriage to his wife (Jane, daughter of William French of Halstock) on August 4, 1644, 'at the [?] Bourn bridge in Halstocke one houre before Sunsett being Lords day."
