Ist Generation. The HON. COL. WILLIAM PYNCHEON, one of the first patentees of the Colony of Massachusetts, and Treasurer of the same, came to New England in the year 1629, with Governor Winthrop and others; in the year 1636, he, as principal leader of the first settlers, came from Roxbury to Springfield. By the public records it appears that his children which were with him in Springfield were-Colonel John Pyncheon, his successor, the wife of Mr. Henry Smith, Mary the wife of Captain Elizur Holyoke, and Margaret, who was married Dec. 6, 1644, to Mr. William Davis. By the records of the general court of Massachusetts, it appears that Colonel William Pyncheon published something which the court considered to be heretical, and which gave offense. The court proposed to write to England, signifying their dis- approbation of the doctrines advanced by Col. Pyncheon, and they also appointed Mr. Norton, of Ipswich, to write an answer to the sentiment advanced by Col. Pyncheon. They also suspended him from his office at Springfield, appointing Mr. Henry Smith to succeed him. These transactions of the general court, with some other difficul- ties with people of Connecticut river, are supposed to have been the cause of Col. William Pyncheon's leaving Springfield and Massachu- setts, as it it is said he did Sept. 1652, with his son-in-law, Mr. Henry Smith, and returned to England. He died in a place called Wraisbury, Oct. 1662, age 72.
