24. | Hon. Col. William PYNCHON was born on 11 Oct 1590 in Springfield, Essex, England (son of John PYNCHON and Frances BRETT); died on 29 Oct 1662 in Wraysbury, Buckingham, England. Notes:
William Pynchon (October 11, 1590 - October 29, 1662) was a colonial assistant treasurer and original patentee of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He led the 1635 settlement of Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts, which was named after his home village, now a suburb of Chelmsford in Essex, England.
Pynchon was a theologian; he expressed his views in The Meritorious Price of Our Redemption (1650). Officials of the colony ordered this book burned and demanded that he retract its argument, which was contrary to the colony's official Calvinism. Instead of retracting, he returned to England in 1652, where he remained for the rest of his life. Pynchon built a trading post at Enfield Falls, which would become Springfield, Massachusetts from which he exported between 4,000 to 6,000 beaver pelts a year between 1636 and 1652. The profits enabled him to retire to England as a wealthy man.
William married Anne Agnes ANDREW in 1618 in Springfield, Essex, England. Anne (daughter of William Andrew and Bridget Rysley) was born in 1595 in Triwell, Northampton, England; died on 30 Aug 1630 in Roxbury, Norfolk Co, MA. [Group Sheet]
