Notes for John PYNCHON
• Some records lists his place of birth as “Dorchester, Dorset, England”
• The marriage date in some records report date as 30 Aug 1645.
• He was probably educated at the desks of his parents and the Rev. George Moxon, a graduate of Cambridge University. Rev. Moxon was a lifelong friend of his father and was installed in 1637 as the first pastor at the new settlement of Agawam.
• John Pynchon actually became much more important to the Massachusetts Colony than was his father. He was considered, even up to the time of his death, the “chief man in all the west”. He fit no mould, nor did he conform to any of the familiar colonial types.
