Hi,
Just have to reply to your post as I am a descendant of the Pynns for Quirpon. G.G.Grandfather, Sir Henry Pynn was the first of the Pynn settlers in Quirpon. He was the admiral of the royal fleet sent to protect the british fishing boundaries of the northern peninsula. He had several children. One of which is my g.grandfather, Frederick Henry Pynn. He had four wives over the course of his life and the last one, Sarah Patey, was my grandmother's mother. She was Elizabeth Pynn. There are several half brothers and sisters. One I know to be Charles Pynn and a sister, Abigael who left NL for Boston in the early 1900's or late 1800's. Charles Pynn was a decorated war hero. Trying to find more on him through RNR. The records of NL archivists are shady at best because of the fire in St. John's in 1891 - 2 that burnt the gov't buildings consisting of all vital statistics. Most of the records are now based on hearsay which can lead Sir Henry to a boy from Harbour Grace!!! (That was a rather phantom leap that I had found at one point!)
Would love to find more of the Pynns in NL.
