Surnames: PYNCHON, NORTON, RUMRIL, ADAMS
Wealthy PYNCHON married the widower, Simeon NORTON, in Suffield, Hartford County, CT on 16 Apr 1838. She was about 70 years old and this was her first marriage and Simeon's third marriage. Simeon NORTON died in March 1846. Simeon was the son of Simeon NORTON and Mary ADAMS and was born in Suffield, Hartford County, CT on 22 Apr 1770. He was married first on 25 Dec 1790 in West Springfield, Hampden (then Hampshire) county, Massachusetts to Charlotte LOOMIS. They apparently lived just over the state line in West Suffield, CT. Charlotte died in 1805 and Simeon married 2nd to Sarah RUMRIL in West Springfield, MA on 14 Sep 1809. We would like to discover the parents' names for both Sarah RUMRIL and Wealthy PYNCHON.
We know that the PYNCHON family was prominent in the establishment of Springfield, MA. We think that Wealthy PYNCHON may have been a descendant of that family.
We would like to find any descendants of the Springfield, MA PYNCHON family.

My husband is descended from Walter Pynchon of Springfield who settled in Great Barrington during the Revolution. I have a certain amount of information on the family, but I don't have anything on Wealthy. Feel free to get in touch with me, though, if you're looking for descendents.
