We believe that our Daniel Pynes who first shows up in Darlington, So.Carolina in 1770 was the child of a William Pyne(s) from England. My line is Daniel Pynes, White Pynes, James Pynes, Ollie Pynes, Samuel Pynes and Sue Pynes. Daniel's wife was Rutha Knotts. She was the daughter of Benjamin Knotts and Deborah Jones (Sister of Jeremiah Jones). We think Daniel's family were friends of the Jones family and came to America with Captain Roger Jones. We think Daniel may have had a brother Benjamin Pynes and a sister Jane Pynes. Am interested in the name of the nine children of William Pyne and Mary Seaman. Email me at
