DID YOU KNOW: On Brandywine Creek, willows weep where Patriots

bled. In the late summer of 1777, at Head of Elk, Haryland, General Howe landed 12,500 troops for a move on Philadelphia. Washington deployed 11,000 troops along the Brandywine. Howe crossed the Brandywine, outflanded Washington and defeated him .. DO YOU KNOW the name of the musket that won the Revolution? In the early days of the War many Americans were armed with the Brown Bess Musl~eto When Benjamin Franklin was in France he purchased a large number of a French musket, the Charleville, an ill!provement over the Jl.mericRn Husl~et.

DESCENT F'ROH SIR HENRY PYNN!

Submitteti-by: Rafael Sagastizabel

'fhis documen-1: was Nri tten by Helena Blanche Frederickson {_i\unt Blanche) to her niece Mary .Alice Harris LJennings, ~·'lho was interested in the !'ynn lineage and later she inherited the wedding dishes of Elizabeth Pynn Harris which had been passed from first daughter to first daughter for over a hundred yearse

7\.unt Blanche is the sister of my Great-grandmother Vir!toria Alexandria Frederickson T·7eeks of the 4th gene:rntion.

!·1ary .i\lice ,Jennings, my mother's sister sent ~·,te a copy of this docu.ment in 1972 Nhen I had first began genealogy. }\t the time I vlas nine years old.

TO T,IJHQH IT ~:JAY CONCEP.N: Based on a document, under date of October 1896, received

from the London 1 England, rvar f"lf'fice v our direct line of maternal descent from Sir Henry Pynn is i'IS fr,llm<Ts:

Sir Henry and his ~<life Susann.::t Pynn had eleven children, of v'lhom the third child, and first daughter, ivA.S nur div-ect maternal ancestress. Prom her \ve ·i::race our Pynn Line'tge, to \'lit:

1. Elizabeth Pynn-Harris 2. Alice Leah Harris~Pm·rer 3. 'lary J. Pm·rer-Frederickson 4. Victoria 7\. Frer'!r~rickson-'7eeks 5. 1\lice B. r,Jeeks-Harris 6. I·lary Alice H-'3.rris The direct female descent ~v::J.S broken in the 5th qeneration

by Francis X. LaHson, son or ~1.ary J. Frederickson-Lmvson, of the 4th generation, who bore no daughter.

Each of these maternal descenr'l.a.nts, wi t!l. the exceotion of Victoria A. T<'rederickson-r'!eeks of the 4th generation, bore more than the one child named for the purpose of this direct maternal descent.

According to in f=orrna tion J:ecei ved from one Emanuel Py:nn, son of one of the sons of Sir Henry, he, Sir Henry, was knighted by the King of Engle.ad (probably George IV or rvilliam IV) for services to the CrcNn. 'rhese services cnnsisted of forming a regiment of voluntc~e::s at Harbor '}race, :"lewfoundland, and fighting with much h-cavery, in Canada. This inform a tion rnA.y be found in Jud']8 i)rc·u:3e' s "History of Ne~·lfoundland".

The des tructio11 of thA orig:inal and authentic J?aners 1

including the will of Sir Henry, oestroyed by r·1illiatn Pynn, second son ot= Sir Henry, ~v-"!.S oue tn a f;:tmily feud. 'J'he tradition is that r•Jillimn Pynn p.::dd the sum or Ti'ive Pounds SterLing (about $25.00) to a London firm for securing conies of t~e ?aoers and the t.vill. Finding that his bt"nthers >'lere unwilling to assist in payment of the sum, he, ''Jilliam, v-muld not give anyone the satisfaction of enjoying the lmoNledge of the heritag~ after he , '·7i lliam, \•Tas go11e. ~'Thi le the a uthen tici ty of this feud may

not be gosj:~el, it mat7:0"t"S not no'd since ti1e evidence of our heritage '.vas destroyed. Hu·<ev~_-~r, ch:i s same instn.nce ~·ms nassed on to me frorr. my grandmothsr, Alice L0ah Harris-Pm1er, anil my mother, ~1ary ,J. Pmver-Frederickso'1. Both stated that ~ire vra.s the means of destruction.

The estate \•Ta.s held in Chancery for many decades after the destruction of the paper evidence, but none of the desceniln.nts had sufficient money to J:IAY the cost of going to England and instituting legal search. The chancery periocls have lonq since exoirer.t.

It is my beJief that the name "Pynn" Nas nronounc2d Penn. r.ta.ry J. Power-Frerterickson, of the 3rd generation, sn nn.Jnounc:eil it.

There is no definite evidence that the Pynn fanily vla.s in any wrty connected Hith the Penns o-F Pennsvl.v;mi::t., ~lthouq!1 Hary J. Povrer-Frederickson of' the 3rd g13neratinn, stated that Elizabeth Pynn {her grandmother) '"'.TOY"e the (}uaker kerchief, and maintained an almost tmbroken silence during the only tiMe the tr.11o met.

There are further ramifications o~ descent through other of:t'spring of the various generations, but t0 tl-!e best o-F rrty knovTlei!ge and belief the ~oregoing statements co:q.cerninq the direct maternal descent are true.; ·

He bought some land in the Travis County area, was one of ''The Three Hundred'' who first went into Texas, and is found in the first Census of Texas, being listed as a stockman and farmer. He had two sons and one daughter at the time of the first Texas census (1826). Westalls have been found in Braz,oria, Bastrop and Travis counties in 'l'exas.

At the l'1arch meeting, Hr. and I'1rs. Charles Sullivan presented a very interesting program on Brass Rubbings. 'l'he Sullivan's, who have traveled extensively in England, have a large collection of the rubbings and much knowledge as to their significance--all of which they shared with the Society. Brass Rubbings can provide valuable genealogical and historical data, as well as serve as decor items.

The Society is indebted to this very nice couple for the opportur~ty to learn more about this art forme
