Edward Pyner

This information is obtained from the will of Edward Pyner of Knighton, Herefordshire who died between 1612 and 1615.

Edward married Margarett and they had two sons, John, possibly named after Edward's brother John, and Edward who may have been the first born as he bears the same name as his father.

John, son of Edward, died before the will was made in March 1612 but he had a daughter Elizabeth who was still alive at that time.

The other son Edward was still alive in 1612 and may have had children, although none were named in the will.

The will mentioned a surprisingly large number of people who were :-
