| Notes |
- Robert Pennoyer, brother of William , a turner by trade, born perhaps in 1614, was alive in January 1677, then of Mamaroneck, Westchester Co., N. Y., and resided in Gravesend, Long Island, N. Y., Stamford, Conn., and Rye and Mamaroneck. He married, first, about 1652, an unknown wife, who became the mother of his children, and who died by 6 March 1671; and, secondly, after 1666, and before 6 March 1671, Elizabeth Scofield, widow of Richard Scofield of Stamford.
It has been thought that this Robert is identical with a Robert Pennaird, aged 21, who with a Thomas Pennaird, aged 10 , came over on the Hopewell, of London, Thomas Babb, Master. She sailed about the middle of September and arrived in Boston, Mass., the latter part of November 1635. He was certainly the Robert Pennoyer, of Gravesend, Long Island, in 164—, and again in 1645. 23 Aug. 1656 we learn that the lands of Robert Pennoyer, et als., at Gravesend were surveyed, from the Calendar of Dutch Ms., 189. 1 Aug. 1670 his daughter, Elizabeth "Penrye", was married to Richard Lownesbury, from Court of Assizes, 2:572. 24 Dec. 1670 John Richbell, of Mamaroneck, with his wife, Ann sold to Robert "Penoire", homelots, numbers 2 and 3, there, see Liber 1677-1683 [in Albany ?J.
6 March 1671, the inventory was made of the estate of Richard Scofield, late of Stamford, deceased, filed 16 March 1671, which mentions the widow, now the wife of Robert "Penoyer". The next record appears in Boston 18 Oct. 1671:
"1 Robert Penoyer Late of Stamford doe .. . Ordayne my freind Jonathan Sellick to bee my .. Attourney to demand & receave for mee my full Legacy Left mee by my Brother mr William Penoyer Late of London .. as witnes my hand & scale in Rve this 18th of October 1671. Robert Penoire". Wit: John Richman, Miles Okely, and the mark of Nicolas Webster; attested 19 Oct. 1672 by Richman and Webster; recd. 20 April 1672.
Further deeds are of interest in proving the names of his children:
8 Jan. 1671-72, Robert "Penoyer", of Mamaroneck conveyed property, purchased of Richbell, to his dearly beloved children: William and Thomas Penoyer;
the cattle and household goods to be divided between said sons and daughter, Martha Penoyer; Robert was to have full management of all the property during his natural lifetime. Westchester Deeds, B:100. Another abstract of this deed gives the date as 18 Jan. 1671-72, calls the grantor "Penoyre", recites that he gave to children, William and Thomas, all rights to his estate, real and personal; to eldest son, William, two thirds of the land purchased of said Richbell, and for want of issue to son Thomas; daughter, Martha, also named. Westchester Deeds, B:100.
1 Jan. 1677, a statement that William Penoyer did bequeath to Walter Butler, of Greenwich, Conn., son of Evan Butler, of Cursonn, in the county of Hereford, the sum of four score pounds. Westchester Deeds, at Albany, 4:26.
Recorded for Mr. George Heathcott, 7 Jan. 1677. "Whereas William Penoyer, Esq., citizen and clothworker of London, did make his last will in writing bearing date the five & twentieth day of May 1670; and among other things ordered that £800 be laid out in merchandise fit for New England & sent over to the Corporation for the Propagation of the Gospel in New England; delivered to Robert Penoyer of Stratford for the benefit of himself & children & did appoint Richard Leton Esq., & Michael Davison, Esq., Executors; . . . the residue to Ellena Reading & her children. The sd Michael Davison has since died. Now there is no such corporation in New England to which sd goods may be consigned & sold and proceeds divided amongst respective persons; neither can security be taken for children. Robert Penoyer is removed to Mamaroneck in New York State and hath only 4 living children, viz., Elizabeth Pennoyer, aged 24, William Pennoyer, aged 22, Thomas Pennoyer, aged 17, and Martha Pennoyer, aged 11, under age, January 1677. Signed
Robert Pennoyer
Elizabeth Pennoyer, now Lounsbury
Wm. Will Penoyer"
Wit: William Dyre, George Kniffon, John Royse, William Hall, and Anthony Buckholm. Westchester Deeds, at Albany, 4:9.
29 Jan. 1677, Robert Penoyer, of Mamaroneck, Turner, William Penoyer, of the same place, son of the said Robert, with Richard Lounsbury, of Rye, Conn. and Elizabeth Lounsbury, his wife, oldest daughter of the said Robert, conveyed to Richard Leton, of London, England, and to George Heathcott, of Middlesex Co., England, mariner, by bond. Westchester Deeds, at Albany, 4:23. f
There is mention in a deed, dated 2 April 1694, of land formerly in the possession of Robert Pennoyer and now in the possession of his son . Westchester Deeds, B: 177. It would seem therefore that Robert was surely dead by April 1694. [1]
