Notes |
- Peter Penegar, Pinnegar is the American corruption of the original Swiss-German name Binnegar (from Binningen)near Basel, who migrated with 3 children to Philadelphia in 1751 and to Augusta Co. Va. in 1763. He signed or rather initialed his oath to King George II as "PB" also on several deeds. The name was changed thru error to "Pinnegar" which is an existing English surname.Mary Pinnegar, wife of Robert Flincham was daughter of Peter Pinnegar. The Culpepper Co. Pinegars, Flinchams, Zieglars, Thornhills and others migrated from Culppepper Co. Va. to Stokes Co. N.C. sometime after the American Revolution ended (1783).
There can be no doubt that the Robert Flinchum of Culpeper and Stokes are the same, for his father-in-law Peter Penegar (grandfather of the one who became Robert's son-in-law) referred to himself as being of Stokes when he sold land in Culpeper in 1793 (Culpeper Deed Book R, p. 356: he had moved to then-Surry and soon to be Stokes in time for the 1779 tax list).
