Pinson or Montpinson ???
One of the major problems we had to deal with in looking
for the very first Pinson in history was this :Was the
name Mont-Pinson our original name and did it become the
name Pinson? We could identify Ralph de Mont-Pinson as the
first person in history to bear the name Mont-Pinson. The
question then arose whether the name Pinson derived from
that name Mont-Pinson. Now, we have as good an answer as
can be found in the records. That original Mont-Pinson was
referred to as Pinson in the early records. Referring to
Mont-Pinson as simply Pinson is something we all find true
even today. In doing the work on our Pinson Coats-of-Arms,
we have stumbled upon those early records in which Mont-
Pinson is called Pinson. That information will be included
in the Pinson Coats-of-Arms booklet. David Earl Pinson
