William Pink 1758 Anne (Hannah) Osgood 1759

This is the earliest Pink ancestor that I know of.  I think William had at least one brother:  Robert (who married Olive Baker). 

There were two Osgood men in the Froxfield parish that were having children at the same time as Hannah and William.  One is Henry Osgood (married to Sarah) The other is Thomas (married to Olive) - either or both could be Hannah's brothers.

William Pink
Born abt 1758 England

Nancy Fox
Born 1751 Virginia
Note: In her father's will it is stated: "Item: I give to my daughter Nancy FOX, the use of my Negro boy ABRAM and my Negro girl PHEBEE to be and continue in the hands of my wife during her life and after death for my daughter Nancy to go in care of John KENDRICK and Amy his wife..."   this makes it sound as if Nancy may be a special needs child - as if he had to make provision for his youngest by assigning not only her future caretakers, but giving animals and (sadly) slaves so she might be cared for.  It also states in his will:  ...to be equally divided amongst my children except Nancy who I don't allott to have any part of my estate.
