note
Morse calls her mother "Anna, daughter of Hon. John Wyllys," an error for Amy, daughter of George.

Mother of Mary (Whiting) Sheldon. The only daughter of John Pynchon of Springfield to grow up, she was born on 28 Oct 1650 (source) and married Joseph Whiting, then a young merchant at Westfield, in 1669 or 1670 (source). She had two children, Mary (b. 19 Aug 1672) and Joseph (b. 5 Oct 1674), and died soon after the second. Her share of the Pynchon fortune descended through her daughter to her granddaughter Mary (Sheldon) Hitchcock, whose husband "received from the Pynchon estate three hundred and seventy-nine pounds, being the rest of his wife's fortune from that source" (source).
