F, b. before 1570, d. 22 April 1650
      The Name Phinney first appears in this country about 1637. The name is variously written; it appears under the form of Geney, Giney, Finney, Finny, Phenney, Phine, Phiney, Phinney, Phyney and Pleney. Ancient spelling: Fenis, de Fienes, and De Fiennes.
     
     
      In early days many names took the dimunitive form by adding ey. The name might come from the Latin "finis" (the end and mean a man who lived at the end of a cape or point of land.
     
     
      In the New York Public Library may be found a copy of "The Cheshire and Lancashire Historical Collector," edited by T. Worthington Barlow, Manchester, 1855. which carries the family back to "Lord Baron Fenis, 1066, a kinsman of King William the Conqueror."
     
     
      "Ingelram de Fiennes, a lord in Boulogne, who lost his life at Acon, 1189, married before 1171, Lady Sybilla de Boulogne de Tingrie. Maude, daughter of Ingelram de Fiennes, married Humphrey de Bohum (d. 1298). He and Roger Bigod ruled England under Edward I, the most powerful of all barons.
     
     
      William de Fines feudal lord of Martock, Somerset, of which manor he had livery, in 1207-08 on quit claim of his mother. He died in 1240-40. Bartholomew de Hampden (a descendant of Baldwin de Hampden, who was of note before the Norman invasion) married a daughter of Lord William de Fienes."
     
     
      The first members of the Phinney family to reach this country, were Mother Phinney withat least three children, or she may have accompanied her two sons and daughter. They came over from England and settled in Plymouth, Ma, before 1637. Mother Phinney was probably born in England. Some genealogists give her name as Catherine, but no proof that this was her correct name could be found.
     
NN---- was born before 1570 at England.2 She married Robert Finney circa 1595 at Parish Lenton, County Nottinghamshire, England. NN---- died on 22 April 1650 at Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts.2
