  There is one reference that he came to America with a group of British
  Soldiers during 1666 under the command of a Captain Leisler.
  
  There is a public document indicating that he used the surname PANGBURN
  during 1675. Note; at that time the area he resided in was Dutch and
  additionally he married a Dutch woman.
  
  Comment: On Aug. 25, 1676 he was appointed Currier and in 1682 a Sealer of
  Leather.
  
  He resided at Nassau Co., NY, Oyster Bay, Long Island on May 10, 1682.
  A public record dated May 10, 1682 states that Edmond/Edmund was his second
  son. The record involves Edmond becoming an apprentice. There is also a
  reference that Richard and Stephen were the descendants of Grace Ffidoe.
  
  During 1689 he was listed as a soldier defending Fort New York. His age was
  given as 48 years and his surname as PANGBORN.
  
  He died abt. 1696 or 1697, approximately 55 or 56 years of age. Comment:
  There is a village about fifty miles north of London, named Pangbourne,
  England.
  
  He is not listed in Peter Coldham's books. The Complete Book of Immigrants
  which has a time period from 1606 to 1699.
  
  An early public record indicates there was a Pangbourne, Ephriam also
  residing in New Amsterdam (later to become New York City). Since there is no
  records, regarding him, it is thought that Ephriam was probably Pieter's
  brother. It doesn't appear that Ehpriam married, owned property, etc.
  
  There are New Amsterdam (now NY City) public records, dated 1673 and 1674,
  regarding his having a debt default.

  "This first issue of the PANGBURN LETTER is published at the cost of the Editor. The intent is non-profit and Is to be used to distribute information to others interested in the PANGBURN lines. Input from readers on their data is the most important function of this publication.
  "We will start by delving into one of the main controversies - the spelling of the NAME. Early Dutch records in Albany and Schenectady County, N.Y., show PENBERN, PANBERN, PAGBURN, PLANGBERN and finally PANGBURN. Later we have PANGBORN, PANGBORNE, PANG-BOURNE and PANGBURN.
  "This list could go on ad nauseam but all the variations seem to be actually the same family if we go back far enough.
  "Town records of Oyster Bay, N.Y. reveal the earliest record of our surname A "PETTER PANGBORNE, " cordwinder, residing in Oyster Bay, on 10 May 1682 indentured his second son" Edmond PANGBORNE, as an "apprintize" to John Rogers, Husbandman of the same town counties.
