1. WILLIAM PRINDLE
William Pringle (also spelled Prindle in his will), a native of Scotland, the emigrant ancestor and progenitor of the family in America, settled in New Haven, Conn., where he took the oath of fidelity to the New Haven Jurisdiction,Theophilus Eat on, Governor, on April 4, 1654.
He is first mentioned in the New Haven Colonial Records as "the Scotchman which lives at Mr Allerton's," who was one of the Mayflower Pilgrims. Savage says that William Pringle "was a proprietor in 1685, and so was Joseph, who may have been a so n."
He married, December 7, 1655, Mary Desborough, daughter of _____ Desborough (also spelled Disburrow in copy of ancient records), Mr. Stephen Goodyear, magistrate, officiating.
His will was dated October 17, 1689, and probated June 5, 1690. Although the place of his burial is not now known, it is supposed to have been in the New Haven Green. She joined with son Eleazer, as late as April 6, 1697, in a deed, and probabl y died about 1700-01.

APPENDIX
NOTE 1.
The name of William Pringle, the emigrant and progenitor of the Prindle family traced in this volume, first appears in America, in the Colonial Records of New Haven, Conn., in 1653-54, where he is referred to as "the Scotchman which lives at M r Allerton's."
He took the oath of fidelity to the New Haven Jurisdiction, Theophilus Eaton,Governor, on April 4, 1654; married Mary Desborough, December 7, 1656; and after living for some time in New Haven, bought about 1672, from the administrators of the es tate of Sergeant Thos. Jeffreys, 24 acres of land in what is now West Haven, but then really a part of New Haven, and known as"West Farms," and settled there. This land lies between what is now Main and Elm Streets, and Second and Third Avenues , and the old house formerly stood in Second Avenue near Main Street. A part of this land is now owned and occupied by the children of Rollin W. and Lugevia (Prindle) Hine, descendants of the 8th generation, and lies opposite their present home . His name is not found on a list of residents of New Haven, 1640-50.
These brief items tell nearly all that is now known of William Pringle, but much more is needed to satisfy the interest in the progenitor of a family, and we find considerable information of value in the general history of the times and custom s of the people where he dwelt.
Isaac Allerton was a passenger on the Mayflower ...
This is the man under whose roof our William Pringle found a home, but for how long a time we do not know. The town records of New Haven make some interesting references to him, which gives us some idea of the man he was, as will be seen by th e following extracts:
"Feb. 27, 1653.--The townsman were desired and appointed to speak with the Scotchman which lives at Mr Allerton's, and see if they can agree with him to sweep the chimneys in the town according to the order made 13th of November 1643."
"Jan. 28, 1655.--It was propounded that one might be gotten to sweep chimneys in the town. William Pringle was named, and some were desired to speak to him to come to the governor and speak with him about it."
"Feb. 11, 1655.--The governor further acquainted the town that William Pringle, who was spoke of to the last court to sweep chimneys for the town, had been with him, and propounded some difficulty in the work, but the manner of paying discourage d him much, but hoping that may be amended, he is willing to try another year, if the town will lend him 40 shillings in corn, and let him have a canvas frock, and hood, to cover his clothes when doth the work. But now, Peter Mallory, from him d eclared, that the 40 shillings to be lent, he let it fall, so he may have the frock propounded, and his pay for his work duly paid him. The town declared if canvas can be got, he shall have such a frock and hood, he promising that if he leave th e work, to leave such garment to the town again, and that men pay him down for his labor, or otherwise to his content, but if not, upon complaint the court will see it remedied, and that all chimneys in the town be included, and none exempted fr om pay, though they sweep them themselves, provided that he come within such time Winter and Summer, as is expressed in an order in the town records."
"The 4th of the 10th month, 1656.--The townsmen are desired to treat with William Pringle and agree with him to sweep chimneys for the town as they see cause."
The inhabitants were obliged to have their chimneys swept twice a year, or be fined. The doer of the task was not looked down upon by the others, for there were many things essential to the welfare of such a community that were not particularl y agreeable, but persons to perform such duties were appointed by the town meeting and regarded as a call to duty for the common welfare. Many of the early chimneys were built of logs and plastered with clay on the inner surface, and it was, the refore, a matter of self protection to appoint and maintain the office of Chimney sweep. But it was sometimes difficult to get and keep one in the office, largely, no doubt, because "the manner of paying discouraged them much," for in 1658 "th e townsmen informed the Court that they could prevail upon no man to be chimney sweeper." William's independent way of "treating with the townsmen" indicates his standing in the community.
After these records William's name appears in the transfer of property, and in the birth records of his children, etc. His will, dated October 17, 1689, and probated June 5, 1690, with inventory of his estate also appear, but the exact date of h is death is not now known.
William and Mary were in all probability buried in the ancient ground of New Haven Green, which was used as a place of burial from 1638 to 1812.
The part of this ground so used was that around and under the present Center Church, in the crypt of which are still preserved many headstones of the early settlers. When the Green was leveled in 1820 the stones that were in good condition wer e taken to the then new Grove Street Cemetery and placed against the stone fence, but none can be found there of William or Mary.
The vestry records of Christ Church date back as far as known only to 1778,while those of Trinity Church date back only a few years earlier, to 1767, and contain the names of many Prindles, including those of Joseph, at which time the Prindles o f New Haven were, and ever since have been, stanch Episcopalians.
It is not known to what denomination William belonged, but in the assignment of seats in the old "meeting house," by order of the general court, Feb.20, 1661-2, the name of William Pringle appears, with others, on the list ofthose seated "Belo w the door," and Mrs Isaac Allerton is assigned a seat, with other women, "In the short seats at the upper end," Mr. Allerton having died in 1659. It is probable that William may have had a sitting in the meeting house before this time, as the l ast order of the court before this assigning the seats, was dated 4 yrs. before and then the names of both Mr. and Mrs. Allerton appear.
Besides the name of William Pringle in 1653, on the New Haven records, we have a John Pringle, "after planter," in 1645, on the Milford records; but thus far nothing further has been learned about him, nor of his relationship,if any, to William . He might easily have been an older brother, perhaps bringing William with him as a lad, for William does not take the oath of allegiance until 1654. Or perhaps William may have followed John a little later; possibly one or both "were adventure rs" in a company brought over by Mr. Allerton. About these things, however, we can only conjecture. Of the traditions that come from more or less widely separated branches of the family,nearly all agree that there were "brothers" who came to thi s country,but differ as to the number, whether two or three, though all agree that one settled in Connecticut.
There were Prindles and Pringles in several of the colonies, but they were probably later emigrations from England and Scotland. In the old country they were most numerous in the border counties of Northumberland in England, and Roxburgh in Scot land, the earliest records of Pringles being found at the latter place.
