There were two William Twynings in Painswick in the late 16th/early 17th centuries who were having children at the same time. At this point I have not located any probate or other records that help sort this out. One William was the son of Harry and the other the son of Thomas. There is a William, son of John, who was baptised in 1587 who may be the immigrant, however, this seems unlikely as our William was most likely much younger than this.

William was undoubtedly in Yarmouth in 1641 at the time of his daughter's marriage, however, he is not mentioned in the records until 1643 when "Willm Twyneing" is in the "list of those able to bear arms" in Yarmouth as part of the town's militia. In 1645 he was one of the soldiers sent out to fight the Naragansetts who where the enemies of the local native peoples. About this time her moved to Nauset or Eastham where he was the constable 5 June 1651. Rev. John Mayo was the first minister there in 1646 [q.v.] and all persons who stood outside of the meeting house during public service were to be set in the stocks! William, or his son, was admitted a freeman on 3 June 1652. on 13 May 1654 he was granted two acres of meadow at Great Namshaket, and also had grants at Rock Harbor and Poche.

William is first mentioned in 1652 when he was a member of the Grand Jury. He was again on the jury in 1667 and in 1671. On 5 Apr. 1669 William and Elizabeth Twining, Stephen Snow, Susanna Snow and Meriam Dean sold land to Peter Warden. The deed was witnessed by Josiah Cooke and Nicholas Snow. (2) He was a deacon in the Eastham church and is mentioned as early as 26 Feb. 1677 as "Deacon Twining" and as late as 1681. He and his son William are listed as voters of Eastham in 1695.

About 1695 William's religious views changed to embrace those of the Friends and he and his family moved to Newtown, PA to escape Puritan New England. William's name appears in the Middletown Friend's Monthly Meeting in 1699 along with Stephen's concerning testimony against selling rum or strong drink to the Indians.(3)

"I, William Twining, of Newtown, in the county of Bucks, and the province of Pennsylvania, having taken into consideration the frailty of this temporal life, being in health of body & of sound and perfect mind and memory, praise be therefore given to Almighty God, do make & ordain this my present last will & testament, in manner and form following (that is to say):
