Notes

From Descendants of Reverend Samuel Panckhurst

The Pancoasts are of English origin, coming to America from Northamptonshire. Pancoast, the present spelling, was used by John in 1676 when he signed the "Consessions and Agreements". However, John brought with him in 1680 a certificate from Friends in England wherein his name was spelled Panckhurst. This supports the idea that our 'Pancoast' spelling was adopted by John and explains why 'Pancoast' is not found as a family name in England.
