Thomas appears to have been the only son of Thomas Pinsent by his wife Mary (née Knott). He was born in Tiverton in 1738 and married Anne Wright in Whimple in Devon in 1768. They had at least two sons, James Pinsent in 1769 and Benjamin Pinsent in 1776.
Thomas was a “carpenter” and probably also a “cabinetmaker.” He took Humphrey Dunster on as his apprentice in 1777, and similarly acquired Fras. Sealy in 1791 (U.K. Register of Duties Paid for Apprentices’ Indentures: 1910-1811). His elder son, James, stayed on in Tiverton; however, his younger son, Benjamin, went up to London where he married and established a major subsidiary branch of the family.
Anne (née Wright) died in Tiverton in 1815 and Thomas Pinsent died there a decade later, in 1825.
