Christian Theodor von Pincier
Captain Christian Theodor von Pincier, later known as Theodore Pincier, Esquire, or as Theodore de Pencier〔https://archive.org/stream/ontarianfamilie00chadgoog#page/n182/mode/2up〕 (1750, Brunswick - 1824, Canada), was a Hessian auxiliary officer who served on the British side during the American Revolution. Following the peace treaty, he became a settler and well-known surveyor in colonial British Quebec.〔The American Revolution, Garrison Life in French Canada and New York: Journal of an officer in the Prinz Friedrich Regiment, 1776-1783, By Julius Friedrich von Hille, Mary C. Lynn, p. 56〕 He was apparently an illegitimate son of Charles I, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel,〔The American Revolution, Garrison Life in French Canada and New York: Journal of an officer in the Prinz Friedrich Regiment, 1776-1783, By Julius Friedrich von Hille, Mary C. Lynn, p. 56〕 who was adopted into the Pincier von Königstein family, known as von Pincier in German and Swedish, or de Pincier in French. They were members of the Swedish nobility.
Throughout his military career in German-speaking regiments, he used the surname von Pincier, but, later, in Canada, he adopted a French version of his surname, altering the spelling to de Pencier.
He left many descendants in Canada. Some became prominent: and include an Anglican archbishop, ''The Most Rev. Dr'' Adam de Pencier, and that prelate's grandson, Michael de Pencier, a decorated Canadian publisher, entrepreneur, and environmental conservationist. Family members continue to spell the surname, de Pencier or dePencier.
==Birth==
The child, Christian Theodor (Braunschweig 1750– 1824), was born out of wedlock as the only illegitimate child of Charles I, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, and married Frenchwoman. His mother’s husband, a French grenadier captain named de Martigny, later killed himself, perhaps out of jealousy.〔The American Revolution, Garrison Life in French Canada and New York: Journal of an officer in the Prinz Friedrich Regiment, 1776-1783, By Julius Friedrich von Hille, Mary C. Lynn, p. 56〕 Widowed, she remarried to a Franco-Swedish nobleman belonging to the family of Pincier von Königstein. Christian Theodor was never recognized by his father, and, instead, was adopted by his mother's husband, Georges-Henri de Pincier, a descendant of Baron Pincier (#109), whose family had received their patent of nobility in Stockholm from Charles XII of Sweden in 1698. From this step-father, young Christian Theodor gained the surname which he bore. He was to use it for the rest of his life prefixed by one or other of the German or French noble particles ''von'' or ''de'' as the situation warranted. This was a common practice of the time among the nobility, who alternated between German and French custom, as they moved about Western Europe during their careers and travels.
