The Pinson family is of Spanish origin. Some of the American Pinsons came direct to the new world from Spain and settled mainly in Texas and Florida. The South Carolina branch of the family came from Holland, France, and England, but they were all members of the Spanish family of Pinzon. From Spain these Pinzons migrated to Holland, France and England and in the latter country particularly the Pinzons became sailors and explorers and sailed the seven seas, restless as the wind.

Martin, as the commander of the Pinta, was made famous by his disobedience, having abandoned Columbus in the Antilles for six weeks, most likely to explore for himself the whereabouts of the gold and spices they sought.
