Captain Christian Theodor von Pincier, later known as Theodore Pincier, Esquire, or as Theodore de Pencier (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. He was apparently an illegitimate son of Charles I, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, who was adopted into the family, known as von Pincier in German and Swedish, or de Pincier in French. They were members of the Swedish nobility.

| - Captain Christian Theodor von Pincier, later known as Theodore Pincier, Esquire, or as Theodore de Pencier (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. He was apparently an illegitimate son of Charles I, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, who was adopted into the 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. (en)
