      2. The publication "Search for the Passengers of the "Mary & John" 1630," by Burton W. Spear (Toledo, OH; The Mary & John Clearing House, 1989-2004), 18:64-65, "Ancestry of Mary Mychell, Mother of Mary Dolbiar":
      "The following ancestry taken from TAG 15:216 lists Mychell entries in the Colyton Parish Registers: baptisms (1538-1600), marriages (1538-1620) and burials (1538-1600). The pedigree of John Mychell below is difficult to compile for earlier generations because there were so many John Mychells in Colyton. Even the pedigree below is tentative.
      In the 16th century there was a Michell family in Stockland, Dorset (now Devon, 8 mi. N of Colyton), and they were no doubt related to the Michells of Colyton. In the will of John Mychell of Stockland dated 28 Mar. 1574 and proved 17 May 1574 (PCC 21 Martyn) one of the overseers was John Mychell of Colyton. This may have been the John Mychell below, who m. Emilyn Weeks in 1569. Also, George Hull of Crewkerne, Somerset m. Thomasine Mitchell 27 Aug. 1614 at Crewkerne, daughter of Robert Mitchell of Stockland. This Robert Mitchell may be the one listed as the son of James Michell in the will of John Davies of Stockland dated 10 July 1588 and proved 29 Oct. 1589 (PCC 81 Leicester). George Hull, like Jonathan Gillett, came to Dorchester, MA in 1630 or a few years later.
      1. John Mychell - He possibly m. Agnes Vye, 5 Oct. 1539, Colyton, dau. of Harry Vye of Cadhayne. John lived in Rawkerayne, Colyton. Between 1541 and 1556 there are eight children baptised in Colyton with the father listed as John Mychell the elder, John Mychell the younger or just John Mychell, all of Rawkerayne.
      2. John Mychell - Bpt. before 1538 or 26 Sept. 1541 or 19 Mar. 1544/5, Colyton. Bu. 2 June 1620 Colyton as "John Michell of Barretshaies". He Emlyn Weeke, 26 Nov. 1569, Colyton, formerly of Gittisham, Devon. She was bu. 30 Aug. 1628, Colyton. They lived first at Cadhayne (where the Vye family lived). For a while he occupied the farm of Michinholme, near Cadhayne. In 1605 this farm was occupied by John Michell's son-in7law, Rawkey Dolbiar, whose dau. Anne, was born in that year. John Mychell was a churchwarden in Colyton in 1596. Children (Bpt. Colyton):
      a. Joan Michell - Bpt. 8 Apr. 1571. She m. William Starr of Seaton, 20 Feb. 1597/8 Colyton, son of John Starr of Horriford in Seaton, Devon.
      b. John Michell - Bpt. 15 Nov. 1573.
