"The following ancestry was taken from TAG 17:136.
1. ___ Sampson - He was bu. Hawkchurch, Dorset (8 miles NE of Colyton). He m. Johan ___ who left a will dated 26 Dec. 1553.
Abstract of Will of Joan Sampson of Hawkchurch dated 26 Dec. 1553. proved 31 Jan. 1553/4 (PCC 25 Tashe)
To be buried in Hawkchurch Church near my late husband.
Eldest son, Robert Sampson and his children.
Son, William Sampson, his wife Edith and children.
Son, Walter Sampson, my house and ground at Deepmorsland.
Margaret Sampson, dau. of my son Walter Sampson.
Dau., Elizabeth Byer, her husband Henry Byer and her five children.
Son, George Sampson.
Dau., Margery Sampson.
Son, Thomas Sampson
Children of my son Nicholas Sampson.
Executors: My children Thomas, John and Margery Sampson.
Witnesses: John Purches parson of Hawkechurch and Walter Sampson of same.
According to TAG 17:137, John Insley Coddington says Agnes Sampson (who m. Robert Dolbiar) was almost certainly a dau. of Nicholas Sampson of Hawkchurch, several of whose children were married at Colyton. The Hawkchurch Parish Register only begins 1663, so that it has not yet been possible to prove this connection, with absolute certainty, but there is much circumstantial evidence in favor of this hypothesis.
2. Nicholas Sampson of Hawkchurch, Devon, which was in Dorset until 1886.
3. Agnes Sampson - She m. Robert Dolbiar, 26 Apr. 1563. Colyton, Devon. See Dolbiar family above."
4. The publication "Search for the Passengers of the "Mary & John" 1630," by Burton W. Spear (Toledo, OH; The Mary & John Clearing House, 1989-2004), 18:63-64, "Ancestry of Mary Dolbiar (1607-1685) wife of Jonathan Gillett":
"Mary Dolbiar, was bpt. 7 June 1607, Colyton, Devon. She d. 5 Jan. 1685, Windsor, CT. She m. Jonathan Gillett, 29 Mar. 1633/4, Colyton, two days before they sailed to New England from Weymouth, Dorset, on the "Recovery of London". Since Colyton is about 30 miles west of Weymouth, maybe this ship made a stop at Plymouth, Devon (as did the "Mary & John" in 1630), 60 miles W. of Colyton and they boarded a week or so later. She was the dau. of Rawkey Dolbiar and Mary Michell. NOTE: All Dolbiar baptism, marriage and burial entries in the Colyton, Devon Parish Registers (1538-1630) appear in TAG 15: 212-213.
