      1. The publication "Search for the Passengers of the "Mary & John" 1630," by Burton W. Spear (Toledo, OH; The Mary & John Clearing House, 1989-2004), 2:84-85 [the same exact article was repeated verbatim in 3:18-19]:
      "Jonathan Gillett returned to England and married Mary Dolbiar, in Colyton, Devon on 29 Mar. 1634. He remained in England one year after their marriage and then they sailed to New England on the ship, "Recovery of London", which sailed from Weymouth, England on 31 Mar. 1635. How he met a girl from Colyton is not known. However, the "Mary & John" passenger, George Hull of Crewkerne, had two brothers who were ministers at Colyton, the last being, Rev. William Hill, who died there in 1627.

      "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.
