  	Address: St. Andrew's Church
  	The Parish Register of St. Andrew's Church at Colyton, co. Devon, contains the following marriage record: 1634 Jonathan Gillett and Mary Dolbiar, 29 March. This is the answer to the question of the long-sought identity of Mary, wife of Jonathan Gillett, the emigrant from England to Dorchester, Mass., and settler at Windsor, Conn. ++++++++++ The career of Jonathan Gillett was somewhat more complicated. He came to New England as a bachelor in 1630, but not long thereafter he must have returned to England for a short stay, during which he was married. The wedding took place at Colyton, co. Devon, 29 March 1634, and the bride was Mary Dolbere or Dolbiar, who was baptized at Colyton 7 June 1607. She was the daughter of Rawkey, Rockye, Rokey, Rokie, Rokye or Roehee Dolbere or Dolbiar, yeoman, of the hamlet of Cadhayne in the parish of Colyton, and of Mary (Michell or Mychell) his wife. It is interesting to speculate whether Jonathan and Mary were betrothed before Jonathan's first trip to America, or whether the marriage in 1634 was arranged on the spur of the moment. At all events, the bride and groom sailed for New England soon after the wedding.
