This couple's names have had various spellings eg Colan Colen
Mariana Marinea Tippitt Teppit.
Mylor is about 4 miles N of Falmouth and about 20 miles SSE of St
Columb
Madron is twenty miles to the west, nearly to Lands End
We were quite perplexed by
the unusual name Colon. It turns out Colon's maternal grandfather
is Colan Bettison. His grandfather is Colan Bettison and his
grandfather is Colan Bettenson (b 1637)
This early Colan was living in St Columb Minor, about two miles
from the Colan parish church. One of his sons (Francis) was
baptised in the Colan church. We visited Colan in 2008. there is
no village - just the church and a large farmhouse complex. The
church was renovated in the 1890s. It is a charming church. It and
the grounds obviously well cared for. Google it.

Susan Old, the Online Parish Clerk for St Columb Major supplied a
wonderful response to a query on Colen's baptism. She added three
generations back, for someone who had been a very murky figure to
us.
