Devonshire is that part of England that juts out on southwest lower England. That's where the Channon family lived in the sixteenth century. Thomasine married Frances Matthews there in 1622, had a few children, then they came to New England.
Thomasine was perhaps the daughter of Henry and Johan Drewe Channon. Thomasine seemed to be a family name as there are others with her name in Devonshire records. Although her husband Frances is in New England records, I haven't been able to find his parents in Devonshire. His last name sometimes is referred to as "Mathes."
Thomasine and Frances lived in southwest Maine and southeast New Hampshire. They had several more children, including grandpa Walter who became a constable at Isle of Shoals. Walter's daughter married into the Rowland Young family.
Frances died in 1648 but Thomasine lived into old age and died in 1690.
