extracted from http://www.getchell.info/history/england.html " Samuel Gatchell/Getchells wife Dorcas Woodin was probably born in England, too. Salisbury, Massachusetts records show activity for John Woodin, who was from England, and possibly the brother to Dorcas. Some researchers have speculated that the spelling of her last name was Wooden, but early Salisbury/Amesbury records only show Woodin, not Wooden. The same records show various spellings for Sam Gatchell/Getchell: five instances of Getchell, one of Gatchell (Sam II) and one of Gechel."
