Note: 3 9 4 8 8 10 11 7 7 12 4 Name appears as Menchel, Minshal, Mentiale and frequently as Mitchell. Before 1645 Immigrated to Virginia 10/1651 In Northampton County, Virginia 10/1651 Living in Northampton Co, VA.(10349) Jeffrey was named in a deed in 12 Apr 1666 in Somerset Co, MD.(10350) 4/1/1666 Judgment 7/2/1666 Registered cattle mark 4/12/1666 Entered rights for land in Somerset Co, Maryland (viz Jeffrey, Frances, Mary, Anne, Jane, Jeffrey, Randall and Wm COLETT, his servant). Patented on these "rights" 400 acres at head Morumsco Branch By 9/17/1666 Immigrated to Province of Maryland with wife & 5 children. He was assigned 400 acres called "Adventure", lying at the head of Morumsco in Somerset Counrty. 9/17/1666 Maryland Patent Book 10, pp 133-134, Jefry MENTIALE of our Province of Maryl'd, planter, hath due unto him 400 acres of land within our said province for transporting himself, Francis MENTIALE, Mary MENTIALE, Ann MENTIALE, Jane MENTIALE, his daughters, Jeffry and Randolph his sones and William COLLET his servant higher to inhabite as appears upon Record ... doe herby grant ... Jeffry MENTIALE a parcell of land called Adventure, lying at the head of Marrumsco 400 Acres, Quick Rent 8, MINSHALL's ADVENTURE, Surveyed 6/16/1667 Surveyed for Jeffry MINSHALL, lying on the west side of Dividng Creek near the head thereof, Phillip LINES claims the line but lies within other surveys. According to Torrence, Jeffrey MINSHALL (d. 1675), of Northampton Co, VA, and Somerset Co, MD, no doubt derived descent from the MINSHULL, or MINSHALL, family of Cheshire and Devonshire, England, though as yet the connection has not been worked out and proved. The Visitation of Devonshire, 1620 (Harlein Soc. Pubs., VI, p. 184) gives a MINSHULL pedigree in which the names "Jefferie" and "Geoffrey" and "Randall" appear. The first edition of "The Boston Family of Maryland" by Matthew M. Wise, indicated that Jeffery was the son of a Richard MINSHALL and was baptised at Wistaston, County Chester, England, 26 Mar 1621. However, in Wise's second edition, he indicated that was a different Jeffery MINSHALL and that the pedigree of this Jeffery MINSHALL is still in question. He came to Virginia before 1645, when he was mentioned in a Northampton Co court record, and by 17 Sep 1666, with his wife and five children, had immigrated to Maryland where, on that date, he was assigned 400 acres called Adventure, lying at the head of Marumsco Creek in Somerset Co. "Jeffry MENTIALE" (Jeffery MINSHALL, Sr.) entered rights for land in Somerset Co, MD, 12 Apr 1666, viz: Jeffrey and Frances (evidently himself and his wife), Mary, Anne and Jane, his daughters; Jeffrey and Randall, his sons; and Wm. COLLETT, his servant. Jeffry MENTIALE patented (on these rights) 400 acres of land at the head of Morummsco Branch.
