About Ann Mighill

Birth and Baptism
The most likely baptismal record found so far is on 14 Nov 1620 with both parents, Francis and Faith listed original image[1]

Her known brother Francis Parratt, emigrant, appears in the same location with the same father and a baptismal date of 25 May 1616.[2].

Her sisters Faith and Joan appear in the same parish registers (see their profiles for sourcing). The baptismal records of these children list both parents, Francis and Faithe. A review of the registers of Melton-Ross back to 1599 does not show a marriage record for the parents but many of the records are damaged and unreadable in that section.

It is most likely that her mother was the Faith Parratt, wife of Francis who was buried on 15 Jul 1628 about 25 miles from Melton-Ross at Bishop Norton, Lincolnshire.[3] Since a Francis Parratt married a "Dasbera Westobie" (Deborah?) on 15 Feb 1629 in Melton-Ross, that may have been a second marriage for her father but this is speculative.[4]

A Richard Parratt was having children baptized at Melton-Ross at about the same time so was likely a relative.

Emigration
Ann Parrat came to Massachusetts Bay Colony from England with her brother Francis Parrat and her sister Faith Parrat Smith in 1638 with the Reverend Ezekiel Rogers. [5]

Marriage and Children
Ann Parrat and Thomas Mighill married after the death then burial of Thomas's first wife, Ellen Unknown Mighill on the 12th day of the 5th month of 1640. [5]
