Stratton, on page 338 of History of the Town of Isle la Motte, Vermont, states that Mehitable was the daughter of David and Mary (Griffin) Winchell of Wethersfield, CT.

Though Mehitable may have been related to Govenor Winchell of CT, this account of her parents is most likely incorrect.

First, David Winchell did not marry (2) Mary Griffin. She married (1) Samuel Wilson, (2) Anthony Hoskins. All of David's offspring are of (1) Elizabeth Filley. Mrs. Albert H. Chase, in her article "David Winchell (Robert1) of Suffield, Conn.," TAG 24:1, pp49-50, provides the evidence needed to remove this claim and state that "David Winchell had but one wife, elizabeth Filley, whom he married 17 November 1669, the mother of his children."
