Johannes apparently changed his name to John Axtell and had a family. Silas B. Axtell describes this connection in a 1952 speech he gave at a family reunion, The Axtell Heritage. He also speculates abouta possible connection back to 1327. The speech says that the monk wasWilliam's father, but the dates are too spread out for that scenario to be reasonable. Dean C. Axtell stopped in at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City (1995). According to their files, William Axtellwas born in 1587 and his father, John Axstyl, was born 1561. The monksigned the deed in 1534, so maybe the monk was William's great-grandfather." <ref>Source S1</ref> == Sources ==P1.

He was the son of William and Thomasine Axtell.<ref name="Axtell" >Axtell, Carson Augustus ''[[Space:Axtell Genealogy|Axtell Genealogy]]'' (Axtell, New Bedford,Massachusetts, 1945)</ref> He married about 1638 Mary Unknown.<ref name="Axtell" /> Axtell family researchers make a good case for why her maiden name was NOT Starr.<ref>[http://www.axtellfamily.org/axgenea/axcheney.html Marilyn Axtell Cheney, "A Myth Put to Rest"] (1988)</ref> ::Other sources state he married Mary Rice and that upon landing, purchased land for Mary's kin Edward Rice who arrived in the New World five years earlier.<ref name="Axtell" /> Two children were born to them in England, and their baptism is recorded in St. Peter's, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.<ref name="Axtell" /> In October 1643, Thomas purchased five acres of land in Sudbury, Massachusetts, of Edmond Rice, who came from Berkhamstead also. This land is described as "lying in ye south part of ye town-bounds, the southwest side lying to the commons and joined to the land of Edmond Rice, southward and northward to the highway leading from Sudbury to Mr. Duston's farm."

He was a widower with a boy of eight.<ref name="Axtell" /> After Thomas death, Edmond Rice bought back the land, six acres, and dwelling house near the spring.<ref name="Axtell" /> The Axtell Genalogy speculates thus: "The story told in those words is short, indeed, but we are permitted to see what it stands for. The young Englishman was a soldier or at least trained to arms; he was of strong puritanical leanings, like his brother Daniel the regicide. Withhis wife and two little ones he followed his neighbor across the sea to make his home in a frontier settlement of New England.
