First wife was Elizabeth. Second wife was Judith Ytie Jans

November 25, 1658 John Parcell, alias Borcher, of Huntingdonshire, England for living in adultery with Ytie Jans, to be placed at the whipping post with two rods in his arms, to be banished for 20 years, and pay a fine of 100 guilders ($40), with costs.

A petition submitted to the Council on December 12, 1658 by John Parcell and Ytie Jans, two sorrowful sinners, ask for pardon and leave to marry. The Council allowed them to remain three months to settle their affairs, but must separate from each other at once. Official records become strangely silent at this point, but Jan must have found a way to marry Ytie, since a wife by that name survived him and was his widow in 1684. They provided a home for their children from previous marriages and at least two of their own.

On June 13, 1674, Ytie was named as a sponsor at the baptism of Catharine, daughter of son Hans. Jan Parcell died in 1677, his will proved on September 28 of that year. Ytie, along with step-sons John and Thomas Parcell, appear on the rate list of Newtown in 1683. In March 1684 she petitioned the Council concerning a dispute over lands near Gravesend - the last time her name appears in the public records.
