II. 4. Cherian Puthen Purackel (CHERIAN VALLIAPPAN)
Judge Grandpa s third son, Cherian was born in 1815 (ME 990 Makaram 9). Among all the children of Judge Grandpa, it was Cherian who ably carried on the legacy of his illustrious father. He managed the agricultural properties of his father very efficiently and increased the wealth and assets he inherited. Even the majestic palanquins in which he traveled were famous in those days. He had workers and associates from all castes and religious communities and he was a great philanthropist and community leader.
There is an old saying in our family that like Levi, the 3rd son of Jacob in the Old Testament, Cherian, the 3rd son of Judge Grandpa, became the ancestor of all future priests and bishops in the Poothicote family.
After the death of his father, Cherian gave leadership for his brothers to realize final wish of his father to build a church in Mepral. He and his brother Kunjachonda Medayil donated the land to build the Mepral St. John's Church.
Cherian s first marriage was to Annamma from the famous Syrian Christian family of Adoor Nellimootil Thekeveetil. Annamma s brother Ponnu Oommachen was gold and diamond merchant and had extensive trade with Arab countries. He was a close confidant of the Maha Raja of Travancore.
After giving birth to a daughter Annamma, and 4 sons, Moothakunju, Mathukunju, Rev. Cherian Thomas, and Chackochen, Annamma died.
Annamma's brother, Ponnu Oommachen went in a trading ship for business abroad and he never returned. It was believed that some ship wreck or some other calamity happened.
Oommachen s wife Mariamma waited for several years hoping for her husband s return. According to the canon laws of the Church, if a person is missing for 7 years in the seas, and no news about him is there, he is considered dead. With the permission of the Church and the metropolitan, Cherian Valliappan married Mariamma, the widow of his brother-in-law after the death of his first wife.
After the birth of a son and a daughter, Kunjaccamma, and son, Gheevareechen, Mariamma also died.
After her death, Cherian Valliappan married another Mariamma from Puthencavil Puthenpurackel family. 2 youngest children, Cheriachen and Kunjummen were born in this third marriage.

Pappiyamma Akkara
Children: IV 1. Kunjupennu

4. Papachen (P.G. Cherian)
Gheevarugheechen and his sister were born to the 2nd wife of Cherian Valliappan Mariamma, who the widow of Ponnu Oommachen Muthalali of the Nellimootil family. Oommachen Muthalali sister was the first wife of Cheriachen Valliappan.
Oommachen Muthalali was lost in a possible ship wreck and no news about him was available for more than 7 years.
In the meantime, her husband s business partner, Nattukotta Chettiar tried to acquire all his partners wealth by dubious means. Mariamma bravely and astutely resisted Chettiar s attempts.
There is an interesting story of how Mariamma cleverly defeated the Chettiar bribed the local government officer- thahasildar- and came with him to Mariamma s house to recover gold which Chettiar claimed was his. Mariamma with the help of her devoted servant, made hole in the floor in one of her rooms and buried all the gold in it. When Thahasildar and the Chettiar arrived, Mariamma got on to a pettukattil- the low height bed the women used in those days to deliver babies- and pretended that she was having severe abdominal pain. The bed was just above where gold was buried and she also had a Naripodu- wood burning vessel- over it. Thahasildar and Chettiar searched every place except where the gold that was buried and they found nothing. Before they left, Mariamma secretly intimated the thahasildar to come at night and search her well. Mariamma made sure that a gold plate was secretly left in the well. At night Thahasildar came and took the gold plate for himself and he no more bothered Mariamma.
According to the custom in those days, if a husband disappeared for more than 7 years and there was no news about him, he could be presumed dead and his wife could remarry. There was no news about Ponnu Oommachen for more than 7 years. By this time Cherian Puthen Purackel also had become a widower. So with the permission of the Church and the Malankara Metropolitan, Cherian married Mariamma, the widow of his brother-in-law Oommachen. This Mariamma was a descendent of Middle Eastern immigrants who came to Quilon, Kerala in 825 AD with Bishop Mor Proth and Mor Sabor. There are many who believe that the Malayalam era was started in AD 825 to commemorate their arrival in Kollam.
Mariamma was very beautiful and intelligent. She brought all the wealth of her former husband to Mepral. She divided it in to 2 equal shares; one half of the share was given to her son Gheevareechen and the other half of the share to the 4 sons of husband by previous marriage. Mariamma died when he r children were 5 and 3 years old.
Judge Great grandpa sent Gheevarugheechen and his 2 younger brothers for English education in Kochi British grammar school. He rented a house in Fort Cochin for his children and sent servants to take care of them.
After the schooling, Gheevarugheechen married Akkara Kurian writer s daughter Pappiyamma. About this wedding, in the Akkara family history, it is written that it was one of the most elegant wedding of the time. Many VIP guests including the British Resident representing English government and Kings special representatives were present for the wedding.
Gheevarugheechen was appointed as sub-registrar by the government and he held the job in Thiruvella for few years. In 1885, he built a house in Payikandom and moved there.
IV. 1. Kunjupennu, the eldest daughter of Gheevarugheechen was married to Korakunju of Kottayam Kallupurackel family. Philipose Mor Theophilose of the Malankara Orthodox Church was one the children in this marriage.
After retiring from his job as sub-registrar, Gheevarugheechen was taking care of his agricultural properties and he died in 1893 (M.E. Kumbham 11). Wife Pappiyamma had died 2 days earlier.
