1. Mathen Cherian - Thazhethil Puthen Veedu(Randumaavilayil).
Mathen Cherian the eldest son of Cherian Mathen got married from Kalluvilayathil family, Mannadi. He built a house of his own for shifting his residence from the central family(Thazhethil). The house thus put up was in a plot covering
one and a half acres, just to the north of the Thazhethil house at a distance of 200 meters - some paddy fields now lay between the old
house and the new.As the new house compound had two gigantic mango trees, the house was called 'RANDUMAVILAYIL', indicating the
presence of twin mando trees. But in official correspondence it was known as the 'Thazhethil Puthen Veedu'. The new house was
spacious and well built in accordance to Vaasthuvidya, with a padippura or kottiyambalam in the front, surrounded by a compound
wall of laterite.
Mathen Cherian had five sons and two daughters. Of the two daughters, Annamma was first married to Panjippullumvilayil, Thevalakkara,
and consequent of the demise of the husband she was married to Mavelil family, Ranni. The other daughter, Aleyamma, was married to
the Karipottu family of Thevalakkara.
Of the five sons of Mathen Cherian, the four elder ones found it a hobby in addition to their farming work to go out for hunting and
fishing occassionally. During one of the 'Edavapathy' monsoon season when it rained hard and long and the rivers became swollen, these
four brothers set out in company along with their usual followers fully equipped with the necessary fishing materials. Within half
an hour they reached Kunnathur ferry, where they stopped for fishing. There they cast their nets into the deep waters for a test trial
and the catch was ample fish of various kinds, beyond their expectations. As it was encouraging, they carried on till very late at
night and they turned weak and weary and the wet and chill got the better of them - they caught what turned out to be Typhoid fever.
The unconscious brothers, some say, were taken back to their home in bullock carts; they died in 1065 M.E. and were buried in the
cemetry of the old St. Thomas Church at Kadampanad. All four were married and had no issues. They had married from Mulayakkonathu-
Chenkulam, Adnagappurathu-Thalavadi, Vadakkadathu - Omalloor and Unniyakkottu - Maranad.
