One of this couple's children might have been Garben of Tillek, a member of the Tillek Bloodline through lateral descent, who wanted to marry Nerilka of Fort.

J-1

Lord Melongel was the ideal Lord Holder for the main Fishhold, he had even qualified for his captaincy but had never taken a command. He thoroughly understood the needs of that Craft as well as the agriculture and forestry that made Tillek a profitable Hold. He was a fair Holder if ever there was one [MHoP]. According to the Hold harper Minnarden, the Lord Holder was also a well-read man [MHoP]. He died of a fever, which was a result of braking almost every bone in his body after a fall from a runnerbeast. It was strongly suspected (but not proven) that the fall was not an accident and that Fax or his men had been behind it (having given the runnerbeast lur-weed to eat) [MHoP].
Melongel met his wife, a major Holder’s daughter, when on a cruise around the Southern Sea to Nerat. He espoused her, and carried her back to his Hold. Masterharper Robinton heard him call it "the most profitable journey" he'd ever made [MHoP].
Lord Melongel and Lady Juvana had nine children, the middle children of which were part of Robinton's chorus group when he was posted at Tillek [MHoP].
At the time he was still the prospective Lord Holder, Groghe of Fort Hold spent a Turn stewarding for Lord Melongel at Tillek Hold [MHoP].
Lady Juvana "spent a Turn" with Lady Evelene of High Reaches Hold, which probably means she was fostered at High Reaches in her youth [MHoP].

N.N.

J-11

Lord Oterel was confirmed as Lord Holder of Tillek in 2485, at a conclave following his father’s funeral [MHoP].  Of Lord Oterel and his wife only the three sons mentioned below are known; they probably had only these three since they are mentioned separately as the oldest (Blesserel), middle (Terentel) and youngest (Ranrel) sons in All the Weyrs of Pern [AtWoP]. There might, and will probably have been daughters too, of course, but no mention is made of them.

J-111

Blesserel was Lord Oterel’s first born son [AtWoP/9:192]. He and Esrella had four fine strong sons [AtWoP/202].

J-113

Ranrel was Lord Oterel’s youngest son [AtWoP/9:192]. He is probably born not too long before 2500 since Warder Brand of Ruatha Hold remarks to Lord Jaxom that it is good that , after Ranrel's confirmation, Jaxom (born 2505) now has another Holder nearer his own age [AtWoP/10:225]. Ranrel and his wife had five children [AtWoP/141].
