KULAPPURATH / AIKANAMADATHIL FAMILY

The present Aikkanamadathil branch of Mutholath family is the descendents of Kunjukurian, the elder son
of Kuriakko Mutholath. Their original family name was Kulappurath because Mr. Kunjukurian first settled in
Kulappurath property.

Kunjukurian was born as the elder son of Kuriakko Mutholath. He was healthy and efficient. He had two sons
and four daughters. His eldest daughter was married in Neerikkad, The second daughter was married in Pazha-
yampallil family in Padinjattinkara. The third daughter was married in Ettumanoor. The fourth daughter was
married in Chelamalayil family at Kidangoor.

After the wedding of his daughters, Kunjukurian became economically weak. He died before becoming too
old. His wife died later.

Kunjukurian's sons were known as Kuriakko and Ummachan. Kuriakko, the elder son was more prominant.
Kuriakko and Ummachan lived in two houses built in the northern and southern part of Kulappurath property
that their father had inherited. So their family name was Kulappurath.

Later both of them sold their house and land and purchased Aikkanamadathil property that is north of Kulap-
purath property. They lived in separate houses there. When they sold the Kulappurath property, Mutholath
Kuriakko bought the southern part of Kulappurath property and Madathil Thommy bought the northern part.

because he fell down by accident from a Jackfruit tree. The second son Oonankochu was married but had no
children. He died at an younger age because of his sickness.

Kuriakko lived till the age of 65. Since his sons died and because he had debts, he sold his portion of Aikkana-
