There are six David Mandevilles in my husband's genealogy, none of whom married a Hester, but Hester is one of the family names, (his grandmother had a sister named Hester) so we're probably on the same track. More investigation will probably uncover the link -- as I said, I've just started on his ancestry, and the only reason I have this much material is that a cousin started research before I did.
The population pool was quite limited at the time I'm researching, so I'm not surprised to find the same surnames up and down the line. Often the only candidates for marriage were cousins of some sort.
