Michells in Cornwall

My great grandmother was Amelia Michell, first headmistress of the Dartmouth Board School for Girls in Devon, UK around 1870 or so.
She was born, I think, in Cornwall around 1838, and was married to Leonard Goodman (LG)Hockin (or Hocking) born in Phillack Cornwall in 1844 and who died in Dorset in 1922. She survived LG. According to family records I have she had relations in Pennsylvania (W.P. Michell of Warren, Warren County,PA) and also I think in California (Tommy or Jimmy of Winthrop Road, San Marino). These locations would have dated from around the 1900s.
Family legend has that she was partially of French origin, although Michell is a common Cornish spelling of Mitchell. Any US descendents out there?
