William MATTACOTT
Set As Default Person -
Name William MATTACOTT Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1724 Sampford Spiney, Devon, England
- Est 1730 based on date of marriage
There were a number of Williams who could theoretically have been this one, my 6xgt grandfather, but the most likely seems to be the one baptised in Sampford Spiney in 1724. Not only was it where the evidence points to William having spent most of his life, but the father of the Wm baptised in 1724 was Bartholomew, the name Wm gave to his first-born.
Baptised 28 Mar 1724 St. Mary’s Church, Sampford Spiney, Devon, England
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 20 Aug 2012):
William the Sone of Bartholamie Matticott & Elizabeth his Wife Was baptised the 28th day of March 1724"
Gender Male Died Jun 1810 Sampford Spiney, Devon, England
- (assumed from burial)
Buried 15 Jun 1810 St. Mary’s Church, Sampford Spiney, Devon, England
- From image on FMP, viewed 18 Aug 2012:
"1810 William Matticott was Buried the 15th of June" - I think this Wm rather than his son because it's the only burial of a Wm in Sampford Spiney to fit.

- Only seen in DFHS and Dartmoor Press indexes so far (would expect to be on FMP in Plymouth and West Devon collection - presumably not yet indexed - 18 Aug 2012)
Clearly Joan's surname is hard to read (or missing) in the marriage PR entry.
