Family Elizabeth JUSTHAM, b. 1739, Buckland Monachorum, Devon, England 
, d. Abt Jan 1815, Buckland Monachorum, Devon, England (Age 76 years)
Other Partners: Richard ? PIKE ?Married 24 Apr 1769 St. Mary’s Church, Sampford Spiney, Devon, England - From DFHS index of PR entries (on FMP, viewed 1 May 2013) and on Dartmoor Press (DP) CD
Merefield, Peter to Jutsham, Elizabeth; DP info shows both were sojourners of the parish rather than longer-term residents.
Not only was Justham (including variants) not a common surname, but the burial of an 'Elizabeth Merrifield' back in Buckland Monachorum ties in with this Elizabeth (she was the right age, and living in the same part of the parish as her son and grandson lived in), adding weight to my suggestion that this was her marriage.
The marriage register for marriages 1754-1812 is not available on FMP. The BT entry can be seen on FamilySearch:
"Peter merefield and Elizabeth Jutsham both sojourners were married in this Church by Banns the 24th day of April 1769"
No children found of this marriage - looking at baptisms in Devon, surname beginning Mer*, as on FMP on 1 May 2013. Also none on DP 'M' CD.
