James PEPPERELL
Set As Default Person -
Name James PEPPERELL Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1769 - From age in burial register. Being a round figure (80) may indicate the informant wasn't sure and was giving an approximate age.
No sign of a James Pepperell, Pipperell etc. in FMP index (1769 +/- 5 years) or on SouthHams website, anytime close to 1769). Maybe non-conformist baptism OR gap in a register OR not in a PR OR born with a different name?
Probably the son of George and Elizabeth:
(1) Note that James after giving his own name to a son named one George;
(2) George and Elizabeth's children were baptised in a non-conformist chapel, and James also had some of his baptised non-conformist
(3) Gap between George and Elizabeth's marriage and first known children - almost certainly missing 2 or more there.

As well as the children shown I think it probable that a James born c. 1869 was a son of this couple.

Family Elizabeth BASTARD, b. Abt 1773, Beesands, Stokenham, Devon, England
, bur. 5 Jun 1862, St. Clement’s Church, Townstal, Dartmouth, Devon, England
(Age ~ 89 years) Married 18 Sep 1798 St. Peter’s Church, Buckland tout Saints, Devon, England
- From Loddiswell PR entry (image on DFHS website, members' section)
Shows James was a mariner of Stokenham, Elizabeth of Buckland Tout Saints. Shows 'Married in this Chapel' just after the reference to Elizabeth being of Buckland Tout Saints, whilst most entries showed 'in this Church'. It is clear from the baptism register that events at Buckland at this time were recorded in Loddiswell PRs, Buckland Tout Saints being a chapelry in Loddiswell Parish at this time.
The witnesses were shown as Robert Gardner and Wm Southwood. (Most marriages at this time were witnessed by Robert Popplestone who was probably the parish clerk, so Robert Gardner and William Southwood were probably both close friends or family)
Although there had been a number of Pepperell events in Dartmouth in earlier centuries, there had been none in the town for some time when a Roger married in 1771, and he did not appear to have a son James baptised in Dartmouth who could be this James.
