Father George FOSTER, b. Est 1608, d. Aft 1669 (Age ~ 62 years) Mother Thomazine NARRAMORE, b. Est 1610, bur. 26 Jun 1679, St. Petroc’s Church, South Brent, Devon, England
(Age ~ 69 years) Married Abt 1627 - In Thomazine's father's will, written 1654, he mentions "my daughter Thomazine the wife of George Foster"
I guess that the marriage took place about 1627, as the two lives on the lease of land George Foster entered into in 1626/7 were 'Lives: lessee and Thomazine, daughter of Walter Norramore of Idford'. (DHC catalogue entry)
I guessed that Thomas was the son of George and Thomasine as these were the names he and his wife Amy gave a son and a daughter; a lease at the DHC adds weight to this, and provides more family info.
Also, there were 2 contract in 1657 and 1659 with George as lessee where the lives were his 3 children, Thomas, Robert and Martha.
If my estimates of the dobs of these 3 children are anything like the real dates then there were almost certainly older children born to George and Thomasine.

Family Amy MADDOCKE, b. Est 1647, bur. 11 Mar 1718/19, St. Petroc’s Church, South Brent, Devon, England
(Age ~ 72 years) Married Est 1667 - Lease with Thomas as lessee in 1667 names Amy, daughter of Henry Maddocke, as intended wife of lessee. I doubt if marriage was too much later. With PRs only surviving from 1677 only baptisms from 1678 known of till I have time to look at the BTs (though they don't survive from all years 1667 on, and some that do are torn). Others named here: evidence from leases (some seen, some just the record office catalogue entries seen to date).
