  Married	Est 1716
  	I have only found a baptism for Thomasin - I am assuming it is the right Thomasin, not only was it in Stoke Fleming, a neighbouring parish to Blackawton, but the date fits well with the date Thomasin married, plus it shows her parents as John and Wilmot and a John and Wilmot Bellamy were buried at a time consistent with being her parents in Blackawton. Although generally quite a common name there weren't many Bellamy events in Stoke Fleming or Blackawton or other neighbouring parishes, and it is clear that John and Wilmot weren't buried in Stoke Fleming. Given that all of their daughters married in Blackawton and their sons also lived there, it would appear that all the family moved from Stoke Fleming to Blackawton, or else that they always lived in the latter but maybe found it more convenient to have Thomasin baptised in Stoke. The names of Thomasin's siblings are from the wills of her brother Matthew and his wife Jane, which also name husbands, some occupations, and some children of their marriages. My ancestor Ann Burgoin was not married when Matthew wrote his will but was by the time Jane wrote hers, so it is clear that she was my ancestor, the Ann Burgoin who married James Hambling. The estimated dobs are based on a combination of the order in which mentioned in John's will and date of marriage. They may be reviewed and adjusted in the light of dates of childrens' baptisms and if any ages at death are found.

  Family	Jane HARRIS,   bur. 15 Oct 1788, St. Michael’s Church, Blackawton, Devon, England
  Married	24 Dec 1769	St. George’s Church, Dittisham, Devon, England
  	From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 20 Jun 2015) Matthew Ballamy of Blackawton, Jane Harris Spinster of this [Dittisham] Parish, by Licence, both signed, witnesses John Littlejohn and John Horswill (both signed) Just under a year before Matthew and Jane married Jane's niece, also Jane Harris, had married a William Ching and settled in Slapton. Matthew also had Ching relations, his sister Thomazin having married a William Ching in 1742. Their children included a William Ching - I wonder if he was the William Ching that Jane Harris married, and if it was through their marrying that Matthew and Jane met and subsequently married. (Jane cannot have married Thomazin's widow, since Thomazin did not die until 1773) Possibly against this theory is that Matthew seems to have left bequests to most of his nephews and nieces, in fact I don't know of any definitely alive then who were omitted, but he left nothing to William Ching. The William who Jane married did not die until 1786, so I think most likely was another William Ching. (There were quite a few Chings in the area).
