    • "1615 June 3. William Stotham of Abbots Kerswell and Mary Yonge of Marldon"
      (from 'The Marriage Licenses of the Diocese of Exeter from the Bishop's Registers', ed. Lieutenant-Colonel J. L. Vivian, Exeter, 1889; p.46)
    Married 17 Jul 1615  St. Mary’s Church, Abbotskerswell, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • From Parish Register (image on DFHS website, viewed 27 Jan 2016)
      "1. William Gotham the son[n]e of Agnes Gotham widow of this p[ar]ish and Mary Yonge the daughter of John Yonge of the p[ar]ish of Mar^ldon, were maried the xviith day of Julie ./ 1615" - under heading 'Anno Dmini 1615'

      (Although I have not found a baptism record for Timothy, he seems to be a son of this marriage. This is based not only on the names he gave his children but also because it appears to be two of his sons who were defendants in a Court of Chancery case along with Dinah Adams, to whom they were described as nephews, and Dinah was a daughter of this marriage)
