- From BTs (image on FamilySearch website, viewed 29 Nov 2016)
"Mary Daugr of John Gotham bapt June the 15th" - under heading 'Christinings Anno Domini 1738'
Gender Female Probate 1806 - A Mary GRANT of Morchard Bishop left a will dated 1806; I think it was quite likely this Mary. A death duties abstract survives - Discovery catalogue entry (TNA ref: IR 26/333/382)
The abstract does not by itself clarify whether it was this Mary, but it is consistent with it being, and gives some family info. (i.e. she left 2 married daughters, and grandchildren who might inherit at the age of 21 - consistent with someone born 1737 and dying aged about 69).
Administration was granted for another Mary GRANT of Morchard Bishop in 1769; see Devon wills project for details. Could be this Mary, but less likely.

"John Gotham mar'd to Eliz Wreford August the 5th" - under heading 'Marriages Anno Domini 1736'
Same date given by Vivan.
The Wrefords of Morchard Bishop and Clannaborough were an ancient armigerous family and Vivian has an extensive tree of Elizabeth's ancestors back to the 1400s - although he is not always accurate it should be of use to anyone related to Elizabeth (including any descendants of John and Elizabeth).
