"September
M[arried] 12 Timothy Gotham & Patience Wallis"
Offspring - In 1757 a Nathaniel was baptised in West Teignmouth, the entry in the PR showing he was the son of Thomas and Patience, but there seems to have been no such couple!
I think Nathaniel must have been the son of Thomas and Martha or of this couple, Timothy and Patience.
The evidence seems more strongly weighted towards Nathaniel being the son of Thomas and Martha (see full argument for this on Nathaniel's page)
* Either way, the Nathaniel who married Elizabeth Whidbourne clearly was the son of Thomas and Martha. *
i.e. if the Nathaniel baptised in 1757 was the son of Timothy and Patience he probably died unmarried and childless.

Family John EALES, b. Abt 1762, bur. 2 Mar 1837, St. Mary the Virgin Church, Wolborough, Devon, England (Age ~ 75 years) Banns of marriage From 16 May 1790 to 30 May 1790 St. Mary the Virgin Church, Wolborough, Devon, England - From register entry (image on FMP, viewed 13 Dec 2018)
Married 6 Jun 1790 St. Mary the Virgin Church, Wolborough, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 20 Apr 2015)
It would seem to be this Mary who married John Eales. It's more likely she was just 3 or 4 years older than 10 years older (the only other Mary I think could have married John was baptised in 1752). Age at death is not totally conclusive: shown as 83 when this Mary would have been 81, but the other 87!
