    Notes 
    • I am guessing that Richard was a brother of Joseph partly because he is recorded as Cleave alias Hammet but also (more significantly) because he named a son Jospeh.

      "6 Thomas Emet and Mary Elford ware married the 17th day of Septemb"

      This couple seem likely to be the parents or Richard Cleave.

      I have started, but not finished, looking at the Emmotts in Widecombe. The thought Hammett and Emmott (and variants beginnign H and E) might be all variants of the same name, but generally the names beginning E an those beginning H seem quite seperate, and no Emmot was ever described as alias Cleave.
      However, I think Hammett and Emet may have been muddled on this occasion.

      There is no sign of a marriage of a Thomas Hammett (or any variant sp beginning H) or of a Thomas Cleave (or variant sp), other than Thomas's first marriage and it seems unlikely that they would have had an eleven year gap between children.
      There were several children of a Thomas Emmot baptised in Ashburton from 1695 on, but there was also a Thomas Emmet married in Buckfastleigh in 1694, with no children baptised there, so they were probably the parents of the Ashburton children.

      There was, though, a Thoams Emott baptised in 1660, and the marriage could have been his.
