Family Mary HEXT, b. Est 1572, bur. 15 Mar 1656/57, St. Pancras’ Church, Widecombe in the Moor, Devon, England (Age ~ 85 years) Married 17 Nov 1595 St. Pancras’ Church, Widecombe in the Moor, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 16 Jul 2021)
"Wyllyam Torr & Marye hext the xviith of nove[m]ber"There is no obvious reason for the gap between children's baptisms of 1606 and 1613; the lack of baptisms after could simply be Mary's age but would be expected anyway as there are no records surviving of baptisms after 1613 until 1624.
The brief abstract of William's will shows he left daughters Dunes and Grace besides those whose baptisms have been found. No other surname is recorded for either, suggesting that they were then unmarried; Grace is probably the 'Grace Tare' who married in 1646, so she may well have been born after 1613.
