Name Nicholas BLANK Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1663 Stokenham, Devon, England - (assumed from baptism)
Looking at PRs for Charleton Blank seems to be a name rarely found there; I suspect Nicholas came from elsewhere - this Stokenham baptism seems a likely candidate

Family 1 Willmot EWEN, b. Abt 1663, Stokenham, Devon, England , d. Abt Apr 1715, Charleton, Devon, England (Age ~ 52 years) Married 16 Apr 1691 St. Mary’s Church, Charleton, Devon, England [3] - I've not found the baptisms of any children of Nicholas and Willmot, but looking at microfiche of the PRs I have found most baptisms 1691-1699 unreadable. Most readable from 1700 - none found from this date.
Children 2 children Last Modified 19 Jun 2014 Family ID F35 Family Group Page | Family Chart
Family 2 Mary WANNELL, bur. 28 Jun 1736, St. Mary’s Church, Charleton, Devon, England Married 5 Mar 1716/17 St. Mary’s Church, Charleton, Devon, England [4] - I don't know that this marriage was of this Nicholas, but as he had become a widower nearly 2 years before it seems quite likely. No entries around this time in Charleton PRs show 'widow' or 'widower'. If it was him it was quite possible he was marrying a widow and that Mary's maiden name was not Wannell.
If it wasn't him it could well be a son I haven't discovered (due to the illegibility of baptism entries in the few years just after his marriage to Willmot)
