Elizabeth FOAL, b. Abt 1744, d. 9 Jun 1822, Frogmore, Devon, England (Age ~ 78 years) (Mother)Notes - Mentioned in mother's will
I have her mother's will as showing her as Elizabeth Bennett, wife of Thomas Bennett, but she would fit perfectly as the Elizabeth Trant who married Thomas Bellett - need to look at the will again (though assuming a mistake has been made in may have been in making the copy held in the Devon Records Office).
Since writing the above I have become aware of a few instances of the surname usually recorded as Bellett being written as Bennet, so I don't think it significant if the will does have Bennett.

Father John TRANT, b. 1743, bur. 3 Jan 1810, St. Martin’s Church, Sherford, Devon, England (Age ~ 67 years) Mother Elizabeth FOAL, b. Abt 1744, d. 9 Jun 1822, Frogmore, Devon, England (Age ~ 78 years) Married 30 Aug 1772 St. Martin’s Church, Sherford, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 22 Apr 2015)
Philip Trant may have been the son of John and Elizabeth but I think he was more likely the son of John's brother William. See birth notes on Philip's page for my thoughts on this.

Headstones The Row of Trant / Trant-related graves
Left to right, stones commemorate:
Elizabeth BELLETT née TRANT and her husband Thomas;
George TRANT (1st cousin of the above Elizabeth) and his daughter Sarah;
[no known link];
Grace TRANT née MABIN (wife of the above George), their son William TRANT and grandson Edward J[ohn Trant] ROGERS.
Wills (transcripts) The will of Elizabeth's mother, Elizabeth Trant (nee Foal)
Left £10 by her mother - twice what her sister Mary recieved, but only half what her brother Richard received. Because it was in buildings, land etc. it is hard to assess how it compares with what her other brothers received, but it would seem to be a good bit less.
