Name Thomas GOTTAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Baptised 27 Nov 1724 St. Peter’s Church, Stoke upon Tern, Shropshire, England 
- From FamilySearch website
Gender Male Bequest 1733 From his grandfather Thomas Gottam - Remembered in his Gottam grandfather's will:
"I Give and Bequeath to my Grandson Thomas Gottam of Stoke one Cow, the best bed, one Coffer wth three payr of sheetes one Chest and two Chairs, being all at his Mothers house at Stoke"
Apprenticeship 6 Feb 1743/44 Stoke upon Tern, Shropshire, England Master: Chandler Lawrence Rowley - Apprenticeship duty for the apprenticeship was
"Brought on:
[1743] Febry: 6th 33 [master] Lawrance Rowley of Stoake Upon Tern [trade] Chandler &c [apprentice] Thos. Gottam of Do [*] __ 18th Janry _ Do [1743] _ [in col. with note of Indenture / Articles] Do [not clear if ditto refers to Com[mon]. Ind[enture]. or to Com.Ind & Coun[te]r p[ar]t _ [Term of Years] 7 yrs fr[om] 1st Do [Date**] _ Do _ [Money given £50 or Under] 12 _ _ [Duty 6d p £] _ 6 _ [columns for money above £50 and duty on it blank]"
Meaning: * - the vast majority of entries on the page show 'son of ...'. Where there is no father named, I think 'of Do' means of the place just mentioned, i.e. that Thomas was, like Lawrence, of Stoke upon Tern, not that he was 'of' the name above (in Thomas's case the name above was one Richard Rowley whose son became an apprentice in Shrewsbury; when Thomas became an orphan his guardian was his uncle Walker, so no obvious family or place link to a Richard Rowley.
** - I think this refers to the date of the indenture, i.e. Jan 1743.

Died Aft 1773 - His wife shown as 'w of' when she died, implying Thomas was still living.
