Name Peter WILLIAMS Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Baptised - FMP show a Peter Williams bapt 1617 in Lamerton, but looking at the images of the PR entries they provide this appears to be a figment of their imagination.
Gender Male Buried 11 Apr 1698 St. Peter’s Church, Lamerton, Devon, England 
- Might be the Peter bur Lamerton 27 Sep 1685 OR it could be his son, or an older generation etc.
There was another burial of a Peter Wms in Lamerton on 11 Apr 1698.
Peter must have died before his wife (1711); the fact his dau was described as "dau of Peter" in 1697 I think suggests he was still alive, so I think the 1698 burial was more likely his.

Family Grace, bur. 15 Jul 1711, St. Peter’s Church, Lamerton, Devon, England Married 21 Dec 1661 St. Peter’s Church, Lamerton, Devon, England - Date from Dartmoor Press data, but that doesn't show the brides name. When Grace was buried she was shown as widow of Peter, given that Peter had a dau Grace I think she was the dau of this Peter, not his son.
But it's possible Peter could have been widowed and remarried, esp between 1670 and 1675. But the indexes on FMP show no burials of a female Williams in Lamerton during this period.
To my mind this pretty strongly indicates Grace was person Peter married in 1661, the mother of all his children.
There is also no other marr of a Peter, either on FMP or Dartmoor Press, but a second marriage could easily have been in a parish not covered by either for this period.
