"Agnis the daughter of Richard Goteham was baptised"
From incomplete page, but heading below the baptisms 'Marriages Ano Dom 1615' shows that the page was for events in the OS year 1615. No month survives for any of the baptism entries, but Agnes's entry being last but two suggests it was late in the year, i.e. probably about Feb or March 1615/16.

Father Mr. Richard GOTHAM, b. Est 1578, d. Between 1615 and 1640 (Age ~ 37 years) Mother Susan, b. Est 1580, d. 1651, (probably), Abbotskerswell, Devon, England (Age ~ 71 years) Married - Without Penelope's baptism there was no clear evidence that the Richard having children in East Allington was the husband of Susan who was linked to Whiddon in Abbotskerwell.
Penelope's baptism shows that Richard and Susan were married to each other. The baptism was outside the usual Gotham area, but in an area with which Richard had a family link through the Coles - his maternal grandmother was Margaret Cole and she appears to have inherited land in Buckland Toutsaints, a small parish adjoining East Allington.
This link of Richard to the area makes me confident it was this Richard who was the father of Penelope / husband of Susan.

Family Nicholas GELLARD, b. Est 1607, d. Between 1645 and 1659 (Age ~ 38 years) Married 12 Jun 1634 St. Martin’s Church, Exeter, Devon, England - Place and date as suggested by Boyd's marriage index
(Nicholas Gillard to Agnes Goteham)
Actual date from FamilySearch
There were few Gellard (etc.) events in Abbotskerswell, besides the family of Nicholas and Agnes just the baptism of a Nicholas, son of a David Gillerd, in 1666. Although FamilySearch does not have the baptism of a son David I suspect he was a son of Nicholas and Agnes.
