Penelope GOTHAM

1610 - Yes, date unknown

 Set As Default Person

• Name	Penelope GOTHAM
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	Mentioned in her mother Susan Gotham's will. All others named in the will including daughters are named in full, i.e. Christian name and surname, none was a Gotham at the time. Penelope, however, was only mentioned by her surname, which suggests to me she probably shared her mother's surname and was unmarried and a Gotham by birth.

  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.
