Alexander GOTHAM, Gent., b. Est 1545, d. Abt 1608, (probably), Abbotskerswell, Devon, England
(Age ~ 63 years) (Grandfather) 
Susan, b. Est 1580, d. 1651, (probably), Abbotskerswell, Devon, England (Age ~ 71 years) (Mother) Notes - Susan Gotham, a widow, who wrote a will in 1651 left a bequest to a grandchild Susan Tozer. That suggests she had a daughter who married a Tozer. That could have been a daughter not mentioned in the will, probably because she pre-deceased her mother, as I am showing here, but there are other possibilities including:
one of the daughters named in the will may have been married to a Tozer and then widowed and remarried before her mother wrote her will;
Susan (the testator) may have had more marriages and could have been a Tozer by an earlier marriage, and so her granddaughter Susan could be a son's child;
Susan (the granddaughter) could have been married by the time her grandmother wrote her will, and born with the married name of one of Susan's daughters shown on this tree.

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.
