Lawrence UNDERHILL
Set As Default Person -
Name Lawrence UNDERHILL Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Between 1607 and 1612 - Assuming he was the daughter of Jone, as seems likely, and not Lawrence's son by a previous marriage. Lawrence's will, written 1620, implies he was then under the age of 21, so she would have to have been born after 1599 if he was his by a previous marriage. As he seems to have been married by 1627 (first known child baptised Jun 1628) he must have married young if Jone's son. As an orphan, though, from 1625, his guardian may have been keen to see him married and off their hands.

- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 21 Aug 2020)
"Laurence Underhill and Jone Gotham widow were marryed the xxxith of July."
Aveton Gifford PRs only survive from the early C17th, with baptisms only from 1614. BTs survive from 1608, there were no Underhill children baptised in Aveton Gifford 1608-9. but the BTs for 1610-1613 do not survive.
Hence we do not know of other children who may have been born to Lawrence and Jone. A couple of documents listed on Discovery show there was a Lawrence Underhill of Exeter around this time; I do not know if it was this Lawrence before moving to Aveton Gifford; if so there could have been children baptised there. None found by searching on FMP, but not all PRs survive / are indexed there. Given that the children known to be of both of them, still born in 1613, Mary in 1615, and another who died around the time of birth in 1616 suggests they were quite fertile, there are likely to have been several children born 1607 - 1612, probably at least 3, so it seems reasonable to suppose that Lawrence and Julyan may have been theirs. However, Lawrence was married by 1627, so must have married young if he was Jone's son.
