Thomas Ridgway (b. 9 Sep 1754, bap. 26 Oct 1760, in Culmstock, Devon), son of Thomas Ridgway and Elizabeth Potter, married Sarah Leaman (bap. 6 Apr 1755 in West Buckland, Somerset), daughter of Robert and Sarah Leaman, at All Saint's Church, Culmstock on 31 Jul 1774. 

(The village of Culmstock was later immortalised in the novel Perlycross, by R.D. Blackmore of Lorna Doone fame, who lived in Culmstock for six years while his father, John Blackmore, was curate-in-charge of the parish.)

Thomas and Sarah Ridgway had four children, all baptised in Culmstock:

1. Thomas Ridgway bap. 11 Sep 1774
2. Jacob Ridgway b. 3 May 1776, bap. 27 Oct 1793
3. Sarah Ridgway b. 21 Feb 1778, bap. 27 Oct 1793
4. Simon Ridgway b. 28 Feb 1784, bap. 27 Oct 1793

So far, I've been unable to identify records of Thomas & Sarah's deaths.
