Charles Awton (bap. 1735 in Broadhembury, Devon) married Mary Maurice (b. 1737) at the church of St Michael and All Angels, Awliscombe, East Devon on 13 Apr 1762. The family name was probably, and it certainly became, Horton, but I'll reproduce what was written undoubtedly as a result of the Devonshire accent and the precedent set by the spelling of the village name.

Charles and Mary had at least ten children, all baptised in Awliscombe:

1. Betty Awton bap. 6 Jun 1762
2. John Awton bap. 7 Apr 1765 (John, son of Charles and Mary, was buried on 10 Feb 1782. He will have been 16.)
3. William Awton bap. 22 May 1768
4. Charles Awton bap. 9 Sep 1770
5. Mary Awton bap. 18 Apr 1773
6. Nancy Awton bap. 2 Jul 1775
7. Jenny Awton bap. 19 Apr 1778 (Later calling herself Jane)
8. Henry Awton bap. 14 Jan 1781 (Presume died as an infant)
9. John Awton bap. 11 Feb 1782
10. Henry Awton bap. 9 Jan 1785

Charles Awton reputedly died in 1810, however, I've found no evidence.

There is a burial of a Mary Auten (sic), on 21 Jun 1837 - the day after Queen Victoria ascended to the throne - in Awliscombe, who had lived to 100. 

Reenactors in the uniform of the 33rd Regiment of Foot (Wellington's Redcoats), who fought in the Napoleonic Wars between 1812 and 1816. (Slightly later than William Horton's time.)

Most of the Awtons/Hortons I've been unable to trace forward, however, William Horton, living with his sister, Jane Gollop, in Widworthy, in 1841 and 1851, described as a Chelsea Pensioner, who had served with Marquess Cornwallis' 33rd Regiment of Foot (the real one, not the reenactors, but this does help to visualise him in his red coat, looking like an extra in a Jane Austen drama). He was discharged on 21 Apr 1796: William Horton, Private of the Aforesaid Regiment, born in the parish of Orliscomb (sic), in or near the Market Town of Honiton, in the county of Devon, aged twenty-six years (ish) and by Trade a Labourer, hath served honestly and faithfully in the said Regiment, five years and eight months, but being lame of the right arm from a Wound received at Bois-de-duk (sic) on the 15th October 1794, which renders him unfit for service ... The regiment took part in the disastrous Flanders Campaign during the French Revolutionary Wars (War of the First Coalition). In 1794, Bois-le-Duc (French) ('s-Hertogenbosch a.k.a. Den Bosch, Netherlands) was taken by French troops of the newly created young republic. The Siège de Bois-le-Duc (1794) took place from 23 Sep to 5 Oct 1794, so it's clear that William Horton was there around that time.

Despite this, William Horton lived until the age of 84 and was buried, on 27 Mar 1853, in the churchyard of St Cuthbert's church in Widworthy.

Robert Gollop (bap. 17 May 1772 in Offwell), son of Richard Gollop and Hester Litten, married Jane Horton (bap. 19 Apr 1778 in Awliscombe, East Devon), daughter of Charles Awton and Mary Maurice, on 29 Mar 1802 in Awliscombe, East Devon. The marriage record says Awton, which is probably what it sounded like in a Devon accent and was written down that way by the church official, also given the spelling of the village name. 

Robert and Jane had at least these four children:

1. Elizabeth Gollop bap. 25 Sep 1803 in Widworthy 
2. Robert Gollop b. 8 Dec 1805, bap. 6 Apr 1806 in Shute, Devon
3. Charles Gollop b. 1 May 1809, bap. 18 Jun 1809 in Shute, Devon (Died, aged 20, and was buried on 22 Dec 1830 in Widworthy.)
4. Harriet Gollop, bap. 24 Oct 1819 in Widworthy

Robert Gollop died, aged 60, and was buried in Widworthy on 4 Jan 1833.

By the time of the 1841 census, Jane Gollop (60) was living at Lusehayne, Widworthy and with her were her now married daughter Harriett Wood (20), Jane Bazleigh (12), William Horton (70) - we later discover is Jane's brother - Elizabeth Blackmore (3) and Mary Wood (1) [Harriet's daughter].

In 1851, Jane Gollop (72) Widow, was living in "A Cottage, Widworthy", with her brother, William Horton (83) Chelsea Pensioner; granddaughter, Mary J Wood (10), plus her widowed son Robert Gollop (44) Shoemaker and his three children, Amos (11), Emanuel (9) and Sophia (7).

Jane Gollop died, aged 81 in 1858 S Quarter in HONITON Volume 05B Page 19, and was buried on 12 Sep 1858 in Widworthy.
