Richard Gollop (bap. 25 Dec 1746 in Kilmington, Devon), son of William Gollop and Mary Sellwood, married Hester Litten (bap. 7 Sep 1741 in Offwell), the 'Bast' (Bastard, obvs) child of Dinah Litten, on 27 Apr 1770, in Honiton on Otter, which today is just called Honiton and, well, it's close to the River Otter. Not at St Paul's Church, High Street, as that wasn't built until 1835, so probably at the former parish church of St Michael's (now closed), but not as we see it now, as it was rebuilt in 1911/12 after a fire.
Richard and Hester had six children, all baptised in Offwell:
- William Gollop bap. 26 Aug 1770 (Presume died in infancy)
- Robert Gollop bap. 17 May 1772
- John Gollop bap. 8 Apr 1774 (Buried 6 Nov 1776)
- Elizabeth Gollop b. 3 Apr 1776, bap. 12 May 1776
- Dinah Gollop b. 12 Jul 1780, bap. 22 Oct 1780
- William Gollop b. 24 Apr 1783, 18 May 1783
Richard Gollop was buried on 15 Jun 1800 and Esther Gollop, Widow, was buried on 11 Dec 1808, both in the parish of Widworthy.
