Richard Wilton (b. 1737), son of Henry Wilton and Martha Douse, married Mary Robinson on 30 Mar 1762 in Sawston, Cambridgeshire, where there are records of Wiltons, going back to the early 1600s, still to research. 

Richard & Mary had four children, all baptised at St Mary's Church, Sawston.

1. Elizabeth Wilton bap. 4 Jul 1762
2. Henry Wilton bap. 30 Oct 1768
3. Stephen Wilton bap. 25 Dec 1777
4. Hannah Wilton bap. 7 Jun 1779 (buried 17 Aug 1779)

They also had a daughter, Martha Wilton (for whom I found no baptism record), who I only know exists because Henry Wilton (b. 1868) mentioned her as his sister, Martha Root (Martha Wilton, who had married John Root, on 25 Jan 1791 in Sawston, Cambridgeshire) in his Will in 1839. 

Mary Wilton, wife of Richard, died and was buried on 10 Apr 1780.

Richard Wilton, Widower, was buried in Sawston, Cambridgeshire, in 1797.

Sawston, Cambridgeshire is notable as one of the very few industrial villages in the county that take advantage of the clean water supply, one of the principle industries being leather. There are two sites in Sawston which support or have formerly supported Tanning facilities and there may have been leather-workers in the parish in the Middle Ages. This very likely explains why Henry Wilton (1768) and his nephew, Henry Wilton (1809) became saddlers and my 3rd great-grandfather, Richard Wilton, a harness maker.

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 Jane 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.
