Marriage Notes:
Gamaliel* Vosper, gent, of Tamerton, and Judeth, daughter of Oliver Dinham, of Saltash.
* This must be a mistranscription, as there is otherwise no record of a Gamaliel Vosper anywhere, only of Daniell, who names an Oliver Dynham, gent. as one of the executors of his will. In the christening records of the children, John Vosper is called son of Daniell Vosper and Judath, and Judeth Vosper is called wife of Daniell Vosper in her burial record). 3
Marriage Information:
Daniell also married Joane before 1635. (Joane was buried on 9 Jun 1658 in North Tamerton, Cornwall 1.)
