William married Gray, Dorothy on 10 Oct 1633 in Seaton,Devon,Eng. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

BIRTH: The identification of William as a son of Richard by an unknown 1st wife is based on circumstantial evidence. William's son Roger, who emigrated to New England, is called "cousin" in the will of another New England immigrant, John Clapp of Dorchester, 11 Jul 1655, proved 30 Aug 1655, Suffolk Co. Probate, misc docket, (o.s.) 1:111 (FHL #584127). John Clapp is a proved son of Nicholas Clapp. John's will mentions several brothers, nieces, and nephews who are mentioned in the will of Nicholas Clapp of Venn Ottery, Devon, 12 Mar 1631/2, proved 29 Mar 1632, Archdeaconry Court of Exeter. The wills of this court were destroyed in 1942. See transcript in Mary Lovering Holman, THE SCOTT GENEALOGY (Boston, 1919), 227-28 (FHL #929.273 Sco84h). Nicholas and William Clapp are apparently brothers. Nicholas is mentioned in the will of his mother, Christian Clapp of Sidbury, Devon, 25 Jul 1608, proved 12 Aug 1608, Court of the Dean and Chapter of Exeter, abstracted in Olive M. Moger, "Transcript of Devonshire Wills," 44 vols. (typescript, n.d.), 9:1210 (FHL #916870). William is not mentiond in the will of Christian Clapp, who is the widow of Richard Clapp. It appears that William is from an earlier, unknown wife of Richard. Date and place of birth are approximations.
MAR: W. I. Leeson, ed, "Sidmouth Parish Register" (transcript, 1941; Devon & Cornwall Record Society), unpaginated (FHL #916935). William was "of Salcome." The wife is a "daughter of Robert Channon."
BUR: This bur is cited in Mary Lovering Holman, ANCESTRY OF COLONEL JOHN HARRINGTON STEVENS..., 2 vols. (n.p., 1948, 1951), 1:278 (FHL #929.273 St47h). The par reg of Salcombe Regis begins in 1702. BTs begin in 1609, but searches in a typescript of available BTs found no transcript for the year 1640 (FHL #916930 items 5-6). Holman apparently located the original BTs for this year in her searches. Also see the will of William Clapp of Salcombe Regis, n.d., proved 25 Mar 1641, Exeter Wills, cited in Holman, STEVENS ANCESTRY, 1:279. The wills of this court were destroyed in 1942.
