Ann Barter married Walter King, son of John King and Elizabeth Northmore, on 24 Apr 1742 Walkhampton, DEV

, entry reads: "Walter King of Samford Spiney and Ann Barter of this Parish were married" (the Dartmoor Press pages for Dittisham have this as Walter's 2nd marriage, the first being to Ann's sister Elizabeth on 29th Apr 1741, but the pages refer to this Elizabeth as the dtr of John and Ann Barter, no couple of this name, nor a baptism for an Elizabeth around this time have been found.)^5,6

Ann appears to be the widow of Walter King, uncle of her 2nd husband. I am unsure as yet who these two Richards are. My initial guess of father/son and John's father/brother does fit by dates, any other combination of father/son Richards in the family don't have the right dates.)^6,7,2
