  Occupation	24 Apr 1704	Exeter, Devon, England   [3]
  	Grocer, apprenticed to Anthony Viccary.
  Note	Bef 17 Nov 1720  [4, 5]
  It's obvious that at some point, Hugh became a "Non-Conformist" or "Dissenter", because at least his 3 youngest children were baptised in a Presbyterian church.
  Died	Bef 16 Apr 1740	Exeter, Devon, England   [6]
  	Apr. 16 1740 is from the probate of his will. He wrote the will July 10 1739, so died between those two dates, but likely very close to the 1740 date.
  Note	Aft 16 Apr 1740
  There appear to have been no male offspring in the third generation of Hugh's (1681) family to carry on the name.

  Married	8 Nov 1710	St Peter Cathedral, Exeter, Devon, England   [6, 7]
  	It is not certain that Hugh Mallett, Grocer, of Exeter is the same Hugh Mallett that married Mary Glanville, or the Hugh Mallett born in Iddesleigh in 1681, but the age fits, and Hugh the Grocer's wife's name was indeed Mary. One might expect also that the second son of a gentleman, as Hugh was, might be apprenticed to a tradesman so that he could earn a respectable living, since he would not inherit his father's estate, and Saint Peter Cathedral would be an appropriate venue for the marriage of a gentleman's son. However, Hugh, when referring to his children in his will, mentions that their grandmother's name was Mary Talbott, so one might suppose that Hugh's wife was also Mary Talbott and not Mary Glanville - but Hugh or Mary's mother might have remarried, and Mary could have been born Talbott but married someone called Glanville before she married Hugh...
