There are two possible burials, both at Wootton Courtney: 24 Jan 1783 and 3 Apr 1801.
It would seem the first to be buried wrote a will:

Wills and probate Index 1300-1858 Image
Place: Somerset
Publication title: Somerset, Taunton Archdeaconry Wills Index, 1537-1799
Page number: 422
Copyright: © British Record Society
Source: British Record Society, vol 045
Category: Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records
Subcategory: Wills & probate
Collections from: Great Britain

I'm sure you know the following, Kate, but just in case.....

Wills proved in the Archdeaconry Courts of Taunton and Wells were, for some reason, kept in Exeter during the 2nd World War, and thus in 1942 suffered the same catastrophic fate as most Devon wills.

Do you know what age person the 'other' burial might be for?
