A series of birth entries in the Ugborough church records shows:
George Winsor & wife Betty (mnu):
dau Susannah b. 1787- d.bef 1791
son George b. about Jun 1788
dau Elizabeth “Betty” b. 1789
dau Susannah b. 1791
dau Mary b. 1793
Descendants' DNA shows this George Winsor tracking back to William Winsor of Modbury and wife Zenobia Prior, but I cannot find the above couple before they show up for the birth of first daughter Susannah in 1787 - no marriage records - and after 1793 this couple disappears from Ugborough records.
This couple is definitely NOT George Winsor and wife Elizabeth Wills of Staverton (no DNA matches with that line and they had children before, concurrent and after all born in Staverton).
Are there any directories from the 1790's Ugborough showing tradesmen/occupations?
Any thoughts on other resources I could use in research would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I cannot find a pair of candidate parents for that George Winsor in any of the descendants of William and Zenobia.

Marriage banns:
George Winsor and Elizabeth Winsor
called 19 Feb 1786
in both Churston Ferrers and Dean Prior
or was this the Staverton couple you mentioned?
-
Married 20 April 1786
at Churston Ferrers, Devon
George Winsor (of the parish of Dean Prior)
and
Elizabeth Winsor (of this parish)
He signed, she made her mark
Witnesses: Mary Therdon[?] Neck, John Smith
John Smith witnessed numerous marriages around this time so was presumably unrelated.

Since we now have that Betty was also a Winsor it's equally possible that the DNA link to the Modbury family is through her. Could she be the Elizabeth daughter of William and Grace Winsor baptised there in 1752?

Well she could be but given a marriage at Churston Ferrers and they usually marry in the brides's parish I'd go for
Betty d of Humphrey and Joan 17.8.1755 at Churston Ferrers.
Humphrey married Joan Neck at Dittisham 16.2.1749 both of Churston
Humphrey bapt Berry Pomeroy 18 Dec 1722 s of George and Elizabeth Winsor.
Brother Alex bapt 1.12.1715 Married Su Bedlake 7.1.1742 BP who had a son George 4.5.1746 at BP would have been my bet but that doesn't connect up to William and Zenobia.
I'm pretty sure Betty's line is right with the Neck connection as one of the witnesses ,not so sure George.
