If all these are the children of John and Mary Plowman married in 1711, then John & Mary were both probably born before 1700. Age for marriage could have been as young as 14 for John and 12 for Mary, but this would have been very unusual . Even if 1700 is roughly correct for Mary, I think it unlikely that Thomas born in 1752 belonged to this family – unless he was the son of a second wife. Most children are born within a twenty year span, Mary would be too old to have children otherwise.
There is a Garey burial in 1797 in 1797, but the first name is questionable.
