He is presumably the Philip Pasmore named in North Devon Record Office documents:
2309B/0/T/48/2(a): Lease for lives 1. Sir Charles W. Bampfylde of Poltimore 2. Philip Pasmore of North Molton, woolcomber, 1780.
2309B/0/T/48/2(b): Assignment of lease 1. Philip Passmore 2. William Passmore, his son, 1797.
The son must be the William baptised in 1774. The woolcomber occupation matches that on Philip's 1764 marriage licence and the Philip Pasmore baptised in 1731 was dead by 1797, so this must be the one baptised in 1735.
He must also be the Philip in this 1794 document, although if so a Richard Pasmore born c1776 needs to be added to his children.

10 July 34 George III
The 1792 marriage [J] of a widower Philip Pasmore I was unsure of at first as the signature on this marriage does not match any of the marriages or witnesses that came before it. The same signature however appears as a witness on the 1801 marriage of Philip Pasmore and Elizabeth Slader [K].
However having now found the following document regarding this Philip's will:
The National Archives, Kew
IR 26/337/380
Abstract of Will of Philip Passmore, Woolcomber of North Molton, Devon. Proved in the Court of Exeter.
Date: July 30 1804
This names his three children and wife as Elizabeth and this confirms that the following third marriage was his:
J. 12 Nov 1792 North Molton to Elizabeth Radford (widower - could sign)
The marriage was by licence and he was described as being a clothier and a widower. He could sign and she could not. Unlike the signatures on his 1764 and 1770 marriages, he now signed his surname with two Ss (Passmore), whereas in 1764 and 1770 he signed as 'Pasmore'. The capital Ps are also different.
The extract of his will contained in the above mentioned IR 26/337/380 contains the following:
Date of the Probate and Sum sworn to:
1804 July 30th under 600£
Name and Description of the Testator or Intestate:
Philip Passmore late of North Molton Woolcomber
Names and Places of Abode of the Executors or Administrators:
Philip Passmore of the same his son
Names of the Legatees, distinguishing the Residuary Legatee/Degree of Relationship/Account of the several Legacies, and Annuities, and Form of the Requests, particularly of the Residue:
Elizabeth Passmore - Wife - Six Pounds and ten shillings per year during her life payable out of Rackapark
Christian Kingdon - Daughter - The House & Garden she lived in
Robert Passmore - Son - Three Dwelling Houses and Garden with Fifty Pounds
Phillip Passmore, Residuary Legatee - Son - All the rest & residue of his Personal Estate Goods & Chattels he gave to his said son Phillip Passmore and appointed him sole Executor.
As only his children Christian born 1767, Philip born 1772 and Robert born 1782 are named in his will, presumably these are the only children who outlived him.
There is indeed the baptism of a Richard in 1775 so his children with second wife Margaret seem to be:
Philip 1770, Philip 1772, William 1774, Richard 1775, Elizabeth 1777, Margaret 1780, Robert 1782, Michael 1785 & Peter 1787.
Philip's first wife Joan was buried on 1 July 1669 as 'Joan Wife of Philip Pasmore'.
As has been pointed out here by the previous poster, William and Richard were in fact alive at the time of their father's death but are not listed in the names of beneficiaries in the sums sworn at his probate.
The full original will does not survive as it was destroyed with all the other Devon wills in WWII.
Philip is named with his son William on lease 2309B/0/T/48/2(a) in 1797 listed above. He is also named with sons Philip and Richard in a lease 3 years before in 1794 also listed above B1162/15/8.
I can therefore only assume that William and Richard received their inheritiance in their father's lifetime and that this was referenced in the lost original will but not recorded in the schedule.
He may also have fallen out with one or the other of these sons and just left them one shilling each which was not recorded in the schedule either.
