Richard MISSINGHAM married Mary.

There are 2 possibilities for Richard married to Mary:

1) Richard Masingham b. c1718 of Haslemere Surrey. Married 7 Aug 1743 Haslemere Surrey to: Mary White b. c1722 of Hethly [Headley] Surrey (reg.).

2) Richard Missingham. Married 22 Jul 1768 Headley Hampshire to: Mary Cane.

Mary Cane, nee Patrick, was the widow of John Cane, whom she married 3 Oct 1753, in Linchmere Sussex. John Cane was buried 29 Apr 1767.

It may possible that the second marriage is that of a son to the first Richard, although no baptism records can be found.
Two Richards are buried in Headley: 30 Oct 1784 and 30 Apr 1787, but sadly, no ages are given.
