Mine's almost next door so I've done it for you. There's no indexed CALLARD/DISTIN marriage...... But - for what it's worth - I did notice that a very large proportion of the CALLARD baptisms were in Buckfastleigh and I see that the oldest CALLARD couple I have in my 1841 census transcript were living in North Huish and both were born c1780. So perhaps "your" CALLARD orginates in that northern area of the Hams? Best of luck, Ray
