Continuing in 2nd Generation of Richard Leigh
5th Generation of Leighs

37. JONATHAN LEIGH (bef 1671 - abt Jan 1717), gent. Father: 14. RICHARD LEIGH
md (1) NN UNKNOWN (? - 19 Mar 1703 St Peter's) before 1699

40. Richard LEIGH (abt 1698 - 1 Apr 1767 St Peter's), ?trunk maker
41. WILLIAM LEIGH
42. Sarah LEIGH (chr 19 Nov 1702 St Peter's - aft 2 May 1720)
We know nothing about this Sarah's adult life, and perhaps she died as a young girl. She appears to be well treated by Catherine Gwynne LEIGH, who became her stepmother when she was two years old. Not only Catherine willed her thirty pounds in 1720, but also she had been bequeathed three pounds by Catherine's aunt Alice Woodford in 1714.

md (2) Catherine GWYNNE (? - between 7 - 27 May 1720 w.p.) on 29 Feb 1704 in St Peter's
JONATHAN was said to be a trunk maker but he was called gent in Alice Woodford’s will and elsewhere. He was sheriff in 1707, according to Derek Williams. He witnessed the will of his aunt URSULA LEIGH in 1690. His death date is taken from the document naming his minor son Richard as the administrator of his estate on 4 February 1718ns. The bond was signed for the minor son by two cousins of JONATHAN, 63 JOHN LEIGH clothier and 59 Charles LEIGH dyer, both sons of 15 OAKLEY LEIGH (NLW SD/1717/22 B). As a widow, Catherine GWYNNE left bequests to two of her step-children (William and Sarah, but not Richard) in 1720.
