Ending in 2nd Generation of Bridgett Leigh
5th Generation of Leighs

22. Sir CHARLES LLOYD (abt 1662 - 31 Dec 1723 Lampeter), baronet. Mother: 13. BRIDGETT LEIGH
md (1) JANE LLOYD (abt 1657 - 20 Jul 1689 Lampeter), dau of MORGAN LLOYD of Green Grove and ELINOR LLOYD of Cilgwyn.
See the biography of Bridgett Leigh for a portrait of Sir Charles Lloyd.


24. Jane LLOYD (bef 1689 - aft 1711)
md 1. James FARMAR (marriage voided)
md 2. William GOWER of Carmarthen bef 1706

We know nothing of her "voided" marriage, but possibly James FARMER was related to the second husband of URSULA LEIGH. Jane inherited part of the Green Grove estate from her mother and. sold it to her father in 1706 and 1711 for 700 pounds (Conveyance summarized in NLW Isgarn Miscell. Indenture of Release dated 28 Sep 1752, p. 6). Of William GOWER we learned only that he bought part of a mortgage of Green Castle in September 1711 (Green, "Annals of ...," p.13). He is sometimes called Glover, but the above sources give Gower. There was also a Glover family in Carmarthen of the right dates.
25. Eleanor LLOYD (bef 1689 - bef 1701 in Maesyfelin)
md (2) Lady FRANCES CORNWALLIS (? - 1753), dau of FRANCIS CORNWALLIS Kt of Abermarlais, in ?1691

26. Elizabeth LLOYD (chr 4 Apr 1700 Lampeter - aft 15 Jun 1750)
md (1) NN SHERBURNE of Herefordshire

She is named as "Mrs Sherburne sister of Sir Lucius" in a Millfield account book (NLW Gwernyfed, Millfield Rent Roll A 1750, p.6).
27. Frances LLOYD (chr 22 Nov 1702 - 28 Feb 1703 both Lampeter)
28. EMMA LLOYD (? - aft 28 Sep 1752)
md Dr (?THOMAS) FFOYE of Carmarthen

No christening appears for EMMA in the Lampeter Bishop's Transcripts, but she was identified as daughter EMMA in the GG reference cited below and in the Indenture of Release dated 28 Sep 1752 (p.8) cited below. Her husband's name is sometimes given as Toye, but both references give Ffoye. St Peter's Collocation of Names lists the family of Thomas Ffoy. Chyrurgus et Medicus with children's christening dates in 1725 - 32. The girls' names suggest a family relation: Frances, Emma, and Elizabeth, with a brother Edward. The apparent mother (Mrs NN Ffoy) of this family was buried on 15 Aug. 1767.
29. Sir Charles Cornwallis LLOYD (chr 24 Jan 1706 - bur 4 Mar 1729 both Lampeter)
md Jennings ANDERTON (? - aft 9 Apr 1753) aft 2 Aug 1727 in Lampeter?

Her name is often misconstrued as "NN Jennings of Anderton, Somersetshire." In John Lloyd's mortgage of Millfield to Horace Walpole (NLW Isgarn. Miscell.. Mortgage dated 9 April 1753), a summary of her pre-nuptial bond with Sir Charles Cornwallis dated 2 Aug 1727 identified her clearly as ''Jennings Anderton Spinster only surviving Daughter of the said Elizabeth [now married to John Trevillian Esq] by James Anderton Esquire ... deceased" (p.14). She was elsewhere called Dame Jennings, and her second husband George Speke was party to the mortgage to ensure settlement of her annuity of 450 pounds per annum (unpaid for years). Her various lawsuits to gain her annuity (p.19) added to Sir Lucius's financial woes.
30. Anna Maria LLOYD (chr 12 Feb 1710 - bur 17 Mar 1710 both Lampeter)
31. Edith LLOYD (chr 28 Oct 1712 Lampeter - bef 28 Sep 1752)
The Indenture refers to the "other two daughters Frances and Edith Lloyd Spinsters both since deceased" (p.8). In fact Frances died as an infant.
32. Lucius Christianus LLOYD (chr 27 Dec 1715 - 20 Jan 1750 Lampeter)
md Anne LLOYD (chr 1 Feb 1719 - 21 Dec 1746 Lampeter), dau Sir Walter LLOYD of Peterwell and Elizabeth EVANS, before 18 May 1743 in Lampeter?

Both Sir Lucius Christianus (as the last male heir) and his wife Anne (who shared his financial helplessness) reflect a sort of tragic fatalism suited to the folk tradition of the curse of Maesyfelin as described in the biography of Bridgett Leigh.
