The memorial plaque honoring her grandparents also commemorated this Elizabeth, dau of their youngest daughter MARY and the late DAVID THOMAS, for the girl's "engaging Person Sweetness of Disposition and Esteem of all who knew her. Nipt in the bloom of Youth, by the Indiscriminate hand of Death She resigned her soul to her Creator. January the 27th 1774. in her 19th Year of her Age."

Sources: St Peter's Collocation of Names (Film no.104504); Llanarthney Bishop's Transcripts (Film no.105151, which by error lists DAVID THOMAS as David David); will of Owen REES (NLW SD/1777/ ). 
 

71. Rev. RICHARD NASH LEIGH (chr 18 Oct 1708 - died 6 Oct 1739, bur 9 Oct 1739 St Peters).
Father: 63.JOHN LEIGH
md ?ANNE UNKNOWN (? - died 14 June 1758 ?Carmarthen)) probably 1735. [this information corrected by Derek Williams from information in Rev. Edmund Leigh's Bible]

74. EDMUND LEIGH

75. David LEIGH (chr 29 Sep 1738 Caldicott, Mons. - aft 9 Feb 1750 ?Carmarthen)

76. Lettice LEIGH (bef 1740 - bef 3 Feb 1750)

Rev. RICHARD NASH served briefly in Aberdare parish before moving to Caldicott, Mons. where he remained until his early death. His son EDMUND LEIGH later recorded in his Bible the date of death of his father in 1739, and that of his widowed mother ANNE LEIGH in 1758. It is doubtless a comment upon women's status that Rev. RICHARD NASH recorded his own christening of both sons without mentioning their mother's name. The daughter Lettice's baptism is unknown, but the will of her grandfather JOHN LEIGH in 1744 gave legacies to his two grandsons and his "Granddaughter Lettice Leigh." By 7 February 1750 this Lettice must have been dead because she does not appear in the documents giving guardianship of her two brothers to their mother ANNE LEIGH.
