71. Rev. RICHARD NASH II LEIGH (chr 18 Oct 1708 - bur 9 Oct 1739
St Peters).
Rev. RICHARD NASH served briefly in Aberdare parish before moving to Caldicott, Mons. where he remained until his early death. His wife is not certain, but she likely was the Mrs. Lettice Leigh who was buried on 21 March 1744 at St Peter’s, her daughter Lettice having been named for her. The Ancestral File gives this Lettice the improbable surname of Getitia for which we found no support of any kind. It is doubtless a comment upon women's status that Rev. RICHARD NASH II 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 II 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 Anne LEIGH, who was likely her step-grandmother.
