  1. 1.  Elizabeth Meachin was born before 1731; died in 1779.

    Notes:

    Younger daughter and husband of William Meachin by Elizabeth, daughter of .... Bury. Will dated 29 October 1778, proved 28 July 1779 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Doctors Commons, London.

    For the Meachin family and pedigree see 'Aldenham Genealogical Collections', Vol. A, p. 439 and Vol. CI. p. 427. Her portrait was supposed to be in a picture bought by Lord Aldenham in 1912 (by Sir Godfrey Kneller) of three children, which was labelled 'Mary, Elizabeth, and William, children of William Meachin', but, as she is only known to have had sisters Catherine and Margaret, and no brother is recorded, the identity is doubtful. Her will was proved by George Abraham Gibbs and William Gibbs; power reserved to John her eldest son.

    Elizabeth married Captain John Gibbs, of Topsham on 13 Jan 1751/52. John (son of Abraham Gibbs, of Topsham and Sarah Lyle) was born in 1725 in Topsham, Devon; died on 20 Jul 1774 in At Sea. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
