“Sacred to the memory of Captain ROBERT WATKIN LLOYD, of
major-general Gwynne’s regiment of cavalry, only son of Robert Lloyd,
Esq., of Swan Hill, aged 17. He fell a victim to the yellow fever,
on the 26th of June, 1794, at Port au Prince, in Saint Domingo,
having survived the capture of that place. In him were united a mind
firm and vigorous; a disposition kind and benevolent; manners
engaging and mild, giving promise of a character which might one day
have added lustre to his profession; have adorned the circle of
polished society, and have sweetened the enjoyments of domestic
life.” “Sacred also to the memory of ROBERT LLOYD, Esq., of Swan
Hill, father of the above-named Robert Watkin Lloyd, who departed
this life on the 3rd day of October, 1803, aged 58. By that event,
his family lost an affectionate husband and father; the county an
upright magistrate; and the public an amiable man.”
A monument at the north end of the chancel:
“ROBERT POWELL LLOYD, son of Robert Lloyd, of Swan Hill, Esq., by
Sarah, his second wife, died 11th March, Anno 1769, and was interred
in the vault beneath, aged 5 years. SARAH, mother of the above R. P.
Lloyd, died 19th of August, 1790, aged 59 years; also ROBERT LLOYD,
Esq., the father, died 5th of April, 1793, aged 72 years.”
A neat tablet at the same end:
“Sacred to the memory of THOMAS TREVOR, clerk, M.A., son of Roger
Trevor, of Bodynfol, in the county of Montgomery, Esq., Vicar of this
parish 50, and of Ruabon, 15 years; chaplain to Sir W. Williams
Wynne, baronet; and one of his Majesty’s justices of the peace for
the counties of Salop and Denbigh, who died the 29th of February,
1784, aged 76. Of manners unaffected, he performed the service of
the church with a peculiar grace; and by a propriety of elocution,
attracted the attention, and raised the devotion of his hearers. He
was an active and upright magistrate, tender husband, kind relation,
and steady friend. He married twice—first, Elizabeth, daughter of
Edward Maurice, of Trefedrhyd, in the county of Montgomery, Esq.,
11th June, 1762; afterwards, Anne, daughter of Gabriel Wynne, of
Dolarddyn, Esq., and relict of George Robinson, of Brithdir, Esq.,
both in the county of Montgomery, who survived.”
