Bequeathed £5 in the 1734 Will of her great-grandfather Henry Evan of Maesygarnedd.
In 1767 Elizabeth, called her father's second daughter, was bequeathed £15 in his Will.
In 1798 Elizabeth was co-executor and a beneficiary of her husband's Will.
-------------------------------------
Elizabeth had a brother Evan William, living in 1797 (named in her husband's Will as Brother in Law). Elizabeth and Evan married siblings. Evan William was a witness at Elizabeth's marriage to Edmund Lloyd in 1760. Probably this Evan William was present at the marriage of Edmund Lloyd's nephew, Evan Lloyd of Cilcychwyn, to Catherine Jones, in 1797. Evan William was one of those who took inventory of Edmund Lloyd's goods and chattels after he died. Evan William in his 1803 Will, nominated Evan Lloyd of Caenest (Elizabeth's eldest son) as a Trustee.
