4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):  

Elizabeth "Betty" Noad was born about 1767 in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, probably a daughter of William and Grace (Crabb) Noad.  Her baptism was not recorded in the Trowbridge church parish records.  

Betty Noad (1767-1814), spinster of Trowbridge, married William Rich (1766-1835), bachelor of Trowbridge, by banns  on 27 January 1788 in Trowbridge St. James with St. Stephen church[1].  John Noad and Thomas Tyrrell were witnesses. They had at least six children, all born and recorded in Trowbridge:

*  John Rich (1790-1868), married 14 February 1815 Rebecca Hill (1790-1863) in Hilperton, Wiltshire.
*  Mary Rich (1793-????), married 1 May 1809 John Hillier (1791-1816) in Trowbridge.
*  Robert Rich (1797-1864), married 29 April 1822 Jane Hulbert (1794-1843) in Trowbridge.
*  Ruth Rich (1799-1887), married 5 August 1822 James Burgess (1789-1859) in Winsley, Wiltshire.
*  Leucretia Rich (1802-????).
*  Martha Rich (1805-1814).

Elizabeth Rich died before 27 November 1814 in Trowbridge, Wiltshire at age 40 (according to the record), when she was buried in the St. James with St. Stephen church yard[2].

NOTE:  The placing of Elizabeth "Betty" Noad as the daughter of William and Grace (Crabb) Noad is supported by the presence of this family in the mid-1760s (five other children were baptized there) and Grace Noad's death in 1769.  The distinctive signature of witness John Noad on the marriage record is essentially the same as the signature of widower John Noad on his marriage record in 1833; John was a son of William and Grace (Crabb) Noad.  The placing of John Rich (1790-1868) as a son of William and Elizabeth "Betty " (Noad) Rich is supported by the baptism record of John Rich in 1790 in Trowbridge, and that William and Elizabeth "Betty" Rich married in 1788 in Trowbridge.  This is the author's current thinking and is subject to change if new information is obtained.
