I am looking for information on David PITT of Michaelchurch Eskley/St. Margaret’s, Herefordshire.

What I do know about him is that he and his wife Mary (maiden name unknown) had the following children baptized at Michaelchurch Eskley: James, 1739; Jane, 1742; David, 1744; John, 1746; Thomas, 1747; Sarah, 1748; Hannah, 1750; William, 1751; Elizabeth, 1753; Samuel, 1754; and Ann, 1757. On a 1747 baptism his residence is listed as St. Margaret’s and I found a burial for a David PITT at St. Margaret’s 22 March 1786.

I am trying to verify whether my David Pitt is the same individual listed in a Lord Abergavenny Estate lease record of 8 Feb. 1736/37 for land in Upper Mescoed to Thomas CHRISTOPHER of St. Margaret’s and wife Sarah for lives of David PITT, son of Sarah, age 21, and Samuel SANDERS, age 2, and Sarah SANDERS, age 8, grandchildren of Sarah.

I found a marriage record at Michaelchurch Eskley for Thomas CHRISTOPHER of St. Margaret’s and Sarah PROSSER, widow, on 7 Feb 1736/37. And I found a burial for Sarah CHRISTOPHER on 11 Oct 1741. There is another lease agreement in the estate records for 1736/37 in which Sarah is listed as the third life to Thomas PRICHARD and his wife Elizabeth of Clodock.

Is anyone has additional information on any of these individuals, it might prove helpful in my research

I don't know the layout of the churchyard.  The "D3" reference was sent to me by a another researcher who lives in Australia.
