Lady Anne St. Leger, granddaughter of Sir George de Neville, K.B. and K.G., fifth Baron of Abergavenny. Through Anne, the Digges family traces their descent from Edward III, King of England (see "Americans of Royal Descent"), from William the Conquerer, and from the older Scottish kings; also from Queen Margaret of Scotland (the canonized saint), and Pope Innocent IV.

"The Digges monument was destroyed in the Great fire of London in 1666 but the tombstone with its inscription remains. "Anne ST LEGER, mother of Sir Duidley Digges, knight. Master of the Rolls. A modest, humble and prudent lady was buried here in the Year of our Lord 1636 at the age of 81".
