    Died 14 Sep 1659 
    • From monument in Loddiswell Church (as recorded by Stabb)
      Katherine suffered the same fate as her eponymous aunt, dying shortly after her marriage, and is commemorated on the same monument:

      "The tablet on the north side has the inscription:- To the Memory of Katherine daughter of Richard Langworthy of Lizewell in the parish of Widecombe, Gent deceased, and wife to Richard Wood of Coombe in East Allington, Gent, and also of Anne Fursland one of the daughters and Heires of Walter Fursland of Bickington, Gent, deceased, who both departed this life September the 14th 1659.

      "Reader behold here lye inter'd together
      Whom neither life nor death it self could sever
      Yea two at once, the one had marryed heen
      Scarce thrice nine dayes, the other has not seen
      Twice ten yeares told, Till by a glance of eye
      Death both wife and maid in Grave both lie
      How soon doth Greenwood shrinke and Fursland wast
      And turne to ashes with Deathes flaming blast,
      But yet though Death the soule and body parts
      It cannot once divide true lovers hearts
      Adieu dear soules, for ever live in rest
      Love to each other, next to God is best." "
