Legg (John), 1755-1802 
John Legg, son of Richard Legg and Jane his wife, was 
born at Market Lavington in Wiltshire in 1755, held property 
in his native town, and died on April 5, 1802. A marble 
tablet is erected to his memory in the chancel of Market 
Lavington Church. John Legg was also the author of A 
New Treatise on Grafting and Inoculation (London, 1780). 
He would appear to have had in hand at the time of his 
death a large work entitled A New and Complete Natural 
History of British Birds , but the MS. seems to have totally 
disappeared ( cf . Memoir of Mr. John Legg of Market Laving- 
ton , Wilts, by the Rev. A. C. Smith. Reprinted from the 
Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine, vol. 
xxviii. p. 5. December 1894). John Legg would appear 
to have borrowed a portion of his title and his description of 
the Woodcock from a small anonymous essay published in 
1703 and entitled An Essay towards the probable solution of 
the Question whence come the Stork and the Turtle . . . g.v. 
under Roberts (Hon. Francis).
