"Anne (Baynton), b. (Sarum) Sept. 23, bapt. (St. Edmund's) Dec. 30, 1602; m. by license at St. Edmund's, Salisbury, Oct. 12, 1629, Christopher Batt. Because in all probability no other seventeenth-century English emigrant to America had so many close kinsmen of high rank as Anne possessed, they are partially listed here, at the risk of repetition. Through her great-aunt Bridget Baynton, Anne was the second cousin of the Countess of Suffolk, the Countess of Lincoln and the Countess of Rutland, and the second cousin, once removed, of the Duchess of Buckingham. Through her great-grandfather Sir William Cavendish, she was a great-niece of the Earl of Devonshire, the Countess of Shrewsbury and the Countess of Lennox, and the first cousin, once removed, of Lady Arabella Stuart, the Duke of Newcastle and the Earl of Kingston-upon-Hull. This constitutes an outstanding example of the fluidity of English society, a fluidity which would have been almost impossible in the caste systems of the European continent."

"'Anne Batt, late wife of Mr. Christopher Batt heretofore of ye City of Salisbury, and lately of Boston in New England aged about Seventy sixe yeares' made her will on March 14, 1678/9. In a long religious preamble she notes that she had been brought from 'a more & plentifull estate & condition into a lower' yet cannot but acknowledge God's wisdom therein and also in all her vicissitudes and bereavements. To her eldest son Christopher Batt and his sisters Anne Angier and Jane Tapin she left all the lands etc. in Salisbury and Amesbury, three score or four score acres. One half of this land was to be sold, the proceeds invested by Mr. Edward Rawson for the life of Christopher who was to have the income annually, and, in Mr. Rawson's wisdom, half of the principal as he might need it. The other half of the lands was to be delivered to her sons-in-law Mr. Edmund Angier and Mr. Peter Tapan of Newbury. To her son 'Mr. Samuel Batt minister of ye Gospell in England a booke of my owne experience and motherly Councell' (a rare treasure if it could be recovered), and to his son Samuel 'a little gold ring ye posy of which is ye gift of a friend.' To her daughter, Mrs. Anne Angier, curtains and valance, a great chair (to be repaired), two stools, a diaper table cloth already in her possession, a silk morning coat, worsted stockings. To her grandchild Elizabeth Angier, a chair wrought with bunches of grapes. To her daughter Jane Toppan, a diaper cloth and the coarse napkins belonging to it, a black silk cloak, and, to both daughters, the scarves, hoods and gloves in her box. To her daughter (-in-law) Sarah Batt, a long scarf which she had from her daughter (-in-law) Abigail amongst her scarves and hoods in the chest, Mr. Rogers Seven Treatises, and Dr. Preston (a book) which John Minat borrowed. To grandson Paul Batt, two brass candlesticks and Fox's Martyrs. To her grandson Timothy Batt, her bell-metal skillet to be kept for him by Sarah Batt. To granddaughter Thomas Batt's daughter, three old pewter dishes, a pie plate, a butter plate. To little Sarah Batt, a cupboard cloth and cushion. To Grinnall Rawson (illegible). To Elizabeth Polley, a prunella gown, a petticoat and three blue aprons. To Mrs. Blye's maid, 5s. To Mrs. (illegible) 5s. To Peter Tapan, my other Book of Martyrs. To my trusty and dear friend Mr. Edward Rawson 'my greate Ants picture.' To the daughter of her son Thomas at Watertown, to Timothy and Ebenezer, two silver spoons each. Executor: honored and faithful friend Mr. Edward Rawson, and 'my Dear Son Mr. Edmund Angier to joyne with him.' There are to be no superfluities on her coffin or needless charges. Witnesses: Thomas Bligh, Richard Smith. Mr. Rawson presented a memorandum regarded as a nuncupative codicil, stating that he heard by letter from his cousin, Mr. John Wilson of Medfield, that Mrs. Batt had said to him and Elizabeth Pollev, that her bed and bedding: should go to her son Christopher, and that the mantle and muff that the overseers of her daughter (-in-law) Abigail's estate had given her should go to her daughter (-in-law) Sarah. Also, at another time, she said that anything due her by bill or bond from her son Timothy's estate should go equally to her daughters Angier and Toppan and 'hir son Tomas' Betty daughter hir Grandchild.' Rawson made oath on May 21,1679, on which day the whole will was admitted to probate."
