Biography

Anne Baynton, daughter of Ferdinando Baynton, Gent., and Jane Weare, daughter of John Weare alias Browne,[1][2][3] was baptized 30 December 1602 at St. Edmund's, Salisbury, Wiltshire.[4][5]

Anne received a bequest of a silver cup, a gilded leather cushion and a silver spoon in the will of her grandmother Dorothy Weare alias Browne in 1625.[6]

Marriage and Children

Anne married Christopher Batt[1] of Salisbury, Wiltshire,[3] at St. Edmund's, Salisbury on 12 October 1629[7] (by allegation dated that same day).[2] They had seven sons, and three daughters, the first five born in England:
  1. Anne, married Edmund Angier[2][3] on 12 June 1657 at Cambridge.[8][9][10] Anne was baptized 1 August 1630.[11]
  2. Jane, married Dr. Peter Toppan[2][8] at Newbury on 3 April 1661 and died there in 1710.[12] Jane was baptized 18 December 1631.[13]
  3. Christopher,[2] baptized 22 September 1633;[14] living in Dover New Hampshire in 1662;[8][9] living in March 1678/9, when his mother's will was written.[15]
  4. Thomas,[2] baptized 23 July 1635;[16] died before 20 February 1679 when his estate was administered;[8][9][17] married Lydia Benjamin.[18]
  5. Elizabeth,[2] baptized 1 November 1636; died 6 July 1652.[8][9][19]
  6. Samuel,[2][15] died in England in 1684.[8][9]
  7. John,[2] born 4 March 1641[8][9][20]
  8. Paul,[2] (twin) born 18 February 1643;[20] died by July 1678, when his will was proved;[21] married Sarah[8][9] Wilson.[22]
  9. Barnabas[2] (twin) born 18 February 1643;[20] died in London in 1671;[18] estate administered in 1671.[8][9]
  10. Timothy,[2] died before 29 April 1679;[8][9][23] married Abigail Bayes.[18][24]
In the will of Christopher's grandfather Henry Biley, written 18 October 1633, he names among his heirs, grandson Christopher Batt, son of Thomas, and his great grandchildren, Christopher, Anne and Jane, children of the above Christopher.[8][9]

New England

In May 1638, Christopher, Anne and their family immigrated to New England aboard the Bevis and settled at Newbury, Massachusetts, later at Salisbury, Massachusetts, and finally at Boston, Massachusetts.[2][25]
Christopher died 10 August 1661 at Boston. He was accidentally shot by his son, who had been shooting in their orchard.[2] Christopher Batt wrote his will on 19 November 1656, naming his wife Anne sole executor. It was proved 19 September 1661.[26][27]
In 1664, the widow Anne Batt wrote to Lord Clarendon, requesting his help in restoring a wine license formerly granted to her father, Ferdinando Baynton.[2]

Will

Anne Batt, of the church of Salisbury, lately of Boston, widow of Mr. Christopher Batt,[15] left a will dated 14 March 1678/9 and proved 21 May 1679.[2] In it she left bequests to: [15]
  • eldest son Christopher
  • daughters Anne Angier and Jane Toppan
  • sons in-law Edward Angier and Peter Toppan
  • son Samuel, 'minister of Excellence in England'
  • grand daughter Elizabeth Angier
  • daughter Sarah Batt
  • grandson Paul Batt
  • grandson Timothy Batt
  • grand daughter, Thomas Batt's daughter
  • to 'little Sarah Batt'
  • ____ Rawson
  • Elizabeth ?Polley
  • Mr. Blyos
  • friend Mr. Edward Rawson
  • to Timothy Batt and Ebenezer

Research Notes

Children

In the articles by J. Henry Lea, he attributes a daughter Abigail died in 1678/9, daughter Sarah living in 1679 and son Ebenezer, likely from Anne's will. (None included here.) I believe this Abigail is actually the wife of her son Timothy and not her daughter, both Timothy and Abigail died about 1678/9, her estate inventory is that of the 'tailor shop' and linked to his probate case. (see noted probate records) Ebenezer may be actually the son of Timothy and Abigail, who had 3 sons, Timothy, Ebenezer and Barnabus, born at Boston. Daughter Sarah, could be their child, but could also be Sarah the wife of son Paul Batt who died in 1678. - Chris Hoyt, 16 February 2021

I plan to do some work soon on this profile on behalf of the Magna Carta Project
posted by Michael Cayley
I have now finished this work - just really editing citations and adding some weblinks for them.
posted by Michael Cayley
Added probates and children by birth order or estimated birth order, but left the original list in case someone does not approve of the list.

Also added a note regarding children listed by J. Henry Lea, that are not included here as they appear to be errors.

Thanks, Chris. I have moved the para on dubious children to a research note and added your name at the end so people know who the "I” is
posted by Michael Cayley
Thanks Chris. I'll consolidate the lists of children ... no need for 3 of them, IMO.

Now they are out of birth order again?

Thank you!

Hi Ellen

I am checking profiles to see if they have listed the Royal Ancestry 2013 edition as a source. This profile only has the RA 2nd edition. So, I am just putting this information in Post Comment for the manager to add to the profile, if desired.

I happen to notice Richardson's is using different spelling for (Bainton-1), he is using Anne Baynton. I thought the manager might want to add Richards spelling, too.

Thank you, Ellen, for asking for clarification!

@Anonymous: Is there new information you are wanting to add to this profile, or is there something in the profile that you want to add an inline citation to?
