Biography
Anne Herdson was born about 1540. She was the daughter of Henry Herdson [1] and Barbara Watson. [2]
She married firstly, in about 1555, Thomas Sexton, merchant, of London. [3][4]
She married secondly, on 14 November 1559 at St Dunstan's in the East, George Stoddard of London. [5][1][6]
Thirdly she married John Barker, MP of Suffolk. [1] She was John's second wife.[6]
Anne died in 1610 and was buried on 25 August 1610 at St Dunstan in the East, City of London, England.[7]
Her will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on 28 August 1610.[8]
Research Notes
- The National Archives has estimated the year of Edward Watson's letter to his niece Anne Herdson (apologising for non-attendance at her wedding to Thomas Sexton) as 1561.[3] In fact, this marriage must have taken place in 1555 (or earlier), as Thomas Sexton is mentioned in her father's will,[4] and Anne is not, strongly implying they were already married. Donnelly-2171 05:38, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
A record of marriage is noted to a Thomas Sexton.[9]
It is recorded that Henry Herdson (Hudson) of Muscovy Company fame, made a visit to London in 1658, also a record of Anne, the daughter of Henry Herdson, of London, who married a George Stodard, of London. Anne naturally bore the arms of her father, which were: Argent, a cross Sable between four Fleurs-de-lis Gules (BGA, 1889: 481).[10]
