The document below is the Prerogative Court of Canterbury copy of the will, dated 8 March 1561 and probated 8 May 1561, of Anne Watson, mother of the poet, Thomas Watson (1592).
Item, I do will and desire that my daughter, Elizabeth, may be with my Lady Laxton, and she to have her portion, putting in sureties for the same till she come to lawful age or day of marriage;
Item, I will and desire that my daughter, Maudelyn, may be with Mistress Lodge, and he to have her portion in like manner;
According to the online edition of The Dictionary of National Biography, Lady Laxton (d.1576), to whom Anne Watson entrusted the upbringing of her daughter, Elizabeth Watson, was one of the wealthiest women in London, and Lady Laxton’s daughter, Anne (nee Luddington) Lodge (1528-1579), widow of William Lane, grocer, to whom Anne Watson entrusted the upbringing of her daughter Maudelyn Watson, was the mother of the dramatist, Thomas Lodge (1558-1625). Sir William Laxton (d. 1556), mayor of London, was the son of John Laxton of Oundle, Northamptonshire. . . . Laxton became one of the wealthiest London merchants of his time.
. . . By the terms of Laxton's will of 17 July 1556, his estate after the death of his widow was to be divided among his own right heir, his niece Joan Wanton, and the three children of his wife, Joan, from her marriage to Henry Luddington: Nicholas, Joan, and Anne. . . .
Laxton's widow, one of the wealthiest inhabitants of London, a substantial purchaser of real estate, and a powerful matriarch, died in August 1576.
Her burial in Aldermary church is thus noted in the register : " 1576, Sept. 10, The Ladie Laxton, widow "
