Notes |
- She gained some notoriety in her day on account of her " officious prophecies,'" as they were called, which led to her being severely treated by confinement for several years in Bethlehem Hospital and the Tower of London. When married to Sir Archibald Douglass, who died without issue, probably in 1647, she was widow of Sir John Davies, the King's Attorney General for Ireland, and author of a poem on the " Immortalily of the Soul," beside whom she was buried in St. Martin's Churchyard, on her death in 1652.
