Prioress of the White Nuns of Brewood. In 15 Hen. VII (1500) John Newport of Arkall 
Magna Esq. has a receipt from Lady Anne Newport widow for L5 in full payent of an 
annuity. The lady was probably either the widow (i.e. third wife) of his father William

John Leighton and Ankaret his wife, another of the daughters who had also 
predeceased him, (3) Isabella the wife of Sir John Lyngen of Lyngen co. Hereford, 
knight, the third daughter, and (4) Elizabeth the wife of Thomas Mytton Esq of 
Shewsbury, the fourth daughter, or rather her husband and son William Mytton, for she 
herself had died before he partition was made. This partition was carried into effect by 
an indenture dated 12 May 1501, the contents of which are preserved in the Hengwrt
