Notes:
According to biog dict 2nd edn. she was daughter of Henry Anderton, a small landowner, and was born in Ashby, Leicestershire. She used the alias Hastings, and occasionally used the alias Cornwallis, being distantly related to Cecily Cornwallis. Recent convent research has given her date of death as 1717 rather than 1711 as it appears in this source.
Educated at Munich. She was sent to Augsburg as a pupil in 1662 and entered the community there before travelling to London in 1669 with Frances Bedingfield and to Dolebank in May 1678.
In 1678 she was arrested and committed to York Castle, becoming an out-prisoner before being granted full release in 1685. She was probably a founder member of the Bar Convent in 1686. She returned to Augsburg in 1699. (CK-B)
