Page 1, line 2, Mistris Anne Fitton, Mayde of Honour to ... Queene Elizabeth.]--A _Mary_ Fitton, daughter to Sir Edward Fitton, of Gawsworth, and _maid of honour to Queen Elizabeth_, is mentioned by Ormerod, _Hist. of Cheshire_, iii. 293; and "_Mrs._ Fitton" is noticed as holding that office in several letters of Rowland Whyte, printed among the _Sydney Papers_. It seems unlikely that the Queen should have had two maids of honour called Fitton; and yet we can hardly suppose that Kemp mistook the Christian name of his patroness. I may add, that an examination of Sir E. Fitton's will in the Prerogative Court has proved to me that his daughter was named _Mary_. P. 1, l. 6, sort.]--set, band.
