Notes

Elizabeth Seaton kept an alehouse called the Butchers Arms, which disappears from the alehouse recognizances after her death. That explains the prevalence of chairs and bottles in her house. The inventory, whose survival is very unusual for this period, suggests a remarkable amount of chaos in the house.

She was bap. 9 Oct 1686, the daughter of Philip Bayly, collar-maker (d.1721) (q.v. for more information about her sister Mary). Anne Bailey was probably the daughter of her brother John, bap. 27 July 1733.

Elizabeth Bayly married John Seaton at Quainton on 9 Jan 1721/2. He was John Seaton, butcher (d.1737), whose will mentions three children, not found in Elizabeth's will. John's will was proved at the same time as Elizabeth's, 21 years after he died. He left her only a life-interest in his cottage in Great Horn Street, which was then to go to his son John. Presumably it was different from the messuage which Elizabeth bequeathed to her sister and niece.

Drudge: utensil used to sprinkle or drudge powder over food, also called a dredging-box (Dictionary of Traded Goods and Commodities, 1550-1820). Flower drudge = flour dredger.

Tunnell = funnel (OED, s.v. tunnel n., 3)

Delph = Delft

Tobacco dish or plate: either a shallow receptacle on which one could stand the tobacco pipe and the other paraphernalia required for smoking, or one in which the tobacco was placed for guests to use (Dictionary of Traded Goods and Commodities, 1550-1820).

potlink: uncertain - perhaps using "link" in the sense of "torch"

Cocks = taps (OED, s.v. cock n.1, 12)

Bobbin wheel: probably the same as a bobbin-winder used in lacemaking

iron Cuckold: not identified

Seaton Papers

Herts RO ASA 27/1

These papers from the Archdeaconry Court records concern the attempt of John Seaton jr, now of Dunstable, to get his father's will proved after his mother's death. Presumably he had not acted before because Elizabeth had a life interest in the property. The papers are given here in the order in which they have been filed, which is not entirely chronological. They cast light on dealings between Winslow and St Albans, issues caused by Stamp Duty, and much else.
