About Anne Porter

She was the daughter of Sir Thomas de Lyttelton and Elizabeth Lyttelton. Her father Sir Thomas was born a Westcote but took the name and position of his wife’s family to fulfill a marriage contract. Her mother Elizabeth was heiress of the Lyttelton estates.



(1) Thomas and Elizabeth (Littleton) Wescote had four sons and four daughters: Thomas, Guedo, Edmond, Nicholas, Ann (who m-Thomas Porter, Esquire, of Barston, in Warwickshire), and three others. With the death of the second Baron Thomas de Littleton, the paternal line of his distinguished old family became extinct.



According to Archdall's Peerage of Ireland (1789), the eldest daughter of Elizabeth Littleton was Anne Littleton, who married Thomas Porter of Barston, Warwickshire and was buried there in 1506.

Betham's Baronetage (1801) also has Anne Littleton marrying Thomas Porter of Barston.

Burke's Extinct Baronetcies (1844) follows the same line: Anne Littleton marrying Thomas Porter.

"Thomas Porter, of Barston, co. Warwick (ob. 1499), married Anne (ob. 1506), sister of Sir Thomas Littleton, K.B., the great Lawyer and writer." [Shakespeareana Genealogica (1869), by George Russell French, p. 491]

Anne Littleton married Thomas Porter of Barston, co. Warwick "and lies buried in Barston chapel." [Biographica Britannica (1760)]
