Horoscopes of the Lawton family, with their explanations, Written in the first half of the 17th century
File
MS. Aubrey 30
Horoscopes of the Lawton family, with their explanations, much injured in parts. The names remaining are:
- Lettice (b. 1597)
- An (b. 1600)
- William (b. 1602)
- George (b. 1603)
- William (b. 1568)
- And another William
The first and most elaborate is of a lady whose name is lost. Fols. 1-2 are a parchment leaf, once the binding of the book, and bear part of a plea between William Cowde and Thomas Lowstun of about 1600. There is no trace of Aubrey in the volume.
