She was a daughter of Robert Reynolds (d. 1635), a gentleman of London.

In 1600 she married Thomas Havers, a merchant tailor and collector of customs known as a customer. She became a friend of Anne of Denmark, wife of James VI and I.

She had several children with Havers, naming her daughters Mary and Sophia (d. 1621) after the queen's daughters.

In 1605 Elizabeth Kitson told Philip Gawdy that his nephew Framlingham Gawdy had formed an unsuitable connection with a "Mistress Havers". It is not clear if this was the same person. Gawdy had connections to Anne of Denmark's household, acknowledging Mary Gargrave and Elizabeth Southwell as cousins.<ref>Isaac Herbert Jeayes, ''Letters of Philip Gawdy of West Harling, Norfolk, 1579-1616'' (London, 1906), pp. xvi, 158-9.</ref>

Her second son Charles Havers (b. 1606) married Mary Baker (b. 1608), a daughter of one of the royal surgeons Alexander Baker, in November 1626.<ref>Joseph Lemuel Chester & George Armytage, ''Marriage Licences by the Bishop of London'' (London, 1887), p. 178.</ref> Alexander Baker (d. 1635) is best known for his role in the Lancashire witch trials of 1634, selecting midwives to be trained by William Harvey to examine the accused women for witch marks.<ref>John Bruce, ''Calendar State Papers Domestic, 1634-1635'' (London, 1867), pp. 98, 129-30.</ref> Charles Havers quarreled with his father-in-law, who left Mary Havers his little portative organ in his will and cancelled litigation against Havers provided he did not abuse his wife.<ref>Harry Bristow Wilson, ''A History of the Parish of St. Laurence Pountney'' (London, 1831), p. 227: Will, TNA PROB 11/169/105.</ref>

Havers died in August 1616 during an epidemic described as a "new ague or sickness". John Chamberlain wrote that Havers had died, "a customer, better known than esteemed for his wife, a fine minx that is the Queen's woman".<ref>Norman Egbert McClure, ''Letters of John Chamberlain'', vol. 2 (Philadelphia, 1939), p. 20 "a fine mincks".</ref>

She married Sir Thomas Burton of Stockerston Hall (1580–1655) on 28 August 1617 at St James, Clerkenwell.<ref>Robert Hovenden, ''Register of St James Clerkenwell'' (London, 1887) p. 44.</ref> She was the mother of Sir Thomas Burton, 2nd Baronet (1622–1659) and other children.<ref>Harry Bristow Wilson, ''A History of the Parish of St. Laurence Pountney'' (London, 1831), p. 227: John Nichols, ''History and Antiquities of Leicestershire'', 2:2 (London, 1798), pp. 817-8.</ref>
