'''Anne Reynolds''' (died 1634) was an English courtier.

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](/source/Anne_of_Denmark), wife of [James VI and I](/source/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](/source/Elizabeth_Kitson) told [Philip Gawdy](/source/Philip_Gawdy) that his nephew [Framlingham Gawdy](/source/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](/source/Mary_Gargrave) and [Elizabeth Southwell](/source/Elizabeth_Howard%2C_Countess_of_Carrick) 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](/source/William_Harvey) to examine the accused women for [witch marks](/source/Witches'_mark).<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](/source/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](/source/John_Chamberlain_(letter_writer)) 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](/source/Burton_baronets) of [Stockerston Hall](/source/Stockerston_Hall) (1580–1655) on 28 August 1617 at [St James](/source/St_James's_Church%2C_Clerkenwell), [Clerkenwell](/source/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>

She died in 1634.
