[6][7] The son of John Mynne of Woodcote called Nicholas of Horton was a young man in the 1590s, and his parents could not have married before 1557, when his mother was an unmarried waiting gentlewoman in the household of Anne of Cleves.

Ralph Sanders in Generations: A Thousand-Year Family History, writes that:[165]Exactly how John's siblings, William, Nicholas, Francis, and Elizabeth Mynne, were cared for in subsequent years is unclear.

In 1557 she was serving in Anne of Cleves' household as a waiting gentlewoman, together with her married sister Maud (also known as Magdalen) Tatton.

Dorothy was a favourite of her mistress, which led to Anne leaving her £100 for marriage in her will and asking her step-daughter the Princess Elizabeth Tudor to take in her "poor maid", but there is no evidence that this happened.

John married Alice daughter of William Hale and settled various lands and tenements on her, among them the manor-house of Horton; but in order to pay his debts he with the consent of William Hale sold these estates to George Mynne of Lincoln's Inn in London in 1626.

Somerset, alias late of Hutton, Co. Somerset, alias late of Stronde Inne in the parish of St. Clement Danes without the bars of the New Temple, London.
