Nee Pantin. Married first to Abraham Buteaux whom she survived to carry on business as his widow until marriage the following year to Benjamin Godfrey. Mark entered, 29 June 1741, presumably on Benjamin's death. Address: Norris Street, Haymarket, where Heal records her till 1758.

Her work, which has survived in considerable quantity, shows, as might be expected, strong Huguenot characteristics of design and fine execution.
