Quotes from James Wynbrandt

August 26, 1557, noted that Mrs. Dawson, widow of one Bryckette, a tooth-drawer, as per orders, "shall paye no quartryge to the hawse nor hange oute any signe or cloth with teethe as she heretofore hath done." Her offense: after the death of her husband, she remarried, yet carried on his trade, becoming the first woman dentist known to history.
