Her long-awaited fortune that never really materialized is discussed in an extended "literary anecdote" in Biographical Memoirs of William Bowyer, Printer, F. S. A., and Many of His Learned Friends; an Incidental View of the Progress and Advancement of Literature in This Kingdom during the Last Century; and Biographical Anecdotes of a Considerable Number of Eminent Writers and Ingenious Artists, vol. 9 (John Nichols, London, 1815). Whether the more sensational details are true has not been established, and, we suspect, have probably been embellished.
Her will was probated in 1773 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury:
In the Name of God Amen, I Mary Ann Elizabeth Lanove of the Town and County of Southampton widow do make and ordain this my last will and Testament in the manner and form following, First I recommend my Soul to God the Father Almighty, beseeching him to be Gracious and Merciful unto me in the Name and through the only Merits of his most dear and only Son Jesus Christ my only saviour and Redeemer, leaving my Body to the Earth in hope of the most Blessed Resurrection. I constitute and appoint for Executors In Trust of this my Last Will and Testament the Reverend Mr. Isaac John Barnouin Minister of the French Chrch at Southampton and Mr. John Brissault Senior of the Town and County of Southampton and also what Temporal Estate it has pleased God to bless me with after payment of all my Just debts and Funeral Expenses I dispose thereof as follows, that is to say I give and bequeath to Each of my said Executors the Sum of Fourscore Pounds of Lawfull Money.
