Anne Batt's wine license

One of my favorite tidbits to trot out is the letter of Mrs. Anne
Baynton Batt of Boston to Lord Clarendon in 1664:

F. J. Routledge, ed., _Calendar of the Clarendon State Papers Preserved
in the Bodleian Library_, 5 vols. (Oxford: Clarendon Press,
18[_]-1872), 5: 420 has an interesting reference to a royally-descended
Massachusetts immigrant:

Sept. 1 [1664], Boston. Anna Baynton to Clarendon. Loyal professions.
Asks favour for a poor widow. Her father had a wine licence confirmed
by Sir Lionel Cranfeelde, afterwards Lord Treasurer, for three lives.
Writer forfeited it through her trustee failing to pay some part of the
rent to the wine office. Hopes the King has not empowered the new
commissioners to annul this grant. Asks him [Clarendon] to consider
her desperate case and get this licence restored to her.

Presumably this is the same wine license mention in Lechford's notebook
circa 1639, although Anne and her sisters seem to imply there that it
was a grant to them, not to their father:

Katherine "Barriton" must really be Baynton, and as for Elizabeth
Maddocks, we find the following extracted IGI entry:

St Edmund's, Salisbury, Wiltshire

--William Maddocke to Elizabethe Baynton, 16 Nov. 1626

Although, rather oddly, the extracted IGI provides only the four
Baynton baptisms below for St. Edmund's, Salisbury:

--ELSABETH <BAYNTON>, dau. of Ferdinand, 27 FEB 1603
--BAMFEILD <BAINTON>, son of Ferdinand, 08 SEP 1606
--HARRY <BAINTON>, son of Ferdinand, 23 JUN 1607
--HENRIE <BAYNTON>, son of Ferdinand, 31 MAR 1611

So where are Anne and Katherine?
