1582 Letter (www.dannatt.eu) John (8936)  
In 1582 Aylmer had written to Burghley unsuccessfully soliciting the office of clerk of the Council for Thomas Dannett, whom he extolled for his honesty, sincerity, secrecy and learning. Applying, again unsuccessfully, in 1586, Dannett this time enlisted the help of Secretary Davison. He may have been the Mr. Donett who held a minor common pleas office in 1592.  
Any of Thomas's court connections could have had him returned for Maidstone in 1572, but his most likely patron would be Aylmer's friend Archbishop Parker, who was instructed by the Privy Council to ensure a 'good choice' of burgesses in Kent for that election. Thomas was appointed to committees concerning rites and ceremonies (20 May 1572), benefit of clergy (7  
Mar. 1576) and London goldsmiths (13 Mar. 1576).
