Early Life
Sibylla Baillie married c. 1497 so must have been born around 1480. Her parents were
William Baillie of
Lamington and
Marion Home.
Sibylla's sister Helen married a Mr Henderson of
Fordel1, a family which is
also in my tree (but which I haven't completed, so I don't yet have this link in there).
The following is from the
Lives of the Baillies2:
Sibilla Baillie married William, son and apparent heir of Archibald Edmonstoune of Duntreath. A Crown charter of resignation3 of the lands of Gartbarrow, with the mill and pertinents thereof, lying in the county of Stirling, was granted in favour of William, son and apparent heir of Archibald Edmonston of Duntreath and Sibilla Baillie his spouse, on 17th May 1497.
This Charter proceeds on a Resignation infavorem by Archibald Edmonstoune of Duntreath. Another charter of resignation of the lands of Over and Easter Argaty and Bednock by David Hume of Wedderburn, of the lands of Corntown by Philip Nisbet of Nisbet, and of the lands of Auchenoch by William Baillie of Lamington, was granted in their favour on 29th July 1506.
Death
Sibylla's husband
William Edmonstone re-married in c1507, so Sibylla must have died some time after the grant of 29th July 1506 mentioned above, and 1507.

Resignation occurred when a vassal surrendered his estate to the superior, either
ad remanentiam, permanently, or
in favorem, where the intention was that the superior should make a new grant, by a charter of resignation, in favour of another, probably a purchaser from the person resigning the land.
