    3. Sibilla Ogilvy, wife of John Butter and John Falconer, was the  daughter of John Ogilvy of Powrie and Elizabeth Scrymgeour  NAS: CC3/3/3: Testament-testamentar of Elizabeth Scrymgeour, relict of  John Ogilvy, dated 21 February 1613 (Brechin Commissary Court):        Her  testament gives to daughters Margaret, Elizabeth, and Sibilla, “hail  feddr beds shets blainkats Plaids covering to convtingis taweth uther  fuvuthers of beds pre[sent]lie tening to her p[er]”.  So she had an unmarried daughter named Sibilla.  Elizabeth  Scrymgeour’s executor was her brother John Scrymgeour, Constable of  Dundee.  Dundee City Archives:  Protocol Book of James Wedderburn 1610-1622,  fol. 21v and 24v, in Jack Blair, Ogilvy of That Ilk: Ogilvy of Powrie:  A Genealogical History of an Angus Family from Its Ancient Origins to  the 17th Century, (Dundee:  Tay Valley Family History Society, 2006) ,  page 33, citing the marriage contract:        Sibilla married John Butter of  Gormack.  Their marriage contract was signed at Dundee on 26 June 1615  where she was described as sister german to Thomas Ogilvy of Powrie.  Sir John Scrymgeour of Dudhope, Constable of Dundee, was the  cautioner.  The Burgess Roll of Dundee -1513 to Present (http://www.fdca.org.uk/  LockitF.pdf):  John Falconer was made burgess of Dundee on 23 March 1623.  Comments:  Since John Falconer was in Dundee in 1623, as was Sibilla  Ogilvy, the opportunity to marry each other presented itself.  NAS: GD137/62:        Precept of Clare Constat by John Scrymgeour of Dudop,  Knight, constable of Dundee, for infefting Mr Alexander Wedderburn,  now of Kingenie, as heir of the deceased Mr Alexander Wedderburn elder  of Kingenie, his father, in all and whole a feu ferme of £8 yearly  furth of that land or tenement of the late James Ferriar burgess of  Dundee, lying in the said burgh, on the north side of the Moray gate,  between the lands of the heirs of the late Robert and Thomas Jacks, on  the east, the lands of the heirs of the late Thomas Gardin on the  west, the common meadow on the north, and the lands of the heirs of  the late James Lovell on the south  Dated at Dundee 9 April 1628: witnesses Andrew Pitcairn servitor to  the granter, John Falconar, son of Sir Alexander Falconar of  Halkertoun, knight, and Thomas Wichtan, notary. Signed by John  Scrymgeour and the above witnesses.  NAS:  CC3/3/5:        Testament Dative of Sibilla Ogilvy, confirmed 18 August  1635 (Brechin Commissary Court):  Her testament mentions her spouse  John Falconer, son of Sir Alexander Falconer of Halkerton; David  Falconer, “onlie heire Laulie procreat betwixt thame”; credits from  Archibald Butter of Gormack, brother of Sibilla’s first husband John  Butter, and a debt to John Scrymgeour of Dundee, undoubtedly her uncle  who was cautioner at her first marriage.  NAS:  CS11, Minute books of the Court of Session, First Series, Hay:  Falconer qr Butter ob. 4 November 1635:        Unfortunately, the  corresponding book of deeds where this was recorded no longer exists.  It probably involved the debts owed by Archibald Butter of Gormack,  brother of John Butter, first husband of Sibilla Ogilvy.
