     Marion Cheyne was baptized, 4 October 1573, in Aberdeen, Saint Nicholas Parish, Aberdeen, Scotland.1

A Marioun Cheyne was mentioned in Powis Papers in a description of living conditions in an Aberdeen tenement in Shiprow drawn from title-deeds. That probably was Marion (9190). The paragraph in which she appears reads in part "The rooms mentioned in 1608 were the hall, the chalmer above the hall, the galrie chalmer, the Jack chalmer and the kitchen loft. There were the laich hous, the mid hous, and a peit hous or shed. The furnishings were meagre. In the chamber above the hall there were three "standand beddis"; in the hall "a meat buird with the traistis" (a dining table and trestles) "tua furmes, ane bak furme ane meat almerie" (two benches and one bench with a back and a meat cupboard)...in the Laich hous there was a bed of oak, and in the midmost hous occupied by Marioun Cheyne a standand bed and a press. In the peat hous there was a panline (panelling) and an oak door...".2
