| Her husband purchased the barony of Lethen, and bestowed it on her in conjunct fee, apparently 26 February 1606.11 | ||
| Her testament and later will is dated on 30 December 1643 at Ballachastell. She was greatly respected, and she seems to have had much force of character. Taylor, the Water Poet, visited her and her husband at Castle Grant, and was very much struck with her charms and attainments. From a list of books given in her own hand it appears she had a good library, and poems in her handwriting show her poetical tastes.12 | ||
