  • Notes 
    • From British History Online's entry on Eynsford:
      Elizabeth Sibell, the daughter, in the 24th year of queen Elizabeth, married Robert Bosevile, esq. afterwards knighted, the younger brother of Henry Bosevile of Bradborne, and son of Ralph Bosevile, of that place, clerk of the court of wards; and he, on her mother's death, became, in her right, possessed of Sibell's, with the manors of Littlemote and Petham.

      From Archaelogica Cantiana1:
      Elizabeth, only dau. and heiress, bapt. at Eynsford 2 Jan 1566; named in her father's will; mar. Robert Bosvile of Eynsford in 1582, whose descendents became possessed of all the Sybill lands in Eynsford and Farningham etc. Adm'on of her father's goods granted to her in the PCC 30 April 1586.

      Elizabeth Sybil married Robert Bosvile in 24 Queen Elizabeth, 1582, according to Hasted. The marriage is not recorded in the Eynsford Register, though the baptisms of their children are to be found there. The first entry is: "1588, 13 March, Elizabeth daughter of Robert Bossevile christened." That they lived at Little Mote seems clear, from the reference to "Mr. Bosville’s house at Enysforde" by the anonymous writer in Stowe MS. 620, who describes the heraldic glass in the "parlour" windows. Robert Bosvile was afterwards knighted, but no record has been found of his wife’s death or burial, in spite of diligent search.

      Note that Elizabeth was only 14 when she married (her husband, Robert Bosvile, was 27).

      Death
      As mentioned above, death dates for Elizabeth are not to be found, but that hasn't stopped many Ancestry trees from using the 13th of September 1602.
