Biography
Margaret (Hepburn) Sinclair was born in Scotland.

She married Henry Sinclaoir on 4 Dec 1488.[1][2]
Margaret died before 8 Nov 1543.[2]
Research Notes
- It seems that there has been a merge of two separate women named Margaret Hepburn with the surviving biography detailing the more ancient of the two:
Margaret's father is Adam Hepburn[3] and her mother is Janet De Borthwick. Margaret was married to Sir Alexander Cunningham, Lords of Kilmaurs and Glencairn. [3]
- The elder Margaret Hepburn now has her own profile and it is hoped the two will not be conflated again.

Someone pre-1500 authorized really needs to remove this particular relationship.
The confusion has probably come about due to duplications in father's name over 4 generations, e.g.
Patrick; Sir Adam of Hailes; Patrick (1st Lord Hailes); Adam
I believe the dates for the latter two are actually for the earlier two Partick/Adam. I'm happy to research this further and post more detail in due course. Also Margaret would have been 4 on the birth of her son William?!!
