Biography

Christina (Halyburton) Haliburton was born in Scotland.

Christina was the daughter of Walter Haliburton^[1] probably by his wife Marjory Douglas.

She married, in 1440, George Leslie, first earl of Rothes^[1][2] They divorced in 1459.^[1][2][3] They had issue:

1. Adam^[4]
2. Elizabeth^[2][4]
3. Christian^[4]

Research Notes

Given Christina's marriage in 1440, one can infer her birth before 1428., As her mother (or step-mother) died about 1420^[5] one can place the birth even earlier, prior to 1420.

James Balfour Paul says on the section on Dirleton that Christina is the daughter of the younger Walter Haliburton^[1], but in the section on Rothes has her as the brother.^[2] From the dates, it appears that the Dirleton version is correct. This error seems to have originated with Robert Douglas.^[6]
