David married Margaret ROSE, daughter of Hugh ROSE 9th of Kilravock and Agnes URQUHART.^{1 2 3} (Margaret ROSE was born about 1518.)

  Marriage Notes:

"David Baillie married the fourth daughter of the ancient and noble house of Rose, barons of Kilravock, a family allied to, and descended from the best blood of the Highlands of Scotland."

from Baillie of Dunain




"A sixth daughter of this mariage (Hugh Rose and Agnes Urquhart) was first maried to Patrick (see Note below) Rose, Provost of Nairn, and after his deceass, to Bailzie of Dunean."

from Family of Rose

Note:

There was one laird of Braidley named Patrick, but he was the fifth laird and lived two generations later. This is probably a slight authorial error here.




"The oldest existing document, so far as known, goes no further back than 1554, when the name of

4. David Baillie, Constable, is mentioned, and of his wife, Margaret Rose of Kilravock. At same time, the name of Alexander, 3rd, father of David, as Constable of Inverness and Sheriff Depute, is found in the Sheriff Court Records as early as 1534.

Colonel John Baillie of Dunain, after referred to, gives, in his MS. account of his family, the names of Alexander and William Baillie as the first and second of Dunain, as I have stated above.
