Mr. Patrik Cheyne, baille was mentioned in Miscellany of the Spalding Club, Volume 5, 1592-1593. A boy was paid to delivery a letter to him, asking him to return to the burgh in regard to his duties as Baillie.

Mr. Patrick Cheyne, Baillie was made a burgess of Aberdeen, 17 September 1595. His abstracted entry from a footnote reads 'Sept. 17, 1595. -- The said day, the Prouest, Baillies, and Consall, vpon certan reasonabill considerationis moving thame, grantis and gaue to Mr. Patrik Cheyne, Baillie, ane persone to be maid burgis of gild of this burgh gratis bot any compositioun, C.R. xxxvi., 311'.
