Biography

Sibyl , daughter of Sir James Baskerville, married Watkin Vaughan, son of Thomas Vaughan and Ellen Gethin.

-

Most sources refer to her as 'Sybil', daughter of Sir James Baskerville.[1][2][3][4][5][6][6]

-

She has also been described as 'Elizabeth', daughter of Sir James Baskerville.[7][8][9]

-

Norr[10] placed her one generation earlier as the daughter of Sir John Baskerville and his first wife Cecily Devereux. The Dictionary of Welsh Biography[11] also placed her one generation earlier, referring to her as 'Sybil, daughter of 'Sir John' Baskerville, and grand-daughter of Sir Walter Devereux.

-

James Vaughan, the son and heir of Watkin Vaughan, was born c 1485.[12] If Sibyl was the mother of James Vaughan and the mother of his later siblings then presumably Sibyl was born c 1460-1470. This would suggest she was more likely the daughter of Sir James Baskerville rather than his father Sir John Baskerville who died in 1455.
