   The subjoined extract refers to the individuals mentioned under (h) and (1)
   Kent Contributors to a Loan to the King in 1542 (Archaeologia Cantiana, Vol. XI.): John Sibill of Lee, gentilman, £10. Nicolas Sibill of fferningham, esquier, £5.
   The following items of information should here be mentioned, though I have not succeeded in identifying the persons named with any members of the Sybill pedigree given above :— 
   1391. John Sybil! of Horseheath, co. Cambridge, outlawed (see below, 1430) at the suit of Margaret, Countess of Norfolk. (Ministers’ Accounts, Gen. Series.)

1415, 6 August. Will of William Sybile of Lidgate, co. Suffolk, etc., in the P.C.C. (30, Marche). Contains no mention of any Kentish lands or connections. It was apparently this man who is mentioned in a Chancery suit (Calendar Chancery Proceedings, Queen Elizabeth, vol. ii.,
