  Marriage Notes:

"Alexander Gordon married Anne Leith, the heiress of Harthill (Newton MS.), about
1652, and got sasine in that half of Polquhyte called Hillside, the same day. Anne Leith seems to have been a daughter of John Leith and Jean Forbes, probably the daughter of Abraham Forbes of Blacktown (Davidson's Garioch), but it is not clear how she could be called 'heiress of Harthill'." (page 315)

from House of Gordon

"Anna, married to Alexander Gordon, brother of William Gordon of Newton ; and
also a son who predeceased him ... " (page 461)
