  Marriage Notes:

"James Gordon, III. of Abergeldie.

(Son of II. : killed at Pinkie, 1547.)

On April 24, 1523, the young laird, 'having arrived at the years of "discretion and marriage," petitioned his guardian [Walter Ogilvie in Boyne] that he might be "coupled" in lawful matrimony. Ogilvie . . . offered him his choice of two damsels in every respect equal to himself Janet Sinclair and Elizabeth Ogilvie' (Records of Aboyne, p. 221). But he scorned them both and married Janet Leith, daughter and coheir of George Leith of Barnes, and widow of Alexander Seton of Meldrum. He was returned heir to his father only on October 6, 1534. In 1528 he had confirmation of a charter by John Stewart, Earl of Buchan (his uncle or grandfather), of the lands of Grandoum, Auchmull, Perslie, and others (Great Seal)."
