Marriage Notes:
"It seems as if Robert Gordon was twice married, his first wife being 'Lady Rannes.' At any rate, he appears to be the Robert Gordon 'in Cuffurach' on whom the minister of Fordyce reported to the Presbytery of Rathven on Feb. 21, 1666, that when he was preaching at Rathven on the last Lord's Day, an 'abominable rvott' had been committed by Robert Gordon in Cuffurach and John Gordon in Thorniebank, offering violence one to another in the church after sermone and in the churchyaird to the great dishonour of God, contempt and profanation of His Sabboth and ordinance.
On March 24 Robert Gordon petitioned the Presbytery to cause his proclamation of banns with the lady of Rannes to go on, which six of the elders impeded. The Presbytery allowed the proclamation to go on, but Gordon was not to receive the benefit of marriage until he satisfied them about the riot. On April 11 he denied the riot. One witness said that after divine service he saw the two Gordons 'as they were comeing from ther seats to the church door tackling one another.' Thereupon, George Gordon of Thorniebank, as a Justice of the Peace, commanded Robert Gordon to desist in the name of the king. After they were outside the church Robert Gordon drew a pistol to 'strick the sd. Jhone, and he drew a durk to strick him, hot no evil followed therefrom, they being separated.' Robert Gordon was found guilty by the Presbytery, and commanded to make public repentance on two Sundays. They also granted him permission to marry Lady Rannes on condition that he promised to frequent 'the ordinances in tyme comeing, haveing (as is alleged) been a dishaunter of them formerly.' Gordon gave a bond of 500 merks to hand, and was married to Lady Rannes by the Bishop of Argyll on May 22 (Cramond's 'Church of Rathven')."
