"Patrick Gordon, the succeeding laird, was a noted free-booter. He levied blackmail over many parishes, and did not hesitate to annex property according to his erratic will. He believed that might was right, and followed -

The good old rule, the simple plan,
That they should take who have the power,
And they should keep who can.

The parish of Cushnie received considerable attention at his hands and those of his followers. In 1647, before the Commissioners of the General Assembly, he and a confederate 'acknowledged their accession to the rebellion, humbly upon their knees.' In 1651, he married Jean, eldest daughter of Sir Robert Arbuthnott of that Ilk, and widow of Alexander Burnett, younger of Leys. He died in Aberdeen, 'of sore disease,' on 16th January, 1666 (Row's Diary), 'and was buried in the Gordon's Isle in the Cathedral Kirk of Oldmacher, being Laid down by my Lord Gordon's side who was killed at Alford being both of them very Intimate in their life, and brave men as the age produced, and now no doubt are more ardent in Love and affection in heaven.' (Balbithan MS.)"
