  Marriage Notes:

"Catherine (Gordon) married John Keith of Clachriach (Great Seal), who was murdered, December 2, 1589, at the Justice Port, Aberdeen, by her brother, William. This led to a feud between the Gordons and the Keiths. She was probably the mother of William Keith (brother of George Keith of Clachriach), who (with her nephew, John Gordon of Ardlogie) waged a deadly war on Leask of that ilk, 1616."

from Gight

Note:

1

John Keith was killed in 1587, not 1589.

2

Other sources than the above place the murdered John Keith as the grandfather rather than the father of the William Keith who was killed in 1617.
