QUIGLEY, James ¹

James married Peter QUIGLEY, son of Peter QUIGLEY and Mary Ann AIRLEY. (Peter QUIGLEY was born on 31 Jul 1861 in Central District, Glasgow, Scotland ².)

  Marriage Notes:

"His (John Gordon's) son John Gordon 3d (?) Laird of Pittlurge married Jannet Ogilvie of Cullen's daughter, with whom he begat a Son John Gordon of Pittlurge."

from Balbithan MS

Note:

As with many family genealogies, the numbering of the lairds can differ between the older secondary texts and the modern listings.

This is particulary noiceable with The Thanage of Fermartyn which designs the Alexander Gordon who sold the estate in the eighteenth century as 11th of Pitlurg.

This comes as a result of designing John Gordon of Essie's son, also named John Gordon, the 1st of Pitlurg.

The Balbithan MS designs that John's son, married to a daughter of Alexander Forbes 2nd of Pitsligo, as 1st of Pitlurg.

The fact that succeeding lairds were named John may also have affected numbering in earlier times. ^{3 4}
