"2. Anna Gordon, baptised May 28, 1689. Anna, Countess of Aberdeen (who was a daughter of George Lockhart of Tarbrax), and Lady Christy Grant being godmothers. ('Name of Dingwall Fordyce,' 1885, p. 153). She married October 25, 1711 William Dingwall, the first laird of Brucklay (born in 1676?), who was the son of Arthur Dingwall, of Brownhill, in the parish of Monquhitter (Ibid., p. 66). A gravestone in the churchyard of New Deer records that 'William Dingwall of Brucklay, Esq., also his lady, Ann Gordon of Nethermuir, died in one week in May, 1733, leaving six sons and three daughters all under age. As a Justice of the Peace he was a zealous Protector of his Neighbours and the Poor from every specious [sic] of Fraud and Oppression' (Henderson's 'Aberdeenshire Epitaphs,' i., 407)"
from The Gordons of Nethermuir
He (William Dingwall) was married on the 25th October, 1711, to Anna Gordon, daughter of John Gordon of Nethermuir, in the Parish of New Deer. Of this marriage there appear to have been six sons and three daughters. Of one of the sons we have no account. The whole had soon to push their way by their own exertions. The circumstances in which they were left orphans are thus noticed on the gravestone in the churchyard of New Deer, already referred to:
'William Dingwall of Brucklay, Esq., and his lady, Anna Gordon of Nethermuir, died in one week in May, 1733, leaving six sons and three daughters, all under age.' " (page 66) from Family Record 1 2 4
