"William Gordon is credited by the Balbithan MS. with having been twice married to ladies of the family of Grant : (1) Janet Grant, whose parentage is not stated ; and (2) 'Grant of Auchorachan's daughter.' 'Elspet Gordon, goodwyff of Minimor,' witnessed a baptism on April 7, 1640. She seems to be the 'gentlewoman (spouse to Mr Gordon of Munmore') who, when Huntly was captured at Delnabo, December, 1647, took him word to Blairfindy that the men of the country would rescue him. (Illustrious Family of Gordon, ii., 546.)"
