Francis married Elizabeth MENZIES, daughter of Sir Gilbert MENZIES of Pitfodels and Anne GORDON 'a Woman of Excellent Beautie', about 1652.1 (Elizabeth MENZIES was born about 1625.)


  Marriage Notes:

"Harperfield gives the approximate date of his (Francis Gordon's) first marriage by telling us that it was 'on his return to Scotland in 1652 ;' and that his wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Gilbert Menzies of Pitfodels, and that besides the son (Francis) she bore him a daughter,"

from Gordons of Craig 1

Francis next married Jean GORDON, daughter of William GORDON of Corrachree and Unknown, in 1664.1 (Jean GORDON was born about 1635.)


  Marriage Notes:

"Harperfield states as to this laird, 'Infeft in the estate of Craig by Precept from the Superiors, 27 Augt. 1650, he was educated in France, and by the intestine Commotion of the country [Scotland] during the Civil War, he lost irretrievably some part of the family estate. Upon his return to Scotland in 1652 he married 1st Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Gilbert Menzies of Pitfodels': he then gives their issue, and continues, 'he married in 1664 Jean, daughter of William Gordon of Corrachrie' (perhaps of the Tillachowdie family, to whom Correchrie belonged in 1623, see 'Rec. of Aboyne,' p. 275), and gives their issue two sons."

from Gordons of Craig 1
