GORDON, Adam 7th of that Ilk 1 2
Another name for Adam was DE GORDUN, Adam 7th of that Ilk. User ID: X94. General Notes: Adam de Gordun married an Englishwoman named Marjory. Through her he possessed an estate in England, which meant he had to do homage to the English King, Henry III. Adam married Marjory of England.1 (Marjory of England was born about 1252.) Marriage Notes: "ADAM OF GORDON, of whom little is known. He is named in a charter by his son, and this is almost the only reference to him on record. Ferrerius says he was the son and successor of the so-called William, and that he died on 14 September 1301. This is very precise, but it seems more probable that he was the Adam Gordon who deceased in or before 1296, and whose widow, Marjorie, received, on 3 September 1296, an order from King Edward I. of England for restitution of her rights in the Berwickshire lands. This suggests that Adam Gordon was of the patriotic party, and that his lands had been forfeited, but on this point all is conjectural." |
