from Rathven Marriages
"John Duff of Pitchaish had married, in 1739, Mary Gordon of Letterfourie.
'John Duff, son of Patrick of Craigienach, contracted matrimony with Mary Gordon, daughter of James Gordon of Letterfourie, 7 Aug. 1739.' (1Rose MSS., Advocates' Library, Aberdeen)
They had five sons and two daughters. The eldest. James, born 1741, Patrick, Robert, William, and John ; and two daughters, Margaret and Anne who appear to have died unmarried. According to Imlach's History of Banff they had a house in that town, and their brother Robert, who died in 1807, left annuities to both of £25 yearly. John, who lived till 1828, made his will in 1813, and left a legacy to Margaret only, Anne evidently being already dead. Margaret had died in 1822, and therefore did not benefit {Scots Magazine)."
