  Marriage Notes:

"On 21st August 1601, there is Precept of Clare Constat by George, Marquis of Huntly, directed to John Gordon of Bonte, for infefting John Gordon of Auchmenzie, as nearest and lawful heir male of the late Patrick Gordon, his father, in the lands of Tilphoudie and Tillybreen holding of the granter and his predecessors. This Precept is dated at Bog of Gight, and the witnesses are : - John Gordon of Newton, John Gordon in Rhynie, Adam Duff, apparent of Torriesoul ; and James Anderson, notary (Aboyne Charter Chest).

Another Precept of Clare Constat, by the Marquis of Huntly, of date 23rd January 1602, for infefting said John in the lands of Dalwhing and Wratoun, is directed to Adam Gordon in Balnagown, and is dated from 'Tullochgoudye,' being witnessed by the parties above mentioned (Ibid.).

John of Tilphoudie was retoured as heir to his grandfather, George Gordon of Tilphoudie, in the lands of Little Folay in the parish of Fyvie, on 29th November 1610 (Inquis. Special Aberdeen). The following is Contract whereby, for the sum of 7000 merks, John Gordon of Tilphoudie renounced and surrendered the lands of Dalwhing and VVratoun to the Marquis of Huntly. He becomes bound to 'cause his spouse, Bessie Cheyne, to renounce her conjunct fee, liferent, or other rights belonging to her,' thus shewing of how little avail were parchment settlements in those days."
