Marjorie married Captain William GORDON 4th of Tillyangus, son of James GORDON 3rd of Tillyangus and Magdalen GORDON, on 26 November 1641.1 2 (Captain William GORDON 4th of Tillyangus was born about 1608 and died possibly about 1662.)
Marriage Notes:
"William Gordon of Tillyangus got sasine on 3rd August 1641 in Tillyangus, and Marjorie Gordon, his spouse, got sasine in the same on same date; this may have been on their marriage or on William's succession. I take Marjorie to be the lady mentioned in the Balbithan MS., p. 56, as a daughter of Sir James Gordon of Knowen [otherwise Knaven or Knawen], the son of David Gordon of Nethermuir, as Sir James's daughter is there said to have married the fiar of Tillyangus. On the above supposition, viz., that this sasine was granted on their marriage, William must have been 'fiar' up to or after 1641 : this implies that at that date he was the acknowledged heir of the third laird."
