   User ID: J111.

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."

----- Gordon, married William Gordon, fiar of Tillyangus. This may be the William Gordon of Tillyangus, who married on Nov. 26, 1641, Marjory Gordon, 'sister to John Gordoun in Tillideask, now called Wells' (Ellon Register). William Gordon of Tillyangus in 1640 got a patent to raise a company of soldiers for the Government. He made a sensational attack at an inn on the Muir of Rhynie on Father Blakhal while the latter was riding from Strathbogie to Cromar ('Brieffe Narration of the Services done to Three Noble Ladyes,' pp. 105-107). Hugh Gordon and John Gordon, grandson of James Gordon of Tillyangus, emigrated to Vangroba, in Poland, in 1636."
