"James Gordon of Knaven. The Balbithan MS. calls him 'Sir James of Knaven,' and says he married Elizabeth Jamieson, 'alias Johnston,' and had two (see Note below) sons and a daughter : -

(1) Patrick Gordon. (2) Thomas Gordon. (3) John Gordon, 1. of Coldwells. (4) Gordon, married William Gordon, fiar of Tillyangus.

from Gordons of Nethermuir

Note:

The author, J. M. Bulloch, first says 'two sons', as does the Balbithan MS, then lists three sons. This is likely a simple oversight, or it may suggest that the third son did not share the same mother as the others. ^{1 2}
