GORDON, William 5th and last of Tillyangus 1
- Born: About 1650
- Died: After 19 March 1574 1
User ID: J104.
General Notes:
"A William Gordon got sasine in Tillyangus in 1663-1664.
Also a William Gordon and spouse got sasine in Tillyangus 19 March 1674.
But Harry Gordon of Auchlyne [in parish of Clatt, and of the Terpersie family] got sasine in Tillyangus same date, probably in connection with some money transaction...
Soon afterwards it seems to have been acquired by a Forbes, one of the great family which the Gordons were long at feud with. For in the Poll Book 1696 under 'Telongous, parish of Clatt' we find 'William Forbes, heritor, valuation, £125 : his poll £4:6:0: his wife and daughter 12/-' (Vol. I., p. 471.)"
from Memorials of the Family of the Gordons of Craig
Note:
As well as being descended from a common Gordon ancestor, the Gordons of Tillyangus and those of Auchlyne shared a common ancestor in Patrick Stewart of Laithers whose two daughters married Gordons in the respective families. 1
