Anna married Alexander GORDON of Hillside of Polquhyte, son of George GORDON 3rd of Newton and Janet LESLIE, about 1652.1 2 (Alexander GORDON of Hillside of Polquhyte was born about 1625.)


  Marriage Notes:

"Alexander Gordon married Anne Leith, the heiress of Harthill (Newton MS.), about
1652, and got sasine in that half of Polquhyte called Hillside, the same day. Anne Leith seems to have been a daughter of John Leith and Jean Forbes, probably the daughter of Abraham Forbes of Blacktown (Davidson's Garioch), but it is not clear how she could be called 'heiress of Harthill'." (page 315)
