"12. Lucy (?) (Gordon) married James (?) Mowat of Balquholly (Balbithan MS.). Mr. Hay in his Sinclairs of Rosslyn says that 'Lucy Gordon, daughter of the laird of Gight,' married 'James Mowat of Balquholly,' and had a daughter Margaret Mowat, who had two illegitimate children (Patrick and John) to the Hon. William Sinclair, second son of the fourth Earl of Caithness. These boys were legitimated in 1607. The second of them Rev. John Sinclair, was the ancestor of Sir John Sinclair, the compiler of the Statistical Account of Scotland, and of the present baronet of Ulbster, and the Archdeacon of London."
