  Marriage Notes:

"In a somewhat obscure birthbrieve, dated February, 1703, relative to the descent of the two sons of Patrick Gordon of Harlaw, son of an Alexander Gordon of Kincraigie, the latter is said to have married Marjorie Gordon, daughter of William Gordon of Terpersie by his 'wife' Margaret Gordon of Auchannachy. If for 'Auchannachy' we read Auchanacie, the reference is clear enough, for the Leichestoun Gordons were connected with Auchynachie"
