Marriage Notes:
"The other John (Gordon), the Lieutenant-Colonel, figures in the List of Pollable Persons in Aberdeenshire, 1695 (ii., 289), where the 'laird of Gight' is stated to be 'Livetennent-Collonell John Gordon' (to the amount of £996 135s 4d. Scots). His wife is stated to be 'Dame Mary Gordon,' and his daughter 'Mrs. Betty Gordon'." (page 109)
"The 8th Laird's daughter, MARIE. Marie Gordon married Lieut. - Col. John Gordon. In a single page manuscript deduction of the Newton family, in the possession of Mr. A. M. Gordon of Newton, it is stated that John Gordon, son of James Gordon of Newton ('who married Auchmacoes daughter'), married 'the Ladie Gight'. This clearly means the Marie Gordon who puzzled me so much." (Additions and Corrections. Ixxvii)
from House of Gordon (vol 1 Gight)
"John, 'who married the Ladie Gight'. Temple (Fermartyn, p. 264) calls him 'James,' but this is evidently a mistake in copying the Newton MS. This is evidently the 'Livetennent Collonell John Gordon' who appears in the Poll Book as 'laird of Gight,' and who puzzled the compiler of the Gight pedigree [House of Gordon, i., (270)]. His wife, Mary Gordon, was sister of Sir George Gordon, IX. of Gight." (pages 317-318)
from House of Gordon (vol 2 Newton)
Note: Although Marie is described in the excerpt above as "sister of Sir George Gordon, IX. of Gight", this is clearly an error. On page 109 of Gight the authors quote
"1687. June 22. Sasine on Charter under the Great Seal to Marie Gordon, only
lawful daughter procreated between Sir George Gordon of Gight and Elizabeth
Urquhart, his spouse"
"GORDON
