Bulloch in pages 106-107 of Gight places 'Marie' as the daughter of the eighth laird of Gight, George Gordon, and outlines her marriage to Lieut.-Colonel John Gordon. This is corrected in different ways.

At the end of his section on the ninth laird of Gight, Sir George Gordon, he states:

"The ninth laird had an only daughter MARIE GORDON, X. of Gight." (Gight, page 108)
