"...in Mair, Records of Ellon. The said entry, from the Kirk Session register, was a list of Papists. The said entry reads, in part, as follows: 'In a list of Papists given up by parish ministers, by order of the Privy Council, at the commencement of the reign of Queen Anne; those in Ellon are: Alexander Gordon of Coldwells, his sisters, Jean and Mary, and their mother..' "

Research Notes:
Patrick's People is indebted to the Cheyne family website fordrawing attention to this family. However, there appears to be some confusion there about Alexander Coldwells elder and younger. 2
Alexander married Christina GORDON, daughter of Alexander GORDON 'of Kinguidy' and Marjorie SEATON of Newmachar.1 (Christina GORDON was born about 1664.)

"Christina is given in the birth brieve of John Gordon, 1718, as the wife of Alexander Gordon of Coldwells, Ellon. She was returned as a Papist."
