GORDON, Alexander of Coldwells, elder
(About 1639-) |
GORDON, Alexander of Coldwells, elder 1User ID: B571. General Notes: "...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.) Marriage Notes: "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." |
