  General Notes:

" His son, Robert Gordon, seems to have been the first resident proprietor, and to have built a mansion house, whereof the date (1611) still remains, apparently in its original position. He had four brothers, John and Alexander by his father's first marriage, and Thomas and Patrick by his second. He himself was the eldest son of the second marriage. It would appear that one of these brothers - but which, we have not been able to ascertain - became laird of Logie; and that between them there were several agreements as to privileges and servitudes which the tenants of the one were to receive from or give to those of the other. One has survived to the present day, namely, the right of the Corrachree tenants to cut moss fuel on the estate of Logie.

The Gordon families of Corrachree and Logie never recovered from the losses they sustained during the civil wars; and the former, being under heavy money obligations to the Laird of Auchindoir, was ultimately, about 1680, obliged to sell him his property, which afterwards appears in the valuation rolls as: 'The Laird of Auchindoir's lands' "
