"On July 23, 1612, Sir Thomas Hamilton of Byres, the King's Advocate, and Alexander Bannerman of Waterton, and others, complained to the Council that Patrick and Adam Gordon, brothers of George Gordon (later 6th) of Gight, pursued Bannerman and his friends for their lives in Aberdeen and wounded two of Bannerman's servants. Moreover, they 'daily since this assault and insolence hes borne and worne hagbutis and pistolletis, and ridden and gon thairwith publictlie and avowedlie in all pairtis' of the country to attack pursuers. The Lords find defenders guilty of the assault and wounding, and ordain them therefore to enter in ward in the Tolbooth of Edinburgh, there to remain at their own expense till further order be taken with them in the matter, but assoilzie them from the charge of having worn hagbuts and pistolets, pursuers having failed in proving that particularly."
"In June, 1612, Adam (Gordon of Gight family) and his friend Francis Hay of Logierieve, who was to kill him three years later, and his brother Patrick Gordon, attacked Alexander Bannerman of Waterton and two of his servants 'to the effusion of thair blood in grite quantities' (Privy Council Register)."

The husband of Elizabeth Johnston was George Bannerman, not Alexander. He succeeded his father, Alexander, in 1609.
