GORDON, Alexander 3rd of Lesmoir
- Born: About 1535
- Marriage (1): FORBES, Anne Mariota
- Died: About 1609
General Notes:
"Alexander III. of Lesmoir, who was born probably about 1538, succeeded his father in the autumn of 1591. In October, 1591, the Earl of Huntly granted precept of infeftment in his favour in the lands of Mekil Coldstone. The only retours of service are one on the lands of Grudie in the barony of Kynnadie dated October 3, 1600, and another dated December 20, 1600, on Glascoforest, which had probably by some arrangement reverted from his brother John to his father.
The name of Alexander Gordon - who got a grant of the lands of Garrochie in 1561 from his father - occurs either as 'apparent of Lesmoir' or as laird thereof not infrequently from 1562 up to a short time before his death, generally in connection with bonds of caution for others to keep the peace."
from House of Gordon 1
Alexander married Anne Mariota FORBES, daughter of Alexander FORBES 5th of Pitsligo, 'the Red Laird' and Beatrix ABERNETHY. (Anne Mariota FORBES was born about 1540.)
