"John Gordon of Kennertie seems to have died prior to 1593, when William Gordon of Kennertie becomes bound not to assist the Earl of Huntly. On 17th July 1603, William of Kennertie is surety in 2000 merks that William Gordon of Abergeldie will not harm John Stewart and others in Ballogan (Ibid., vi., 795). In same year there is renunciation by Mr. William Leslie of Cuiley of the lands thereof in favour of William Gordon of Kennertie (Aberdeen Sasines, vol. Hi.). Next year, Alexander Calder of Asloun becomes cautioner in 500 merks that William Gordon of Kennertie will not slay salmon in forbidden time.

The Marquis of Huntly, wishing to consolidate his property, redeems various lands, and paid the sum of 5000 merks, 'guid and usual current Scottis money tauld nummerit and delyverit' to William Gordon of Kennertie for his lands of Braeruddoch and Craigton. The Laird of Kennertie, who grants the following Renunciation and Discharge, died before 6th June 1628, when his son, William, was retoured in the lands and Barony of Kennertie, viz. : Meikle and Mid Kennerties, Muirtowin, Carntoun, with the fishings of the lands of Auldtoun of Kennertie and Shepherd's Croft, the two Crofts of Burnside, and the Croft of Waterside - extending of old to £3; new extent, ; £12 (Inquis.
