Note:
'Craigencat' is found elsewhere in Scotland. This instance is almost certainly referring to a farm in Cabrach parish. Not only John Gordon was resident there. Compare this from a rootschat conversation:
"Adam Gordon and Jean Marishall were both "in this parish" when they married in 1755 at Cabrach. Their 4 children were all born at Oldtown of Cabrach. Frances (son) bpt. 5th Aug 1756 - wit John Gordon in Craigencat, Adam Gordon in Piketillom. James bpt 26 Sep 1758 - wit James Gordon in Dalriach, James Gordon in Hillock of Echt.
