General Notes:
"William's eldest daughter, Magdalen (Gordon) was born 'Saturday the 13th of Jun. 1702 about halfe 12 att night. She was called Magdalen after her Ant'. She succeeded her father as VII. of Birkenburn, having with her husband had sasine therein in 1740. The author of the Chronicles of Keith states that she and her two sisters were coheiresses. This is improbable. Perhaps Magdalen and her husband bought up her sister Helen's share." (page 148)
"Fearing he (Magdalen's son) would go into the army, his mother did not rest till she got him married, though young, and thereupon made over the estate of Birkenburn to him, retiring to a cottage she had built upon it for herself. There she resided for some years till it was burned down, and thereupon removed to Keith, where she died in 1783 (Information from Professor Cooper)." (page 149)
