  Marriage Notes:

from House of Gordon

Note: There can be confusion about who John Gordon of Knockespock because a sale of the land took place and the designation shifted from one Gordon branch family to another. The dating of this episode around the 1620s, and the personae involved in it, make it clear it was the original Knockespock John Gordon in question. The square brackets are the author's.
