from Gordons of Salterhill




"He (William King) married, in the year 1734 - second, Marjory Gordon, daughter of Alexander Gordon of Dykeside, by his wife Margaret Brodie, by whom he had a family of ten children, of whom six died young. Those who attained maturity were as follows : -

Margaret, born 19th September, 1735, married Dr. Alexander Munro, but had no family ; William, afterwards of Newmill, born 6th October, 1736; Barbara, born 12th October, 1741, named after her aunt, Mrs. Anderson of Linkwood, married to William Stewart of Lesmurdie, and had issue, Francis, Alexander, and William, and a daughter, Marjory, married to Peter Farquharson of Whitehouse ; and Joseph, afterwards of Newmill, born 13th July, 1744. In addition to the property which Mr. King acquired as heir to his father, he in 1718 adjudged from James Stewart of Castlehill, the lands of Castlehill, Rashcrook, and Tomshill, in Birnie ; and in 1741, through his wife, Marjory Gordon, he succeeded to the lands of Dykeside, Eastertown of Tullybardine, Hillhead, Newton of Birnie, and Mill of Birnie.

Mr. King, in his early days, was a strict Episcopalian, but finding that the clergy of that persuasion were generally disaffected to the Government, he became a Presbyterian, preferring his loyalty to his religion, and he brought up his family as Presbyterians. [....]

She (Marjory Gordon) was also interred beside her husband in the Greyfriars, where a monument was erected to their memory, on which the following inscription was placed :

'To the Memory of William King of Newmiln,
who died the 21st day of October, 1764, aged seventy-two years ;
and of Marjorie Gordon, his spouse,
who died the 7th day of March, 1798, aged eighty-six years.
This marble is dutifully inscribed by William King, now of Newmiln, their eldest son'."
