User ID: B954.
General Notes:
"James Gordon, III of Achlochrach .... married Anne MacWilliam, daughter of David MacWilliam, alias Stewart, the younger of Achmore, and granddaughter of James O'Laggan. The Birnie MS gives some curious information about the MacWilliams, whose history is now being minutely investigated by and industrious London genealogist, Mr. H. Duff Macilliam, of Harrow View.
David was a branch of the Stewarts of Ballechin in Athole, and his grandfather, William (and hence the appellation of 'MacWilliam') left that country in consequence of a feud with some of this neighbours, and exchanged his property there with the Earl of Athole, who was then proprietor of Balveny and Pittvaich, the mill, and some of other lands about that place to be held in feu."
