  General Notes:

"The Gight family had been so unlucky in the matter of male issue that the estates reverted, in the person of the fourth laird, to a son of the first, for the third laird, who left an only daughter, was succeeded by his uncle, John Gordon, who had held the lands of Adiell in Strichen, and also those of Ardmachar.

1577. Oct. 20. John Gordon of Audiaill witnessed charter by which George Gordon of Gight made provision for his wife, Agnes Beaton (Great Seal, Nov. 22, 1577).

1581. July 31. John Gordon of Adiwill was served heir of entail to his nephew, George Gordon of Gight (Retours).

1581. Nov. 21. John Gordon of Adiell (or Adiwell) was served heir special to his nephew George in the lands of Schives with superiority (Inquisit. Generates)."

from Gight 1


John married Marjory GORDON, daughter of James GORDON of Lesmoir and Margaret STEWART.1 (Marjory GORDON was born about 1524.)


  Marriage Notes:

"The Balbithan MS. says John married the first laird of Lesmoir's daughter. Captain Wimberley, in the Gordons of Lesmoir (p. 17), calls her Marjory. Patrick Grant of Rothiemurcus was surety, March 3, 1592-3, for Marjory Gordon, 'relict' of John Gordon of Gight, in 500 merks, not to assist the Catholic Earls (Privy Council Register)."
