User ID: B388.
General Notes:
"William (Gordon), who, in 1490, exchanged with his brother Adam the lands of Aboyne for those of Schivas."
from Scots Peerage (vol 4)
"On December 6, 1512, the king confirmed the charter by which William sold to Alexander Gray, burgess of Aberdeen, the lands of Newton of Schivas (Great Seal). This deal may explain the fact that Sir William was elected a burgess of Aberdeen in 1511-2, along with Robert Anthone, tailor (Miscellany of the New Spalding Club, p. 45). It shows that William was borrowing money and that the worthy burgess of Aberdeen had money to lend."
