"Edinburgh .. 1717 Marriages
2d March
Alexander Gordon of Pitlurg now in S. W parish and Mistris Margaret Gordon Lawfull Daughter to James Gordon Senior Merchant in S. E. parish"

Note: Other sources refer to the wife of Alexander Gordon 8th of Pitlurg as Jean. James Gordon, senior Edinburgh merchant, did have a daughter Margaret, but her year of birth would appear to make her too young for this marriage. Putting these together, it suggests it was a clerical error to have named the spouse as Margaret. 1 2
