Catherine married Patrick or Peter Russell, who acquired part of Montcoffer in 1680 : he had also some salmon fishings in the Deveron : he died in 1713, and was succeeded by his son Alexander. (See Notes on Moncoffer in a Paper by Dr Cramond, Cullen, read to Banffshire Field Club 13th Nov. 1901.) Patrick's relict Catherine married Francis Gordon, eighth laird of Craig, as his third wife, and Francis died in 1727."
