  Marriage Notes:

"He (George Gordon) married a daughter of John Gordon of Tilphoudie, who was second son of Adam Gordon of Aboyne and his wife Elizabeth, Countess of Sutherland, and by her had :

1. George, his successor (Rec. of Aboyne, pp. 42, 210).

2. Bessie (Temple's Fermartyn, p. 277)."

from Coclarachie

Note:

The Thanage of Fermartyn lists a daughter named Bessie for George Gordon 1st of Coclarachie and also for his son George, but offers no information about who they married. It appears to be the daughter, Bessie, of the younger George Gordon who married Lawrence Leith.




"Adam of Aboyne, who married the heiress of the Sutherland family, and Adam's daughter, Lady Helenor, married a George Gordon of Auchmalidy, apparently of the Auchmenzie family (see Rec. of Aboyne, p. 212), and got Tilphoudie for her portion, and her brother John, who resided at Tilphoudie, had a daughter who became the wife of George Gordon of Coclarachie. (See Rec. of Aboyne, p. 42.)"
