C.'s Complete Peerage as sister of Lord Ogilvy. She had a whole sister, Margaret Beaton, who married the tenth Earl of Crawford. An important reference to Agnes Beaton occurs in the Great Seal :

1577. Nov. 22. The king confirmed the charter of George Gordon of Schives which 'pro observatione promissi facti quondam Mariote Ogilvy domine de Melgem pro variis gratitudinibus sibi ante complementum matrimonii sui prestitis venditit Agneti Betoun conjugi sue, filie dicte Mar., pro tempore ejus vite' - the lands of Gight and others, to be held by the king. . John Gordon of 'Audiaill' is one of the witnesses."

  Marriage Notes:

"Agnes Beaton, after George Gordon's death, married (before January, 1583) Sir Patrick Gordon of Auchindown, Sheriff-Depute of Aberdeenshire (killed at the battle of Glenlivat, Oct. 1594), the brother of Edom o' Gordon (her first husband's old friend) and of the fifth Earl of Huntly. Thus the Gights and the Huntlys were once more brought together."

from Gight




"As Patrick Gordon of Auchindoun he had a charter from Sir George Barclay of Gartly of the barony of Barkley, co. Banff, 2 April 1582. He must have been knighted not long after, as he appears as Sir Patrick in a charter of the same year.

He and his wife had a charter of Auchindoun and Keithmore 18 December 1590, on the resignation of his brother James, who may have held it in wadset. He sold the lands on 2 May 1592 to Walter Ogilvy of Findlater, who nevertheless got a grant of them as forming part of Sir Patrick's forfeited estates. Sir Patrick was denounced a rebel 22 March 1591-92, for complicity in the attack of Donibristle and the murder of the Earl of Moray, and met his death at the battle of Glenlivet, 3 October 1594.

He married, (see Corrigenda 1 below) before January 1582-83, Agnes Betoun, natural daughter of Cardinal David Betoun and Mariota Ogilvy, and widow (see Corrigenda 2 below) of George Gordon of Gight. By his wife, who survived him, he does not appear to have had issue." (page 539)
