"Margaret (by second marriage) : born December 19, 1783. She married December 11, 1807 (ibid.), John Gordon in Mains of Rhynie (1773-1807), who was the son of George Gordon, farmer, Mains of Rhynie (by Jane, only daughter of George and Isabella Gordon, formerly in Mains of Rhynie). Full details of the Mains of Rhynie Gordons appeared in the Huntly Express of June 9, August 8, 1905, and January 5, 1906. Margaret Gordon is said to have been the heroine of the curious song 'Lintin Lowrin' (Songs of the North, [., 136) :
I sheared my first hairst in Bogend
Doun by the fit o' Benachie ;
And sair I wrought, and sair I fought,
But I wan out my penny fee.
Lintin Lowrin, lowrin lintin,
Lintin Lowrin, lintin lee ;
I'll gang the gate I cam' again,
An' a better bairnie I will be.
Rhynie's wark is ill to work
And Rhynie's wages are bit sma';
And Rhynie's laws are double straught
And that does grieve me maist of a'.
O ! Rhynie is a Hieland place
It doesna suit a Lawland loon
And Rhynie is a cauld clay hole,
It isna like my faither's toun.
She died March 8, 1841, aged 58, and was buried in Auchindoir churchyard."
