Anna married William OLIVER.1 (William OLIVER was born about 1620.)


  Marriage Notes:

"Anna: married William Oliver. This marriage gave rise to a curious case in the law courts..... On June 7, 1654, there was a sheriff's caption (following on horning of
March 20, 1654) against George Gordon of Newton at the instance of Anna Gordon, his lawful daughter, and William Oliver, her spouse, for 1000 merks under obligation of date November 21, 1629; caption dated June 7, 1654. Apparently the 1000 merks was Anna's tocher, and the 'obligation' would be her matrimonial contract."
