  Marriage Notes:

"Barbara (Gordon) married Sir John Turing, both of them 'recusants,'1623 (Mair's Presbytery of Ellon, p. 67). A royal charter of July 29, 1623 (the year when they were recusants), shows the marriage contract between Barbara Gordon and Sir John Turing of Foveran was dated at Gight, August 3, 1620.

On January 5, 1629, she renounced her right in the Mains of Gight in favour of her father. Her husband was present at the battle of Worcester, 1651, and had been created a baronet, 1639. He lost his lands at Foveran, which his house had held for three centuries. He had by Barbara Gordon a son, George, who was alive in 1644 (Troubles, ii., 330), but predeceased him."

Note:

1652 appears to a typographical error for 1662, as George Turing died before his father and his son John inherited from his grandfather. ^{1 2}
