  Marriage Notes:

"He (John Duff, 6th of Muldavit) left two sons, George and John, seventh and eighth lairds of Muldavit. The first resigned his lands in favour of his brother. He was commissioner for the burgh of Cullen, and, according to the Acts of the Parliament of Scotland, was present with other commissioners at the Toibooth, Edinburgh, in 1593.

According to Baird he never married, but later researches have elicited the fact that he married Isobel, daughter of Patrick Gordon of Drummoy, and had a daughter Isobel, who married another Patrick Gordon, son of Cairnburrow (Gordonstown Tables, House of Gordon ii). He is not known to have had any sons."
