Marriage Notes:
"Margaret (Gordon), married in 1572 to Sir Hugh Campbell of London, Sheriff of Ayr, afterwards Lord of Loudon. The Sheriff paid a visit to his father-in-law at Rusco in 1574, accompanied by his kinsman, Robert Campbell of Kinyeancleugh, the friend of Knox, and John Davidson, afterwards minister at Prestonpans. Kinyeancleugh was seized with a fever soon after their arrival, and died at Rusco in a few days ; and Davidson included an account of the circumstances, beginning with a profession of his inability to tell the order of 'the princely house that we sawe there' with its retainers, in a commemorative poem, printed in black letter, now one of the rarities of the Scottish press. Lady Loudon died on 22 May 1607"
