Jacobee married Colonel Alexander GORDON in the Scots Brigade in Holland, son of John GORDON of Ardmachar, 4th of Gight and Marjory GORDON.¹ (Colonel Alexander GORDON in the Scots Brigade in Holland was born about 1545.)

  Marriage Notes:

"The issue of this Alexander (Gordon) is not quite clear. According to the Balbithan MS. he married 'a gentlewoman in Holland, and begat with her

(1) CAPTAIN ALXR GORDON in Holland. This Alexander married in Holland, and begat A son, who was a captain anno 1633.' According to Mr. James Ferguson's History of the Scots Brigade there was an Alexander Gordon in Captain James Scott's company in 1639.

Sir Robert Gordon (Earls of Sutherland, p. 180) gives a different account of Alexander Gordon's issue. He says that he 'mareid Jacobee Pedralis of Aungadere, ane Italian gentlewoman, by whom he had tuo sons' :

(2) GEORGE.

(3) CAPTAIN JOHN, who was slain in Holland. There is a good deal in Mr. Ferguson's Scots Brigade about a Captain John Gordon who was reported in 1609 to have been absent from his regiment for six months. His company fell into a very bad state and was discharged. In 1618 his case was still before the States of Utrecht, to whom he made references to the services done by his father in Brabant. The Captain John Gordon mentioned in the Earls of Sutherland had according to that authority (p. 180) a son,

ALEXANDER."
