from Terpersie




"Janet (Gordon), daughter of James of Terpersie, married David Gordon of Achoynanie, 3rd son of Sir John Gordon, 2nd Gordon of Park. This David was brother of Sir John, 1st Bart. of Park, and of George Gordon of Edinglassie, mentioned in a sasine, 1672; he and Janet had a son, James Gordon of Balbithan, who was author of the M.S. History of the Gordons, called the Balbithan M.S. He married 1st Elizabeth, sister of Sir Alexander Burnett of Craigmyle, and had issue; and 2ndly a grand-daughter of Innes of Balvenie, by whom he had a son, Benjamin, who succeeded to Balbithan, and became a General in the army. As the mother of the author of the Balbithan M.S. was a daughter of the laird of Terpersie, it is probable that his information about that family is generally correct."
