   User ID: P60.

  Marriage Notes:

Memorials of the Family of Gordon of Craig and Notes on the Cabrach identifies Anne Reid, daughter of Patrick Reid of Haughton, as this James Gordon's second wife.

James Gordon's life was apparently very short so it may be this description of Anne Reid as second wife is erroneous.

John M. Bulloch in House of Gordon says little about this James Gordon and any wife he might have had, but does mention a daughter:

"James ' of Tillyfour, in the parish of Tough' (Balbithan MS.). He was killed in ' the late unnatural rebellion '. He married Anne, daughter of James Sandilands, III. of Craibstone, and had : -

James, III. of Auchlyne.

A Daughter (Morgan's Woodside, p. 161)."

So the exact number of marriages into which James Gordon entered, and who was the the mother of the daughter listed is unclear.
