  Marriage Notes:

"William Gordon in Delmore [which is quite close to Drumin Castle, near the junction of the Avon and the Livet, but on the opposite side of the latter, four miles north-west of Tombae. The name to-day is given to a double cottage near to the stone where Dr Chalmers preached to the people at the Disruption, not far from Inveraven U.F. Church. The name, however, seems to have originally belonged to a ruined steading a quarter of a mile nearer Drumin. At one place, one version of the ' Balbithan MS.' calls William 'in Achmoir.' The Privy Council Register notes (1st series, vol. vii. p. 67) a William Gordon 'in Dalmoir' in 1605. William of Delmore wrote 'A genealogical account of the family of Gordon and their cadets, with a note of their lives and fortunes.' It was in the possession of James Man, the Aberdeen historian, but all trace of it has been lost. Man says there was ' little in it but mere genealogy till we come to 1630,' but that would have made it intensely interesting]. He married Isabel Grant and was killed by ' some of the Clan Chattan in Dellmoir.' He had four sons"
