  Marriage Notes:

"He (John Taylor Gordon) married, 1855, Margaret Grant (see Note below), daughter of Robert Watson. In October, 1860, Mrs Gordon, 'the lady of Nethermuir,' laid the last keystone of the railway bridge at Cairncummer, Nethermuir, in 'true Masonic style.' The 'Aberdeen Journal' (Oct. 24, 1860) says that her 'workmanlike way of handling the hammer called forth the unbounded applause of the Masonic brethren who constructed the bridge, and who, along with many others, were witnesses of the ceremony,' Mrs Gordon informed me (Oct. 23, 1900) that her husband 'did not give much attention to genealogy, being content to know that he was a man of a really good family.' John Taylor Gordon was succeeded by his only son John Maxwell Gordon."
