"(Cosmo) Gordon married at Jerviston on June 30, 1786, Mary Baillie, daughter of Henry Baillie of Carnbroe ('Scots Mag.,' vol. 48, p. 360). She is described (in the 'Political State of Scotland,' 1788, p. 238), as a niece of John Spens Munro of Earnside, merchant, Glasgow. Her 'exquisite taste,' according to Skene Keith ('Agriculture,' p. 99), endowed Cluny Castle with 'one of the best gardens in the country.' She died May 27, 1791 ('Scots Mag.,' vol. 53, p. 259). On her death, Gordon presented to the parish church of Cluny two communion cups, 'in consequence of an intention expressed by his amiable and accomplished spouse, Mary Baillie, who was unexpectedly carried off by a putrid fever after a few days' illness on the 27th day of May, 1791, in the 23rd year of her age' (Jervise's 'Epitaphs,' ii., 130)."
