User ID: B562. Christian married George GORDON of Rhynie, then of Sheelagreen, son of John GORDON of Newton and Margaret UDNY, before 1622.1 (George GORDON of Rhynie, then of Sheelagreen was born about 1593.)

(p. 52) and the Newton MS. say the 'goodman of Rhynie, George Gordon,' married Christian, daughter of George Gordon, III. of Coclarachie, by Bessie, daughter of James Duncan of Merdrum. This was before 1622. The Book of Annual Rentaris gives some confirmation of this marriage, for at a Court held in Aberdeen by the sheriff depute, February 20, 1634, Bessie Duncan made a declaration through her son, Dr. William Gordon, that she was 'restand to Alexander, Mr. Hugh and William Gordouns, her children, Mr. Robert Bisset of Lessendrum, George Gordoun of Raynie, and William Seatoun of Hadow equallie amongst them 600 merkis,' these being her three younger sons, and the husbands of her three daughters {Spalding Club Misc., iii., 123)." |
