John Gordon, Viscount Aboyne and Melgum, was burnt at Frendraught Tower in 1630, leaving issue by his wife Sophia Hay, 5th daughter of Francis, Earl of Errol, an only daughter, so the peerage became extinct. Two years later his elder brother George, Lord Gordon, was created Viscount Aboyne, with special remainder to his second son James." Medical Notes: His execution was ordered by the Scots Parliament in Edinburgh. 5 George married Anne CAMPBELL, daughter of Archibald CAMPBELL 7th Earl of Argyll and Agnes DOUGLAS, in 1607.
