GORDON, Beatrix 1User ID: C591. Beatrix married Alexander GORDON of Birkenburn, son of James GORDON of Lesmoir and Margaret STEWART.1 (Alexander GORDON of Birkenburn was born about 1516 and died probably by 15 January 1570 1.) Marriage Notes: "Birkenburn married (2) Beatrix, daughter of James Gordon, III. of Abergeldie, who was also killed at Pinkie. She had the liferent of the lands of Knock in Glenmuick in 1556, when she seems to have become the wife of Birkenburn; and was apparently alive in 1588 (House of Gordon, i. (78); Records of Aboyne, pp. 80, 222). The 1600 Gordon MS. calls her Catherine and the Reg. Episc. Moraviensis (p. 396) makes her Janet, and relict in 1570, but this is probably an error, arising from the prior occurrence of this name in the same deed." |
