GORDON, Alexander 3rd of Birkenburn 1 2
General Notes: "James Gordon, according to the Balbithan MS., had four sons : Alexander married Margaret GORDON of Drumbuilg, daughter of Thomas GORDON of Seggyden, Hon. Burgesss of Aberdeen and STRACHAN. (Margaret GORDON of Drumbuilg was born about 1583.) Marriage Notes: "The third laird of Birkenburn married Margaret, daughter of Thomas Gordon of Drumbulg (Balbithan MS., p. 45). The fact that the first laird of Birkenburn should have married the laird of Abergeldie's daughter is extremely interesting as a light on the probable connection between the Lesmoir Gordons and the properties of Grandholm and Kethocksmills on the Don." |
