GORDON, Adam of Auchindoun 1 2

  • Born: About 1598
  • Died: After 1642

  General Notes:

"THE following Tack by Alexander Gordon of Cluny corrects the mistake into which genealogists have fallen in regard to the
seniority of the children of George, first Marquis of Huntly. Lawrence Gordon, in whose favour this Tack of the Teind Sheaves of Meikle Coldstone, &c., is drawn up, had Sasine on the lands of Cabrach, and pasturage thereof, on 16th March 1605 (Aberdeen Sasines,vol. iv.). John Gordon, who, with Sophia Hay his spouse, had Sasine on the lands of Aboyne 8th July 1626, afterwards became Viscount Melgum and Aboyne, and was burnt at Frendraught Tower in 1630, was fifth son instead of
second, and Adam Gordon, who had Sasine of the Lordship of Aboyne on 19th March 1605, was third son. Adam Gordon granted renunciation of the lands and Lordship of Aboyne, in favour of his father, on 22nd June 1620, and six years later his brother John was infeft in the lands and living of Aboyne (Aberdeen Sasincs, vols, ii., v.)."

"Adam of Aboyne. He resigned the lands of Aboyne on 22nd June 1620, and was henceforth styled of Auchindoun.
