   User ID: B381.

  General Notes:

"JOHN GORDON, who was entirely unknown to the family genealogists until his existence was demonstrated in the Records of Aboyne. On Tuesday, 14 December 1406 Elizabeth Gordon, ' the spouse qwilum ' of Sir Nicholas Erskine, Lord of Kinnoull, let her terce lands of Gordon, Fogo, and Strathbogie, and of Kinnoull and Maler, to her son ' Jhone of Gordoun ' for a term of five years. The rent is not named, but was to be as much as John could let the lands for, and to be paid wherever his mother was, or to whom she named. He was probably the 'John Gordon' who had a charter from King Robert III. of the lands of Strathbogie."
