Marriage Notes:
"In 1847, James Paterson published a brief account of the family in his 'History of Ayr' (i., 220-1), based apparently on information from the laird of that period, John Taylor Gordon, who had transferred his main interest and his residence to an estate in Avrshire. Paterson's account runs thus: ....
.... IV. Patrick Gordon of Nethermuir, who married Anna Strachan, and had issue Patrick John William" (page 5)
"One of the witnesses to the bond was Mr William Straquhan, minister of Daviot, probably a relation of Anne Strachan who married Patrick Gordon, IV. of Nethermuir." (page 14)
"Paterson ('History of Ayr,' i., 220) states that George, the anti-Covenanting laird, was 'succeeded by Patrick Gordon of Nethermuir, who married Anna Strachan' " (page 22)
"When the Poll Tax was taken up in 1696, 'Patrick Gordon of Nethermoor' appears, 'his part of the valued rent of Nethermoor being .£153;' his spouse, Anna Strachan, and 'William Gordon, his sone in familia,' figuring at six shillings each." (page 24)
"Patrick Gordon married Anna Strachan, who was alive in 1696 ('Poll Book,' ii., 10). She was granted sasine on the lands of Knaven, the sasine being registered Oct. 10, 1673 ('Register of Sasines'). They had at least four sons" (pages 24 and 25)
