Marriage Notes:
"John Gordon, 5th Laird of Craig, married in his father's lifetime Jean, daughter of James Gordon, afterwards Sir James, first Baronet of Lesmoir, and by her had issue -
I. Francis, 6th Laird of Craig.
II. Anna or Anne, who married James Gordon, 4th Laird of Terpersie ; she died apparently in 1671 ; her tombstone is in Tullynessle Churchyard.
Jean Gordon was previously married, and was the relict of George Gordon, fiar of Coclarachie ; as spouse to John Gordon, younger of Craig, she, along with her husband, got sasine in Johnsleys, 1 Sept. 1618 ; again as his spouse she got sasine in Contlach, Auchinleith, &c, 27 Sept. 1624 ; they both got sasine in Contlach again, 8 Dec. 1626 ; and she got sasine as spouse to John G. of Craig, in Mains of Auchindoir, 14 Nov. 1639.
In confirmation of the above I add the following authorities : - According to the Balbithan MS., this laird married the laird of Lesmoir's daughter, relict of George Gordon, fiar of Coclarachie, with whom he begat a son and daughter, viz.: - Francis Gordon, laird of Craig, and his sister Anna, married to James Gordon, laird of Terpersie.
Harperfield's account is generally to the same effect, viz., that he married, in his father's life-time, Jean, daughter of Sir James Gordon of Lesmoir ; issue : 1 son, Francis, heir apparent, and 1 daughter, who married James Gordon of Terpersie. John Gordon, Vth laird of Craig, died in France in 1643."
