  General Notes:

"There is some disagreement with regard to her pedigree.

The Tilphoudie MS. and the Harperfeld MS. make her the daughter of James, eldest son of the first baronet. On the other hand, Baird, in his account of the Duffs, Theodore Gordon in his (MS.) history of the Gordons, and the 'chimney' pedigree of the Lesmoir Gordons, make her the daughter of Sir James Gordon, Knight, and Helen Urquhart.

The latter view is borne out by the Aberdeen Register of Sasines (vol. xiv., folio 297) : 1650, June 8 - Sasine proceeding upon charter to Ann Gordon, eldest daughter of Sir James Gordon of Newton Garie, Knight Baronet, and to George Gordon of Tillichowdie, his heirs and assignees whatsoever, heritably under reversion, as specified in the contract of marriage between the saids George and Ann Gordons, of the town and dominical lands of Newton Garie, at present occupied by Mr. James Gordon and his sub-tenants, and an annual rent of £40, furth of the town and lands of Verstoun [Westroun ?] in the parish of Drumblade ; at Balmad, May 3, 1650: sasine given June 7, 1650. The witnesses include Alexander, lawful son of Sir William Gordon of Lesmoir. Robert Gordon in Mill of Auchindore is baillie. The entry (folio 299) immediately following and of same date, is sasine on liferent charter granted by George Gordon of Tillichowdie to the said Anne Gordon, of the town and lands of Tillichowdie and croft thereof called Tillibrein lying in the lordship and parish of Aboyne, the town and lands of Auchmenzie, Tirracroft and Calsayend in the parish of Clatt; at Balmad, May 23, 1650: sasine June 8, 1650."

from Lesmoir 1


Anna married George GORDON of Tilphoudie, son of John GORDON of Auchmenzie and Tilphoudie and Bisse CHEYNE.1 (George GORDON of Tilphoudie was born about 1590 and died in January 1654 1.)


  Marriage Notes:

"Anna (Gordon) was the second wife of George Gordon of Tilphoudie, whose first wife was a daughter of ------- Keith of Ravenscraig .... Tilphoudie was sixty-one when he married Anna Gordon (Tilphoudie MS.)."

from Lesmoir 1

Anna next married John GORDON elder, 5th of Beldorney, Commissioner of Supply Banff, son of George GORDON 4th of Beldorney and Daughter LYON, in 1658.1 2 (John GORDON elder, 5th of Beldorney, Commissioner of Supply Banff was born about 1632 and died after 1685 3.)


  Marriage Notes:

"Gordons of Beldornie

In the Pasch roll of 1671 the Laird of Muiresk drops out for the baronie of Beldornie, the entry appearing blank. At Michaelmas the entry appears as 'the Laird of Beldornie,' presumably John Gordon.

24 January, 1670. - Saising John Gordone of Beldornie, of all and haill the toune and lands of Belcherie.

31 May, 1683. - Saisine given to Jon Gordone, elder of Beldornie, and Anna Gordone, his spouse, in lifrent, and John Gordon yor the son, of all and haill that prt and portione of the lands of Belchirie, w' the pertinents."

from Records of the County of Banff




"The Tilphoudie MS. says that her husband, George Gordon of Tilphoudie, died in January, 1654, and that in 1658 she married John Gordon of Beldorny. She was buried at Strathbogie along with her second husband."
