from Balbithan MS




"Alexander (Gordon), second laird of Knockespock succeeded his father. He married, according to the Balbithan MS., p. 63, 'a daughter of Baillie of Ardneidlie, lady Aswanly.' Baillie's designation is given as 'of Ardnilly' in Records of Aboyne, p. 179. The place mentioned is, I presume, Arndilly, on the Spey. It was, I believe, formerly in the parish of Keith, is now in that of Boharm ; had been part of the possessions of the Earls of Huntly, but had been disponed to the family of Baillie, and later was subfeued by them to the Meldrums of Eden. Thomas Baillie of Ardneidlie seems to have married Katharine Gordon, daughter of Alexander Gordon of Drumin, of the Buckie family, as her second husband. These Baillies were cadets of the Lamington family. (See Balb. MS., p. 57, and Records of Aboyne, p. 179.) Knockespock' s wife was probably the relict of a Calder of Aswanley. Thomas Bailye of Arnely was a witness to a charter granted by the Earl of Huntly to John Gordoun, then Ogilvy, in 1545 (R.M.S.. II., 3261).

The 2nd laird of Knockespock had by his wife, Ardneidlie's daughter, 4 sons and 3 daughters, viz.

I. James, afterwards of Knockespock.

II. Mr Alexander Gordon, burgess in Elgin, married (1st) Marjory Grant, (2nd) Anne, daughter of the laird of Strathawen.

III. Robert in Clatt, mentioned as 'in Towie'' in 1590 (Reg. Priv. Co., IV., p. 473).

IV. John of Bouges (or Boigges), Sheriff-Depute of Aberdeen, who married Arbuthnott (Balb. MS., p. 64).

1. A daughter, married William Gordoun of Tulliangus.

2. A daughter.

3. A daughter. (Mostly from Balb. MS., p 63.)"
