"In the Cairnborrow genealogy, as given by Balbithan, we find that John Gordon of Rothiemay married Elizabeth Barclay, heritrix of Towie, and got with her the lands of Towie. On 3 February 1693, a charter was granted to Elizabeth Barclay, designed lady of Towie, and John Gordon, her husband, in liferent, and to Patrick Barclay, their only son, whom failing the other heirs male of Elizabeth, then to her heirs female. John Gordon of Rothiemay seems to have died within about 5 years afterwards ; for Patrick Barclay alias Gordon of Rothiemay and Towie was retoured heir of John G. of Rothiemay, his father in an annual rent of £104 of the town and lands of Glenbucket and Fairntoul 5 Oct. 1698 : and Patrick Gordon or Barclay of Towie was retoured heir to his grandfather Patrick B. of Towie, who died, Heir special in Blairmonmouth, Crimongorth, &c, on appraisement. (Decennial Retours Aberdeenshire 20 July 1712.)"
