   User ID: L895

John married Daughter MACINTOSH, daughter of Donald MACINTOSH 'Tutor of Macintosh', 3rd of Kyllachy and Kathrine ROSE.¹ (Daughter MACINTOSH was born about 1555.)

  Marriage Notes:

"John (Gordon) of Rhynie. The Balbithan MS. says he married 'the goodman of Altourleys' [Altounleys' ?] daughter'. A John Gordon 'of Auldtounleyis' was denounced a rebel in connection with the murder of the Earl of Moray at Donnibristle.

The Balbithan MS. says John of Rhynie had a son, Harry, 'who dwelt in Tomaclagan in Strathawen'. There was a family of Gordon 'in' Tomnachlaggan early in the eighteenth century, who are represented to-day by the Gordons in Lettoch (See Huntly Express, June 7, 14, 1906)."
