"William Gordon was twice married. His first wife was Margaret Ogilvy. The Balbithan MS. says she was 'the laird of Banff's daughter,' and widow of Alexander Gordon of Strathawen, a descendant of the third Earl of Huntly and one of the founders of the Gordons of Cluny. By her first husband, who was succeeded by his brother John, she had a daughter Janet, who married her second husband's nephew, James Gordon, II. of Birkenburn. The 1600 Gordon MS. agrees when it makes Margaret Ogilvy a daughter of Sir Walter Ogilvy of Dunlugas."
