"Elspet, married Arthur Garden of Banchory, who was the son of George Garden and Isobel Keith, daughter of John(?) Keith, laird of Troup (brother of the 5th Earl Marischal). According to the 'Birth Brieves,' published in the Spalding Club Miscellany, they had
Alexander Garden of Banchory, who married Janet Strachan, and had
George Garden, captain in the German army. He probably was the Rittmaster who initiated General Patrick Gordon of Auchleuchries into the ways of foreign service. The mother of the Rev. Dr. William Garden Blaikie was descended from this family. A Major Garden, 'laird of Troup,' son to the laird of Nether Banchory, died May, 1662. (Scottish Notes and Queries, 1st series, vii., 54.)"
