Note:

Elsewhere in Moir Genealogy and Collateral Lines, on page 135, a birth-brief is quoted which names this William Moir's wife as "Jean Gordon", and calls her the "daughter to the deceast Gilbert Gordon of Gordonsmill." The birth-brief information is clearly countered by the above two sources. ^{1 2 5 8}

William next married Jean FORBES on 10 August 1628 in Saint Nicholas parish, Aberdeen, Scotland.^{1 3} (Jean FORBES was born about 1607.)
