  Marriage Notes:

"George Gordon 8th Laird of Geight married the Laird of Ludquharn's Daughter Keith, and begat a daughter ..." (Balbithan)

"1642. July. He married Keith, the laird of Ludquharne's daughter, while his father was still in Germany." (Gight)

"Considerable ambiguity exists about the name of his (George Gordon's) wife. Spalding says (Troubles, ii., 174) he married (in July, 1642) a daughter of Sir William (?) Keith of Ludquharne (whose ancestor, Sir John Keith, had been killed at Flodden)." (Gight)

  Marriage Notes:

"He (George Gordon) seems to have married as his second wife Lucretia, daughter of Robert Irvine of Fedderat by his wife Elizabeth Campbell, daughter of Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenurchy, who was married in 1621 (MS. Pedigree, by Col. Forbes-Leslie at Drum Castle)."
